How's it going? My name is Terry Jensen, it's a pleasure to fraternize.
I am a married, 40-something-year-old man with 2 teenage boys (1 in college, 1 in high school at the time of this post). I am a business owner, marketer, and long time basketball coach who is always up for a business-based bullshit session around a fire pit with good friends and cold Coors Light.
Basketball is metaphor for life in my humble opinion, and it has been a sense of inspiration and motivation for me since I was 10 years old. I play, coach, and quite simply love the game. You might have guessed, my boys play too. My oldest son has even starting coaching too. The game is in our blood. Oh ya, my wife was a basketball cheerleader in high school when we met.
Currently, I am in Year 1 of launching my latest venture... BridgeHouse Marketing. Although at the time of this post, I still hold a full time sales and marketing manager position with an up-and-coming manufacturer. But as a coach in the general sense of the word, my real passion is helping people succeed. Whether it's shooting 90% from the free throw line or increasing month-over-month revenue by 90%, I still get the same adrenaline rush from making it happen.
Before I wrap up, here's my crazy-a$$ real story about self-education...
I've always been self-motivated. But I was never a book reader, more of an Internet savant. In February of 2015, out of the blue, I got really sick. Some sort of flu thing, felt like death really. It damn near killed me, 7 straight days of high fevers, relentless coughing, and zero sleep because I could only doze off sitting upright. Then, finally, it broke. I was weak for a few more days, but bounced back. Suddenly however, I had a profound thirst for reading. I bought books, then I bought more books, and I read every chance I could get. In 8 months, I read 52 books on topics such as investing, marketing, iconic biographies, SEO, accounting, mindfulness, and history. It changed my life, in more ways than one. I found some internal peace, my blood pressure lowered, and I looked at teaching, learning, and life in a whole new brilliant light. The point is, who knows why things happen? At the end of the day, you just have to make things happen. So, here I am.
