He is recognized not only as the region's premiere champion for fostering a stronger startup and small business community, but has also embraced and become the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit. As an active member of all regional Chambers of Commerce in the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada area, he is one of the region's best known entrepreneurial networkers. Jarrod is an in-demand speaker and consultant who offers inspiration (and practical) knowledge to help others achieve their dream of entrepreneurship. He has been featured in dozens of television, video and audio segments, as well as having articles published in newspapers, magazines and on-line forums promoting and motivating the entrepreneur community. He regularly hosts workshops and seminars for students, startups, small business and community groups on the value of developing lasting professional relationships. Jarrod's passion for music, organizational abilities, public relation and leadership skills make for a perfect combination in creating not only Sax Appeal (Canada's Premier Saxophone Ensemble), but also eSAX (The Entrepreneur Social Advantage Experience); an entrepreneur networking community for #smallbusiness to create connections, gain knowledge and promote collaboration among regional Chambers of Commerce. #eSAX events are held every 3 months (January, April, July and October) originally to coincide with the Ontario Self-Employment Benefits Program. Jarrod is an extremely enthusiastic and dedicated communications professional. http://JarrodGoldsmith.ca
