From growing up in tough circumstances to building a $14M powerhouse with Encore Search Partners, he’s turned every obstacle into fuel for growth. We get into how he built his executive search firm from scratch, the marketing smarts that gave him an edge, and the leadership lessons that helped him scale through downturns and even COVID. Beyond business, Jeremy opens up about his engagement, family, and his surprisingly serious pickleball game. It’s a raw, inspiring look at grit, growth, and the kind of mindset it takes to turn zero into $14 million.Click here to watch a video of this episode.00:00 - Intro00:32 - Who is Jeremy Jensen03:04 - Upbringing and Background07:50 - Building a Large Firm10:48 - Overcoming Challenges in 201614:35 - The Human Element in Business17:28 - Shared Experiences and Stories20:10 - Responsibility for Team Members25:40 - Jeremy's Interests Outside of Work26:44 - Encore Search Partners' Awards28:35 - Letting Go of Top Performers30:51 - Impact of AI on Business33:19 - Future of Encore Search Partners35:35 - Discussion on Houston38:48 - Connecting with Jeremy Jensen41:02 - Outrohttps://twitter.com/collide_iohttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.iohttps://www.facebook.com/collide.iohttps://www.instagram.com/collide.iohttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_iohttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hYSHYQs64Onl2QuGTTUmlexIUz97CGUbWPpPWyISBxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWEx/Y2FkN2E5MTdiMjJk/NTNlOTU0ODliZTEw/NWVlMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
