Jason was fortunate to visit, in a two-part series, with the ultra-talented Travis Wycoff on the Coaching DNA Podcast.

In part one, Jason discusses how mentors Mike Holder and Stu Starner cultivated a confidence and passion for fundraising in him. He also shared his process to help clients raise more money.

Jason enthusiastically shares the success of the Surefire Baseball Forum in part two. He believes Surefire has achieved its mission, of preparing coaches and promoting college baseball, squarely because of the administrators and coaches that volunteer their time and talents to pay it forward.
