Meet Tobias Jacob

We recently connected with Tobias Jacob and have shared our conversation below.

Tobias, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from long periods of trial and error and understanding the reward that comes from times of tribulation. I think after many failed and successful projects, ie. photography, film, and curatorial, i’ve grown to expect long timeframes and drawn out collaborative processes. That drawn out grind, is in my opinion, what produces the best work.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I am an artist and curator specializing in photography and film. I also own a gallery and publication brand, HAVEN, which represents both emerging and established artists. My passion lies in creating spaces and platforms to inspire and educate people who hold aspirations to evolve how and why we commune for art.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

The three skillsets and areas of knowledge that impacted me the most… hospitality, photography, and design. These are honestly 3 foundational skillsets that can help you grow any business endeavor.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

Biggest area of improvement for me has without a doubt has been growing in my faith. Growing a deeper relationship with God and scripture has brought a new sense of perspective on what matters most in life, health, family, love, etc. Those will always hold more value before any business and or art endeavors.
