In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Jacob Brown — former NFL player turned transformational speaker, coach, and author of the international best-seller Fail Forward Mentality. And most importantly? One of the kindest humans I’ve ever met.
Together, we dive into our very first Author Swap, sharing the stories behind our books, the writing process, and our views on leadership, personal growth, and the power of showing up authentically.
Jacob’s book, Fail Forward Mentality, is packed with positive guidance and 100 inspirational quotes that truly resonated with me. One that stands out:
“Be you, they’ll adjust.”
A powerful reminder to stop shrinking or shifting for others — and to keep leading as your full, unapologetic self.
This conversation was energizing, inspiring, and full of heart. Thank you, Jacob, for making this first-ever Author Swap so memorable.
