In this episode of THE WE ARE ALL AWESOME SHOW powered by WiddyUP, we sit down with Jacob Doss, a former Division 1 football player turned entrepreneur, who is on a mission to revolutionize trade education. Jacob takes us through his incredible journey—from leading on the field to leading in business—and how he’s building a powerhouse brand of trade schools that could become the Harvard of hands-on learning. He shares his vision for scaling trade schools nationwide, creating top-tier training programs, and forming game-changing partnerships with major employers to ensure students land high-paying jobs.

Beyond education, Jacob dives deep into the lessons he’s learned in business and life: the power of surrounding yourself with the right people, simplifying complex problems into bullet-point solutions, and embracing the long game in entrepreneurship. He also shares the advice he’d give his 10-year-old self, the importance of having fun along the way, and why success often comes down to persistence and preparation. If you’re an entrepreneur, an educator, or just looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
