Listen To The Podcast: Isn’t it interesting how sometimes one phone call can completely change the direction of our lives? Sometimes it’s a path we’ve been wanting to follow but just hadn’t started...maybe the timing wasn’t right or we lacked courage. That’s what happened to Jake Kloberdanz, my guest on today’s episode of DREAM THINK DO… One phone call changed everything. When Jake was only 23 years old, he got together with some friends and founded ONEHOPE, a cause-centric company. That was 10 years ago and he hasn’t looked back.

I invited Jake to talk about the inspiration behind ONEHOPE and how he and his friends have built such a successful cause-centric business.
