“ "Jakob was such an integral part in the formative stages of opening Spectrum Record Lounge. Having never opened a business before, Jakob laid out a great path for us to follow. In the initial stages, he helped expand on our plan, identify the market, develop a business plan for the bank, and was a great cheerleader for us. I look on those times fondly and I really learned a lot. We will forever appreciate the help we received! ” ”
