Editorial Reviews

"In #Jump, Corey shares his personal story of how he found his way to success. If you're an entrepreneur, a business owner, an artist, or an author, you can learn from Corey's story of creativity and innovation."

Tony Hsieh

“I love this book and its author, Corey Blake, as he has a deep empathy for both the author and the reader with a goal of creating a peak experience for both. I've thought of Corey as a sherpa, the Himalayan guide that helps people trek to the peak, but with this book, I now see Corey as a trailblazer himself. You will be profoundly changed by reading this work of art.”

Chip Conley

"Corey Michael Blake's #Jump is a creativity roadmap to help leaders get to the next level. Take the leap and buy this book!"

Marshall Goldsmith

“I have seldom seen someone so willing to expose themselves authentically - ESPECIALLY in a business niche book. I felt like I was reading a version of my own personal journey through the speaking of a kindred spirit. Corey’s story is close enough for jazz.”

John King

“Corey Blake highlights why the journey we take, and how we interact with others, is far more important than any of our life destinations. His insightful and deeply personal sharing of how the trials and tribulations of life made him successful is enlightening. Learning to JUMP and building the confidence to do so, will help you to be the very best you can be and enable you to feel the euphoria of being able to help others with your own story."
