Jacob Brown’s journey from the rigorous NFL fields to international stages is nothing short of inspiring.
After going through 20 years of his adult life failing and scraping himself off the pavement, he now helps others understand that failure isn’t the end – it’s fuel.
From failing out of college, to failed businesses and jobs, to a failed marriage, to living homeless, Jacob has finally figured out that life isn’t about how many times you fall, but how many times you get up.
Today, as a seasoned entrepreneur he stands as a testament to the power of resilience. Beyond his athletic achievements, Jacob co-founded Varlo – a premier brand specializing in cycling and triathlon apparel.
His mission is simple – Fail Forward.

Join presenter Allison Cobb to learn how wellness programs impact the overall wellbeing of your employees! Wellness can be available to companies of all sizes, it doesn’t have to take deep pockets and countless hours to show your employees how much you value them… you might even learn a trick or two to make wellness fun and inspire your employees to work on their overall health and wellbeing.
Stop by these exhibit booths to discover new opportunities and products for your business! There will be a wide array of exhibitors, and plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy the show floor.
Grab a cup of coffee and stop by the lounge to catch up with friends or make new acquaintances. There will be ample time throughout the time to connect with your peers.
