Biography
Jake Thompson is an international keynote speaker, anti-complacency strategist, 4x author, and the founder of Compete Every Day®, a performance brand he built from the trunk of his car in 2011. He took it from $60,000 in debt to a 7-figure company now worn by leaders in 62 countries.
As a CSP®-certified keynote speaker, a designation held by fewer than 700 speakers worldwide, Jake has delivered more than 500 keynotes to organizations including Pfizer, Deloitte, Genentech, Titleist Golf, WestRock, and the Associated General Contractors of America. His work helps elite sales teams, executives, and frontline leaders diagnose drift: the slow, invisible backward movement that erodes competitive edge after a team has already won.
Clients consistently tell Jake the same thing: his frameworks survive the flight home. They close the gap between what teams know and what they actually do.
Jake's body of work extends well beyond the stage: his Compete Every Day podcast has been downloaded over two million times (top 1% globally), and his work has been featured in Forbes and Inc. Magazine. He holds an MBA and a Mental Performance Mastery (MPM) certification.
Jake lives in Frisco, Texas, with his wife Elena and four rescue dogs named after desserts: Donut, Snacks, Cookie, and Pop-Tart.
Introduction
My guest today built a global brand on a single belief: the only competition worth having is the one with who you were yesterday.
Jake Thompson started Compete Every Day in 2011 selling t-shirts out of the trunk of his car. That brand now reaches leaders in 62 countries. He's a four-time author — his latest book Beat Yesterday just dropped — a CSP®-certified keynote speaker, and the founder of one of the more honest frameworks in leadership development: stop measuring yourself against everyone else and start measuring yourself against who you were yesterday.
He's not here to tell you to grind harder or dream bigger. He's going to tell you why your biggest competitive threat isn't out there — and what to do about it.
Oh, and his four rescue dogs are named Donut, Snacks, Pop-Tart, and Cookie.
No, I did not make that up.
Jake, welcome to the show.
