Jacob McGill's bio

Jacob McGill builds systems for a living

His business DNA was imprinted with the commitment to solve problems and create lasting solutions. The inspiration for his first business was born out of necessity. When Jacob came out of the ICU he was in a coma. When he woke up, he was given a 100% chance of living a limited life, this wasn’t good enough… It had to be great.

Since then, Jacob has focused on a purpose-driven existence.

After he designed and ran a clinical rehabilitation practice with a nearly 100% success rate, Jacob shut it down temporarily and started a heart-based digital marketing agency. He is now running both online for over a decade.

In the last 8 years, Jacob has worked from a Chromebook on 4 continents, in 29 countries, 134 cities and 96 airports. 

In the past 6 years Jacob has grown his portfolio to 4 companies while maintaining his about 20 hours of work per week. He continues to ski an average of 50 days a season and spends an equal number of days paddling and hiking in the mountains.
