Seantae Jackson visits us again with some very touching words that will inspire and uplift you! 

Seantae and her family started the Sandal Blue Foundation years ago when she and her husband Trevor were on a backpacking trip with their 14-year-old twins, Cameron and Owen. Their trip was cut short when a head-on collision with another vehicle left all five with severe injuries. Despite facing long recoveries, they were grateful for the support they received and recognized a need for more resources and understanding. This inspired the creation of the Sandal Blue Foundation, founded just a year after their accident, to help others in similar situations.

In addition to her work with the foundation, Seantae Jackson offers public speaking services focused on helping others shift their perspectives to uncover new possibilities and embrace meaningful change. Her speaking topics include The Power of Perspective, Perspective after Trauma, Caregiving with Perspective, and Perspective in Community, all designed to help individuals and groups see challenges in a new light and navigate them with resilience and insight.

Jeff lives in Northern California and is a retired business executive. During his career, he dedicated much time to learning and self-development, and on that path, he met Gary Price. Jeff became enamored with the concept of the Statue of Responsibility and has been an advocate.

One of Jeff’s core beliefs is that “Responsibility is never given, it’s taken.” He believes that there are no handouts in life and that we each achieve and obtain what it is we work and strive for.
