Jason Katzenback is the co-founder of Amazing.

Jason ended up quitting his job after realizing that being with the company was not as secure as he had thought and did $3.5 million the following year. He eventually met Matt Clark and the rest was history and Amazing.com has taught over 30,000 students how to build a successful Amazon business. Amazing has their flagship course, Amazing Selling Machine, Seller Pro their monthly membership, Amazing Accelerators for existing sellers looking to scale their business, and their annual conference Seller Con not to be missed with past speakers like Richard Branson, Sara Blakely the founder of Spanx, and many more.

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you suddenly realize that everything you thought was important suddenly isn’t? If you listen to the stories of people who tragically lost a loved one, you’ll begin to notice a theme - time. Everyone wishes that they had more time with the loved one that they lost. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until tragedy strikes to come to this realization. Learn from the story and experiences of leaders like Jason Katzenback and make sure you have your priorities in the right place.

Wouldn’t it be great if girls and boys from a young age were inspired and encouraged to make the most of their lives? Too often, our culture gets so focused on what you can do and what you can produce that it fails to share the vital message of empowerment. From his parenting approach to his business career - Jason Katzenback is all about empowerment. Sure, Jason could provide for his daughter for the rest of her life, but he wants to empower her to realize her abilities and to carve out her own path.
