Redefining Entrepreneurial Success with Jeff Hoffman

Jeff Hoffman is an award-winning entrepreneur, the CEO of several startups including Priceline and Booking.com, a motivational speaker and producer. Jeff is best known for his many business achievements, but his most impactful work is done as CEO of Driving Force Enterprises, performing philanthropic work worldwide. After years of achieving commercial success, Jeff felt ready to leave the hustle and grind behind in favor of using the skills and resources he had accumulated to give back. He now travels worldwide teaching innovation strategies to small businesses and entrepreneurs. He is also a frequent keynote speaker and a featured business expert in publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Forbes.

On today’s show, Jeff shares how he went from growing up with a single mom to becoming the mastermind entrepreneur behind many successful startups. He shares stories of encounters he’s had over the years that influenced his mindset and inspired him to start giving back. Jeff offers some advice about entrepreneurship and how to be successful without sacrificing your happiness and relationships. We also discuss how traveling and working worldwide led him to realize that people everywhere want the same things and inspired him to be a catalyst for change in small and underserved communities.
