Ever started a business on a whim, just to cure boredom or pursue a passion? For serial entrepreneur Jeff Fenster, that's exactly how his wildly successful multi-million acai bowl franchise, Everbowl, was born.
But Jeff's path to success was anything but linear. From enlisting in the Marine Corps to pursuing a law degree, Jeff tried all the ‘donkey ideas’ before stumbling upon his true unicorn. He even "retired" at a young age, only to discover that a life without purpose left him feeling unfulfilled.

In a moment of boredom, Jeff took a leap of faith and signed a lease for his first Everbowl location with no business plan, no menu, and no clue what he was doing.

However, his unique approach to building relationships with customers and his willingness to start before he was ready were some of the key moments that propelled Everbowl to success. Today, Everbowl Franchise boasts nearly 100 Stores, which were built by his construction company, ‘WeBuild’.

If you've ever felt like a failure, questioned your purpose, or struggled to build genuine relationships in the business world, Jeff's story will inspire you to keep pushing forward. 

Jeff also shares tactical tips on how to cultivate a positive mindset, attract success, and build a thriving network based on generosity and authenticity.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and feel motivated to chase your wildest dreams. Because if Jeff can build a business even without being ready, so can you.
