“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

- How does Jesse like to reply when people ask, what do you do?
- How did Jesse come to spend $1.8 million to buy the Savannah Bananas in 2016?
- Savannah Banana's 90-year history of professional baseball heritage. How did they take to the showmanship?
- Jesse is ok with and almost seeks out criticism. How does he approach that?
- They sold their house, emptied their savings, slept on air mattresses. At that low point, what kept the relationship tight?
- People crave human interaction. Is a sense of true human interaction diminishing?
- Why do so many companies settle for what's normal? We settle for the status quo.
- The Lion King opens every game. What's the symbolism?
- What's a PFT (perfect fan testimonial)? How do we use a PFT?
- How does the coach bring a high-performance focus to baseball, but additionally an entertainment performance?
- The name of the company is "Fans First." Has Jesse named the company after his mission?
- How does Jesse implement that strategy of point of experience?
- Who is Jesse's alter ego?
- Alter ego is a part of you; it's not all of you. Who is Jesse Cole's alter ego away from the yellow tux?
- What belief system does Jesse switch off, when he puts on his yellow tux?
- Jesse was fearful of publishing his first blog. Why would the ultimate showman fear a blog?
- What doubts does Jesse still have of himself today?
- What's the Ideapoluzza Jesse will use with his team?
- Think time = innovation time. Where is his think time?
- Jesse pays his staff to read books and submit a book report.
- The philosophy Jesse has of "walking through the door."
- You wouldn't believe the mantra!
