Keynote Sessions
• Bert Jacobs, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Optimist, Life is good, Inc. (biography) -
Bert Jacobs is adept at drawing lessons from his first-hand story that can inspire and guide organizations of all sizes. In 1989, Bert and John Jacobs designed their first tee shirt. They knew nothing about the business. For five years, the brothers hawked tee shirts in the streets of Boston and traveled the East Coast, selling door-to-door in college dormitories, and sleeping in their van. By the Fall of 1994, heading home from a long, less-than-fruitful road trip, Bert and John were desperately searching for answers to keep the dream alive. Little did they know, the only answer they needed was back in Boston, hanging up on their apartment wall. A dozen years later, their business, Life is good, has reached sales of over $120 million a year, with products sold in nearly 5,000 retailers nationwide and in 29 countries. The Jacobs brothers and the business they built offer strong lessons for entrepreneurs everywhere, a fact that Inc. Magazine, the Financial Times and the New York Times recognized when they featured articles on the brothers and Life is good. The Life is good Company, based in Boston, MA, spreads the power of optimism through its colorful collection of apparel and accessories, its optimistic cultural hero with the huge smile, Jake, and its commitment to improving the lives of children in need through its foundation.
