Greetings, Podcast Universe! I am really excited about today's show on which I speak with Jake Thompson, a specialist in the area of competition.

In my mind, competition is a primary way to motivate ourselves to achieve more in life. I grew up in the crucible of competitive swimming, and the skills I learned have led to almost everything I've been able to achieve. Jake helps teams establish a competitor's mindset because he believes it’s the path to becoming resilient, pursuing your passion and smashing your goals.

Jake is a popular speaker and also the Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer at Compete Every Day. He started selling T-shirts out of the trunk of his car in 2011 and is now distributing globally through retailers and his online store. A native of Texas, he's a graduate of both Texas Christian University and the University of Dallas. He is also the youngest strategic advisory board member at the University of Dallas's College of Business.
