Jes was an inspiration to our Adams Apprentices. Her keynote speech at our Adams Gala hit hard on key points about entrepreneurial leadership around balance and focusing on priorities from well respected current leaders. Our Adams Apprentices are 32 students from across the university that we spend an intense year with to hone their entrepreneurial skills as an individual and leader. Key influencers like Jes are a critical element in helping teach these young students not only how to be a successful entrepreneur, but also how to lead themselves personally
