WHY CHOOSE FIRE BACK FOR YOUR GROUP?
Jared's unique presentation has inspired thousands of people across the nation.
Many people have reportedly gained insight that helped them break out of their suicidal thoughts and destructive behaviors.
From countless military men and women to numerous high school students - the direct positive impact on audiences has been astounding. The issues that people are battling vary, but the symptoms are often similar - depression, loneliness, hopelessness - leading to compounding challenges to manage & enjoy life.
Jared gives a sincere unfiltered re-telling of his experience and offers practical tools that he uncovered - so the audience can use them to FIRE BACK in their own lives.
I have known Jared Estes since arriving at McConnell AFB in his role as an honorary commander and later as a McConnell supporter and guest speaker. Jared has had a positive impact on the whole base and on me in particular. He is a fine example of a courageous warrior and I believe that his message will have a positive impact on any group or individual who hears it.
Thomas J. Riney, Colonel, USAF
In my fifteen years in education, I have NEVER seen a speaker engage high school students as effectively as Jared did. Jared not only tells his story of how drunk driving changed his life, but he also conveys life-lessons that can be applied to the challenges of others. He has certainly overcome adversity with absolute dignity and has a powerful message to share.
Mary Pat Becker, Teacher/Former Student Council Sponsor, Hesston High School
He has the strongest story of resiliency I’ve ever seen. He was able to tell his story and keep it light despite the truth behind everything. I think it’s good to see someone who has been affected by a DUI, so soldiers can see how selfish it is and how it does not just affect them.

WHAT MAKES JARED STAND OUT FROM OTHER SPEAKERS?
In 2007, Jared realized that speaking is part of his God-assigned purpose - which has ignited a true passion & life mission to share his story with others. His unique offbeat delivery style will leave a truly unforgettable impression on your audience. His witty humorous stories balance out the heavy content, keeping the audience fully engaged - sparking laughter, tears and fuel to FIRE BACK.
