The Journey to Education Entrepreneurship

Jake Thompson's transition from a successful career in financial services to education entrepreneurship highlights his evolving sense of fulfillment and purpose. Initially thriving in his financial role and gaining recognition through a best-selling book, he felt a deeper calling to pursue meaningful engagement in education. This led him to the Acton School of Business, where he experienced a transformative approach to learning that emphasized real-world challenges and personal growth. Inspired by the Acton Academy model, he and his wife ultimately decided to create their own Acton Academy in Boise, recognizing the need for a learning environment that genuinely nurtured young people's capabilities.
