Today I’m excited to welcome Jake Thompson to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Jake Thompson is a speaker and entrepreneur, as well as the founder & Chief Encouragement Officer of the global lifestyle brand Compete Every Day.

After college, Jake wanted a career path that would help him create a legacy that he was proud of. He wanted to find a way to create a business and message for someone that wanted to pursue greatness in their life, health, work and dreams.

Jake spent a few years building a very successful marketing consulting business before a book changed his entire perspective and sent him on a new path at the age of 26. He spent months trying out different projects before starting to build Compete Every Day and inspire others with the idea that their life is worth competing for.

Now, six years later, Jake has turned a t-shirt company he started out of his car into a thriving brand, community and team spreading the positive mindset.
