The SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) has named Jacob Sauls, marketing director at EliteTruck.com, as the network's newest spotlight member.
Get to know Sauls in his interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Jacob Sauls: Life's a dance, you learn as you go! The best way to gain confidence is through experience. Don't be afraid to jump in and try something new, even if you feel underprepared for it. Taking this to heart has helped me take initiative in situations inside and outside of my job instead of standing on the sidelines as an opportunity passes by.
SN: What keeps you in the industry?
JS: The automotive industry is such a dynamic and robust portion of the global economy. Whether dealing with commercial fleet applications or end-user personalization, vehicles have become such an important part of everyday life and will only continue to grow and thrive.
SN: Where can you be found on a Saturday?
JS: Somewhere outside enjoying nature!
SN: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
JS: I typically review previous conversations with whomever I'm meeting with, do some research on the topic at hand and jot down important aspects to make sure they're not lost in conversation.
SN: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
JS: Dale Earnhardt Sr. My family was huge into NASCAR growing up, and while I'm too young to remember Dale Sr., his lasting legacy on NASCAR and racing as a whole is extremely impressive and I would love to talk to him about his passion for the sport.
