In what was Jason's most challenging physical adventure, he and 9 other friends made the 70-mile round-trip trek up Africa's highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro. Told that it was a "walk up," Jason had little idea of the difficulties that half the oxygen and freezing temperatures present to a complete novice to hiking.
And yet, it was one of the most important accomplishments of his life -- where he truly learned that any task is accomplished only one step at a time, and that persistence is truly the one key to any results.
Entrepreneur Magazine -- then one of the largest publications in the United States -- featured Jason in an article on "risk" starting on page 5 of the magazine.
