Hi, I’m Jeff Hilimire. Father of five, CEO of Dragon Army, author of The 5-Day Turnaround and The Crisis Turnaround, and co-founder of 48in48, Ripples of Hope, and The A Pledge.
My purpose is to have an out-sized, positive impact on the world. Reach out if you want to help me with that!
Find me on Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
But the best way to keep up with me is to sign up for my weekly email newsletter👇🏼
My two books, The 5-Day Turnaround and The Crisis Turnround, were written to help leaders embrace the habits of the world's most successful startup CEOs, and to learn to lead through a crisis, respectively. Whether you're a team lead at a non-startup, the CEO of a small company, or anywhere in between, these books will help you become the leader you always wanted to be!

Obstacles are my allies
By Jeff Hilimire |
Twelve months of a global pandemic. Remember when we thought we might have to work from home for 4-5 weeks, and how crazy that seemed?

30+ favorite books of my podcast guests
By Jeff Hilimire |
I’m a big reader. But truth be told, I haven’t always been. Around 2015 I got the bug, and ever since then I’ve read at least 30 books per year. I like to hold actual books in my hand, read on my Kindle, or listen to audiobooks through my phone. (But not all at once, I’m…

From Spunlogic, to Dragon Army, 48in48, Ripples of Hope, and The A Pledge, and even from things you likely never heard of because, well, they failed (MATCH, HomeGrown, and yes, SportsBro 🤦🏻♂️). So I like to start things, is the gist. In all cases, and as they should, those ideas started…

You’re not being strategic until you say no
By Jeff Hilimire |
So we made it to February. Who’s with me on just pretending that this is the start of the new year? :) In my last update, I shared one of the best days I’ve had in a long time, and a major part of that was Frank Fernandez (CEO of the Community Foundation) speaking to the Ripples cohort. The thing that…
