What clients say about Jacob

“Having Jacob come speak to and advise our small group of local CEOs was eye-opening, very educational, and fascinating. He was able to explain in a simple (but not simplistic) way how global politics affects our businesses. We thought we knew the basics of geopolitics, but Jacob challenged us to go deeper—to better understand why different nations behave the way they do, and to build that unique perspective into managing our small businesses."

"He did great, wrapped up a good day and generated the most interaction with the crowd. His content was solid and really made our customers think about what’s going on and could happen."

"We hired Jacob to speak at two of our events and he was the highest-rated speaker by attendees at both events. Jacob possesses a wealth of knowledge on so many geopolitical topics (agriculture, energy, global markets, etc.), and his presentation was exactly what we were hoping for. Jacob was also very professional and courteous to work with. I HIGHLY recommend booking him for any speaking engagement—he is gifted at captivating an audience."

"Last year, we held our bi-annual conference around the Tissue production industry, which was going to bring together 350+ of our most important industry professionals. Expectations were high as this was the first in-person conference after the pandemic. Jacob delivered an outstanding presentation, with superb speaking skills, excellently targeted content to get the participants aware of exactly what we wanted to provide. His insights and ideas were delivered in a very fluent and professional way. Feedback was off the charts as his presentation was the highest rated among the 3-day conference."
