“Anything Is Possible”
Nine years ago, before the office opened, I'd go for a walk at 4:30am each morning. I called it my "gratitude walk" and it was my absolute favorite part of the day.
During these walks, one thought kept coming back: We are standing on a huge rock, spinning at 1,000 miles per hour, orbiting a giant fireball. And we all just live here, like it’s nothing.
But it's not nothing. It's a miracle happening under our feet every single moment of every single day that most people never notice.
If that’s possible … then what else is possible that we’ve talked ourselves out of?
That question became my answer. There are no limits to what’s possible. Only limits to what we believe is possible.

My name is Garrett Jacks. I’m a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (class of 2009) and former Nuclear Submarine Officer. Between 2011 and 2014, I participated in 3 deployments vital to national security, where I led multiple technical operations and engineering teams in high-stress, dynamic environments.
After my military service, I walked into a real estate startup as its first hire — three people, $800K in annual revenue. Over the next four years, I helped grow that company to 30 employees and $6M in yearly revenue, building the business systems and processes that made the scaling possible. Along the way, I wore whatever hat the business needed — leading sales and business operations teams, managing talent acquisition and HR, and stepping in to run the finances as the company’s de facto CFO.
For the last several years, I’ve worked in military-to-corporate recruiting, personally placing over 400 military leaders into corporate positions.

Operation BZ exists to put what I’ve learned — in leadership, in scaling teams, in translating military experience into corporate impact — in front of more leaders than a recruiting desk ever could.

There is a leadership crisis. Not because great leaders don't exist, but because most leaders aren't totally clear — about their values, their purpose, their duty, their people, and their non-negotiables.
Just as some people are born with innate athletic abilities, some are born with leadership "potential." There's no denying it. But NOBODY is born a great leader. Great leadership is earned through daily study, deliberate practice, and real application. It is cultivated through responsibility, sharpened through reflection, and proven when the stakes are real.
We believe that leaders who get clear on what matters are leaders worth following.
At the root of our beliefs is this: anything is possible with great leadership.
There isn't a ceiling to great leadership. Refusing to stay average isn't a slogan. It's a decision made daily.
Operation BZ exists to give leaders the clarity to build a higher standard.
