Editorial Reviews

Jeremy is one of the most compelling entrepreneurs I’ve ever worked with—actually, one of the most compelling individuals I’ve ever worked with. Always striving for the next goal, taking each setback as an opportunity to learn, surrounding himself with people he can learn from. Jeremy’s never-give-up attitude is infectious and makes him extremely effective.
SETH LEVINE, Managing Director at Foundry Group, Integrate Board Member

I took Jeremy snowboarding for his first time. He went from terrible to excelling in a matter of hours. Part of it was natural talent, but part was that he didn’t fear failing. The rest was sheer tenacity. That embodies how Jeremy goes about learning new things and this book reflects it. He’s done the research—practical and theoretical—and delivers great guidance on staying the course to reach success.
BILL MARIS, President and Managing Partner at Google Ventures

Jeremy recounts his journey from athletics to entrepreneurship with humility, sharing the back story behind his public defeats, and more importantly, revealing priceless lessons in competing for success. If you compete at anything—sports, business, or life—you need this book.
SCOTT BLACKMUN, United States Olympic Committee CEO

Jeremy has packed a lifetime of experience into 32 years. While he’s led an extraordinary life thus far, the ups and downs he’s experienced are something we can all connect with and learn from. His story is inspiring and the lessons he imparts are invigorating.
TONY BATES, President of GoPro, Former CEO of Skype, Former VP of Cisco and Microsoft

Jeremy is proof that mindset is everything. He brings together the best people and supercharges them with his unique energy. His Olympian work ethic and discipline works in the boardroom as well as it did on the ski slopes and football field. He will inspire you, too.
