Jess also worked as a lawyer for Marvel Studios and Disney, negotiating major entertainment deals.
An Ivy League-trained lawyer, Jess has counseled and represented companies and individuals in-house and in litigation matters, including cases up to the United States Supreme Court.

In 2024, Jess launched The Legal Athlete to pursue her greatest passion: helping legal professionals adopt a growth mindset, unlock their potential, and lead more purposeful, joyful lives.
THE I.E. Approach
In legal writing, we use the abbreviation "i.e." to clarify a point and ensure that our communication is specific and focused. The Intrepidation Enterprises ("I.E.") approach to high performance helps others define their boldest stretch goals, and then to identify the smaller, achievable goals that will put them on right path to making those stretch goals a reality. This focus on dedicated, incremental growth, coupled with a spirit of adventure, determination, and positivity, is the core of all I.E. strategies and the daily planner tool.
