About Me
I believe the best version of myself emerges when I'm deep in the process of learning, applying that knowledge with my own creativity, and sharing what I've discovered. Whether I'm navigating a new trail, exploring new technology, or mastering a new skill, that cycle of growth is what truly drives me.
My name is Kenny Jacobs. At its core, this website is a journal of that process. But my ultimate goal is to help others turn their own dreams into reality. It’s my personal mission to share my journey in a way that might provide a spark for your next adventure, whatever that may be.
My Philosophy
My experiences have shaped a personal philosophy that I apply to everything I do, especially when it comes to leading people. I believe true leadership is about helping others grow, overcome obstacles, and achieve more than they thought possible. This applies whether I'm managing a team in my career or guiding a group out of their comfort zone on a new trail. My philosophy is built on three parts: the principles that drive me, the values that guide me, and the strengths that enable me.
My Guiding Principles (The Engine)
⚡️ Sense of Urgency: Recognizing that time is a precious resource and acting swiftly to seize opportunities.
🚀 Bias for Action: Embracing a proactive mindset, prioritizing action over endless planning, and learning through doing.
⛰️ Relentless Pursuit: Maintaining an unwavering commitment to my goals, overcoming obstacles, and continuously striving for improvement.
My Core Values (The Compass)
Impact: I strive to make a positive difference in the world.
Growth: I am committed to continuous learning and improvement.
Resilience: I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
Integrity: I act with honesty and transparency in all my endeavors.
Collaboration: I believe in the power of teamwork and shared success.
My Strengths (The Toolkit)
These five strengths are the foundation of my leadership style and explain how I turn my principles and values into action.
Strategic: I see patterns and possibilities where others don't, creating effective long term plans.
Command: I take charge and confidently lead others, unafraid of difficult decisions.
Activator: I turn thoughts into action, initiating projects and driving momentum.
Maximizer: I focus on strengths to elevate individuals and teams from good to great.
