Though his presentations vary according to a variety of topics, Jerome’s true passion and the focus of his bestselling book “Get Up, Get Out & Get Motivated” is helping people perform at their best and achieve bigger results.
Jerome’s passions stem from the personal agony that he felt when he began his first business at the age of 19 with high hopes of prosperity; yet these hopes were dashed when he ended up in the hole more than $100,000 by the age of 25. However, Jerome’s relentless determination would not allow him to give up. Refusing to settle for life’s second best, he decided to Get Up, Get Out & Get Something. In 2002, he founded the Texas Black Expo, Inc. which now produces one of America’s largest business expos.
