Live Like Jack Film Project
It’s all about living life with intent. Fearless in who you are, in how high you can reach, how far you can go. It’s all about listening to that inner voice. The one that whispers, never compromise, never fear, never betray your dreams. Stay true to the path, steer by the stars and trust the voice in your gut.
That’s just how Jack lived. Ferociously, uncompromisingly true to himself, true to his dreams.
And you can bet that folks said he was nuts. Said his dreams were too big and his aim was too wild. But he had the drive and the grit to answer, “Hey, that’s never been done? Now get out of my way!”
So, go right ahead, folks. Tempt the unknown, step off the edge and chase that dream. Define for yourself when the journey begins, where it leads…and whether it ever ends.
Go right ahead.

1) that they too would choose a career without knowing much about the world and what they were truly passionate about and
2) that time was running out quickly and with it, quality time with his boys. As a skateboarder, with sons who have been traveling, competing, and skating for numerous years, so starting a skateboard business seemed natural to them.
