info_outlineGet ready to be inspired. This is the story of an incredible woman who found out that life wasn't always fair or happy after she was viciously attacked by a stranger, stabbed more than 37 times, and left for dead. After being stitched back together she decided she would not give up or give in and pushed forward with all of her enthusiasm and will to have the best life ever. She decided to surround herself with joyful people and celebrations so she started an event planning company in 1994.
Jennifer Gilbert is the founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Save the Date, a $30 million event planning company she built starting at age 24 after being brutally attacked and left for dead.
She is the author of "I Never Promised You A Goodie Bag," her memoir which details her story to reclaim her life after and to go on and create tremendous success.
I laughed, cried, and felt inspired and empowered watching her on TEDx and the video interview with Joe De Sena on the SpartanUp! podcast series.
