What others say:
"Jason arrived with a positive, energetic attitude. He presented an audience-capturing and engaging talk with slides that allowed you to focus on the words he was saying, instead of trying to read paragraphs off of the screen. As the first speaker, he really started the workshop off with a bang. The thing that stuck out to me was the resources that Jason provided were focused on areas that usually get neglected when thinking about innovation. Very informative and intriguing."

He spoke to new trends and examples in the world that we've all seen as consumers, and reframes them in a way that gives business owners the freedom and urge to think of practical applications for their own businesses. His approachable personality and patient approach makes him relatable to the SMB audience at large."
