Not only a success story, a real one.

In Jim’s new book, coming soon, a deeply personal journey unfolds through success, adversity, and the search for meaning beyond achievement. It reflects on the experiences that shape us—and the questions that stay with us.

Author, business leader & seeker of perspective

A traveler of both the outer world and the inner one, Jim draws from a lifetime of leadership to explore meaning, growth & perspective. He brings these reflections together in his new book, Reckoning.
