ONE ASK AWAY: The Power of Asking in the Age of AI
Turns asking from an inspirational idea into a 24-hour action system. Jim connects his personal journey—from $5/hr at West Coast Video and one question to Gary Papa, to sports television around Kobe, Jordan, and Gretzky, to 20 asks (19 no’s, 1 yes) to meet Journey—with the new reality of AI-enabled operating capacity ($65,000 Labor Day PO case study).
INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP (90-MIN TO FULL-DAY)
THE DIVERGENT ASK: What Business Is Hiding Inside Your Business?
Founders and leadership teams walk through FIND → DIVERGE → DECIDE → ASK, map their Dream 100 trajectory-changers, and apply The Scalable Ask (Break It Down → Draw the Human Line → Define Done → Ask Again).
STAGE INTRODUCTION SCRIPT (FOR EMCEE / CHAPTER CHAIR)
“Our next speaker started out making $5 an hour rewinding VHS tapes at West Coast Video before one bold question launched him into network sports television alongside icons like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky. Today he is an Inc. 5000 founder, EO leader, and operator who uses AI not just to get answers—but to unlock capacity and make bigger asks. Please welcome Jim Jacobs!”
AUDIENCE PROMISE
“Do not leave with inspiration. Leave with an ask.”
