I help self employed people build structure and systems that lead to consistent sustainable success.
I didn’t start my business because I dreamed of being an entrepreneur.
I started it at 18 as a way to get through school.
At the time, self employment felt temporary. Like something practical, not purposeful. And honestly? There was a season where I didn’t even like being self employed. The freedom everyone talks about didn’t feel free. It felt messy, inconsistent, and heavier than it should have been.
That disconnect forced a turning point.
I realized the issue wasn’t business it was the lack of systems. I wasn’t overwhelmed because I was incapable. I was overwhelmed because everything depended on me.
So I started simplifying.
I built clear frameworks for sales, follow-up, leadership, and time management. Not to grow faster, but to survive better. What happened next surprised me. Growth accelerated. Confidence increased. And for the first time, being self-employed actually felt sustainable.
Those systems went on to help me lead the fastest growing team in my organization, set multiple growth records, earn national recognition.
All of that was humbling, but it was a by product. It was a by product of creating a life I loved, and empowering those around me to have success.
Today, I help business owners and sales leaders do the same. Especially those who feel trapped by the very business they built. I teach simple, repeatable systems that allow people to grow without burnout, lead teams aligned with their values, and build success they’re proud of.
Podcast audiences connect with this story because it’s not about chasing entrepreneurship it’s about making it livable. It’s for people who didn’t necessarily set out to build a business, but now want to build one that actually supports their life.
If your listeners want growth without chaos and leadership without losing themselves this is a conversation worth having.

Jake Isaacs
Serial Integrator & Mastermind Leader Helping Entrepreneurs Build Resilient Businesses, Unbreakable Teams & Generational Impact
If you are a Host looking to serve business owners, leaders, or entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed trying to grow while juggling life then I am your guy... I’m here to bring clarity.
My name is Jake Isaacs; Serial Integrator, Mastermind Leader, and Co-Founder of Gathering The Kings. GTK helps high-performing entrepreneurs win not just in business, but in marriage, family, health, faith, and lifestyle. I’ve spent over 20 years leading operations across multiple industries and have learned what most business owners eventually discover: more success doesn’t automatically mean more freedom — unless you build it intentionally.
Your audience will gain practical, real-world frameworks they can immediately apply — whether it’s building operational systems that free up their time, developing unbreakable teams that lead without them, or learning how to lead with empathy while still executing at a high level. I share stories, strategies, and mindset shifts that help entrepreneurs simplify growth, create margin, and avoid sacrificing their marriage, health, or family on the altar of business.
We will also explore the unique role community plays in sustaining long-term growth. I’ve seen firsthand how the right relationships, personally and professionally, give business owners the strength to weather life’s storms.
Additional, I help families raise up the next generation of entrepreneurs through Generation Next, providing young people with the business and leadership training they aren't getting in school — something that resonates deeply with parents and business owners alike.
If you’re looking for an interview that blends business growth, leadership, family, faith, and real operational expertise — I’d be honored to serve your audience.

NASHVILLE'S ONLY VETERAN OWNED & OPERATED TOUR OPERATOR
I’m a combat veteran, Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, former UK Parliamentary Fellow, and the founder of Nashville Adventures, a walking tour company I built from a $3,600 passion project into a $500K award-winning business in under two years, without outside capital, insider connections, or tourism industry backing.
My journey into entrepreneurship started in Afghanistan. After an injury on deployment, the recovery process left me with nothing but time and a lot of survivor’s guilt. To rebuild a sense of purpose, I began volunteering at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, giving historical tours. I didn’t realize it then, but that experience would change the entire trajectory of my life. It taught me that storytelling can heal, connect, and rebuild identity. Years later, when I moved to Nashville, I turned that realization into a business.
Nashville Adventures is now one of the fastest-growing independent tour companies in the city, known for immersive history experiences instead of gimmicks. We’ve served more than 15,000 guests, earned multiple tourism awards, and donate 1% of all revenue to veteran-related causes and local scholarship programs.
My story resonates with listeners because it intersects resilience, service, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven business. I’m comfortable going deep about trauma, rebuilding identity, meaningful work, leadership lessons from the battlefield and the Peace Corps, scaling a bootstrapped company, or navigating Nashville’s evolving tourism landscape.
Podcast audiences get real, unfiltered insights on:
How to build something meaningful from nothing
Positive, community-driven entrepreneurship
The mental side of transition after military service
What immersive storytelling teaches us about leadership
How to grow a business without investors, connections, or shortcuts
Why service-based businesses can outperform louder, better-funded competitors
Why Nashville needs storytellers and not just entertainment
At the heart of it, my story is about building a second life after the military, finding a mission bigger than myself, and proving that purposeful businesses can thrive while giving back.
If your audience loves conversations about overcoming adversity, building authentic brands, leadership, history, impact, or meaningful entrepreneurship, I’m a strong fit and look forward to creating a powerful, engaging episode with you.
