About

“Most of my successes in life have come from learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” – Jesse Itzler I’m Jesse and it is my passion to get the most out of life!! I’ve spoken on HUGE stages, built BIG businesses, climbed icy mountains and am dedicated to sharing my unconventional journey with the hopes to inspire others. From sleeping on 17 different couches when I started my entrepreneurial journey, to building a $5Billion Private Jet company with no prior experience, my motto has always been to get my foot in the door first and figure it out later. I’ve made it my mission to seek success in MULTIPLE buckets of my life: business, adventure, mindset, health and wellness. I always say, the more we experience, the more we have to offer to others. When I speak, I show up as the 100% version of myself whether I’m amping up an NFL Locker Room, sharing wisdom from the stage at Tony Robbins Business Mastery or inspiring a young audience in a University auditorium. I’m a unique storyteller full of passion, energized by the opportunity to activate an excitement for life in others. Through weaving in life and business experiences, I not only share examples of the challenges I’ve overcome, but IMMEDIATE actionable takeaways for the audience too. If you’re looking for a speaker to provide a powerpoint presentation for your audience to follow, I’m not your guy. If you want your team, your group, your audience to feel excited, empowered and motivated to win and take action, put me on speed dial!!!

29029 everesting

Co-Founder

Jan 2017Present · 9 yrs 3 mos · Atlanta, Georgia, United States

  • When we initially set out, we had the intention to create the best endurance event on the planet. Most of the sporting events out there were all often known for their distance whether it's the 100-meter dash, the 26.2 mile, or 140.6 in the Ironman. But Marc and I soon discovered in our research that there were no events that were synonymous with vertical gain. We then began wondering, 'What if we brought the vertical height of Mt. Everest, 29,029 feet to be precise, to our participants?'
  • Basically, 29029 Everesting gives people a unique way to summit as many times they could within a 36 hour period. This is more than just getting to the top. It's about watching people get out of their comfort zone, expand their mindset and surprise themselves by achieving what they thought was impossible.
  • 29029 is about being part of an amazing community of people with shared experiences that inspires them to tap into their greatness. This is a place for people to create memories with like minded individuals, discover what they’re made of, and leave the mountain better than they arrived.
  • Over the past couple of years It's been so powerful to see people - moms, C-level executives, fathers, business owners overcome mental and physical challenges while summiting the mountain. Every year, I’m amazed by the stories that come out of the mountain. The people who had never run a 5k yet signed up and committed to summit Everest, the couples who used this event to rebuild their relationships, and those who looked to prove to themselves they could achieve what they put their mind to.
  • I’m proud and humbled that this event has the ability to positively impact people and help them tear down their self imposed limitations.
