In this episode Sarah Elkins and Tom Jackobs discuss the importance of allowing yourself to stretch and change but also staying true to yourself and your values despite all these changes.

What others say about Tom's appearances...
Tom Is Brilliant As A Podcast Guest
Tom was so fun to have as a guest on the Badass In Business Show. His style is relaxed yet the content he delivers is impactful. His stories are humorous, always make a great point.
Tom added great value to the show as he shared the power of storytelling to create an impact and inspire people to buy your products or services in the sales conversation. It's so easy to get tripped up in sales conversations however; using the power of stories takes the pressure off and creates a more natural conversational flow. I look forward to having him as a guest again on a later show.
Tom, Isn't Just A Good Guest....He Is A Great Guest
Tom was a great guest, who bought into the vibe of the show 100% He was personable, fun and allowed for the conversation to go wherever it wanted.
Tom shared the knowledge of story telling for sales, but never once did you feel that he was preaching. He was just honestly sharing what he felt was useful as the questions were posed....five stars all the way
Everyone Should Tell Their Story
Tom brings authenticity and vulnerability at a level that can only create massive value for the listeners.
Tom's signature stories provided concrete examples of how outstanding storytelling can influence an audience through emotion and empathy. In the modern age of information overload and unsustainable "noise," this a tool that every business professional needs to stand out.
