About Jason Thibeault

Jason grew up in a log cabin in the woods with a fireplace for heat and no paved roads. No cable TV either. His entertainment was a Commodore VIC-20, a stack of books, and whatever he could draw, take apart, or build. (Tinkering was a thing!) That early mix of isolation, curiosity, and rebuilding never left.

He started college aiming for space. Physics pivoted into philosophy, where his natural talent for logic led him to begin teaching it while still a student. Physics, philosophy, psychology all show the same probing to understand..

As an officer, Jason became a figurative rocket in what was then Air Force Space Command. Perfect scores in all areas led to rapid advancement and ultimately an offer to teach philosophy at the Academy.  Civilian life was just as rapid, and he rose from night shift supervisor up four levels to plant manager in four years. 

He eventually brought that same systems mindset into recruiting, training, speaking, and coaching. His career became less about titles and more about helping people think more clearly, make better decisions, and build stronger businesses and better, happier lives.

Jason’s defining trait is the one that started in that cabin: relentless curiosity. He believes life gets easier, and more interesting, when you understand how things work — whether that’s a machine, a market, or a mind.

Enthusiastic Love from Jason's Clients

Susan Leonard Craig

Professional Recruiter ACE OKC, LLC

Jason, I just wanted to let you know that due to the esourcing training I received from you that I found the COO of my client’s dreams! Without your techniques, I would have never uncovered this rainmaking executive. My bank account thanks you! I highly recommend Jason. His training style worked well for both the young techies in our class and the old dogs like me! What I learned has paid off unimaginably.
