An accomplished sales trainer, Paul first made a name for himself as The Cold Call Coach. Cold calling? You mean the sales practice that everyone dreads? Yes indeed. Paul actually likes cold calling, has been very successful at it, and teaches others how to do so fruitfully. His book, “The Secrets to Cold Call Success,” is an Amazon best-seller.
A free thinker and truth seeker, Paul spearheaded the creation of Young Guns, a movement that encourages entrepreneurs and professionals to speak up, be real, and share the most authentic version of themselves. The world is a fast-moving place. They’re changing how business gets done.
In between, Paul lives in Colgate, Wis., with his wife, Tanya, and their three children. The most important part of his unconventional life is the most conventional of all. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
A few years ago, Paul nearly worked himself to death. He was a mess, stressed out and alienated from those who meant the most to him. God stepped in. Paul let Him take charge. Paul’s career took off, and he was soon speaking to audiences in the tens of thousands, inspiring and empowering people to use their unique qualities for success and fulfillment.
A slightly unconventional path? Maybe so. For Paul, it’s the only one to follow.

After graduating from the Harvard of the Midwest (University of Wisconsin Whitewater) Jacob decided not to use his degree in teaching, but instead God opened the door to go on the road touring full time as a Magician/Evangelist. Performing in front of crowds up to 4,000, shows would lead to an opportunity to share the gospel through Scripture. Performing primarily on College Campuses, doing magic was fun, but seeing students lives changed through the power of God’s word and our testimony is something he will always cherish!
