“It’s rare that you come across a speaker who makes economics fun and exciting. I had the pleasure of working with Jason planning a 1-hour session for a leadership meeting. He was a pleasure to collaborate with on the session concept and content, and his professionalism and communication throughout the process was stellar. Jason’s presentation to our leadership team “knocked it out of the park”! The material was relevant, he was engaging, funny, practical and demystified some common industry jargon. Jason’s personality and presentation style is infectious and raised the energy in the room tenfold. If you are looking to have an engaged and excited audience, Jason is an excellent choice.”
