Hi. I'm Jason.
My wife and I live near Nashville, TN. Our seven kids consider me to be an expert pancake and popcorn maker, although they highly question my dad joke expertise.
I believe my purpose is to motivate teams to engage and equip people for life-giving purpose together.
Over the years, I've been affirmed as a strategist, communicator, creative, equipper, coach, writer, futurist, starter, multiplier, connector, team-builder, and educator. I've helped start and multiply non-profits, churches, businesses, networks, and leadership residencies.
I have been published as a songwriter, author, poet, ghost-writer, copywriter, and PR specialist (some examples below). I have spoken in front of crowds as large as 5000 and as small as 5. I've also led creative teams to produce multiple forms of content.
I currently serve as VP of Advancement for LOVE JUSTICE International. Since 2006, LJI has prevented more than 75,000 individuals in 31 countries from becoming victims of modern day slavery, intercepting them BEFORE they reach their final destination -- sex slavery, forced labor, or worse.



ENDORSEMENTS:

Jason is a very pragmatic content writer, approaching each task with the mindset of the target reader, whether that be a beginner or expert in the given subject. Working with Jason on a variety of subjects, I was able to learn a ton about building narratives and how to learn new concepts on the fly when necessary. He’s really great at pivoting quickly, managing expectations, and can turn things around quickly.

-Feroz Lakhani | Marketing Lead for ANKR

In Jason, we find a sage whose empathy guides his wisdom. He harmonizes a profound dedication to education with the ever-advancing frontiers of technology. From marketing to copywriting and technology, he's a trailblazer, a visionary leader shaping innovation and change.

-Lee Steffen | Founder of SteffenStudio.com
For the first time in my life, I actually get that I was created to love and serve others. Jason’s speaking and writing taught me that.

-Julie Young | former CEO of Florida Virtual School
Jason Dukes is a true servant who leads with love and humility. I have known Jason to be a man of integrity, insight, and wisdom. He is gifted with the ability to discover and call people to live from their true selves while living beyond themselves.

-Dr. Fady Al-Hagal | Exec. Dir. of the International Leadership Coalition
