Do you believe your voice could change your life—and the world around you? In this episode of Seek Your Summit, Jenn Drummond sits down with Jess Ekstrom, founder of Mic Drop Workshop and Headbands of Hope, to explore how women can build confidence, speak with clarity, and share their message with impact.


From scaling a college-born headband company to becoming a sought-after keynote speaker and educator, Jess shares how delusional optimism fueled her entrepreneurial journey—and how you can build your own confidence one mic drop at a time.

✅ How public speaking can grow your business, your brand, and your influence
