Meet our keynote speaker, GOTR Alum Jess Ekstrom!

Her first brush with success was selling all of her toys on eBay when she was twelve. Since then, Jess and her company have been featured on Today and Good Morning America and in Seventeen, Vanity Fair, Forbes, and People. More importantly, they have donated millions of headbands reaching every children's hospital in the United States and in 22 countries.
