Unfortunately, Jason’s father battled with long-term Lung Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure and his father inevitably passed away in 2013. This whole heartedly changed Jason’s vision, philosophy, and life forever as a teacher as well as individual. From that moment, it provided him with a chance to reflect on where he was educationally, competitively, financially, and entrepreneurially. He knew that he had to adapt his skills in order to create his own innate vision so that he could be successful as an entrepreneur and educator. Jason knew that education, learning, and teaching was the one area that he wanted to continue to leave his mark on and help evolve into the future. He recognized that success comes from discovering ones individual potential and that sometimes individuals need a hand in connecting their learning, personalities, skills, talents, and gifts in order to bring them to fruition. Abraham Lincoln once stated, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
