Jeff Nahom
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
The Great American Comeback Foundation, Inc.
Jeff Nahom is an entrepreneur and travel industry executive with more than two decades of experience spanning travel, sales, marketing, finance, hospitality, business development and experiential events.
Jeff is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Great American Comeback Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization he created with a vision of building lasting legacies for legendary champions while providing mentorship, financial literacy, entrepreneurship education and real world life skills to the next generation.
A Vision for Lasting Legacies
As Founder of the Great American Comeback Foundation, Jeff’s vision is to establish Youth & Comeback Centers across the United States, many carrying the names and legacies of legendary boxing champions.
Jeff believes that the years these champions dedicated to their sport can become the foundation for something that extends far beyond their accomplishments in the ring. Many of these legends have a genuine desire to give back, mentor young people and use the platform boxing gave them to positively influence future generations.
The Foundation’s goal is to help make that possible, allowing their legacies to live on not simply through championship belts and historic fights, but through the lives of young people they help inspire.
Preparing Young People for Life
Jeff’s vision for the Youth & Comeback Centers extends well beyond the traditional youth center model. Sports, recreation, fitness, teamwork and mentorship will be important parts of the experience, but Jeff believes young people also need practical knowledge that prepares them for the financial and professional realities of adulthood.
A major emphasis will therefore be placed on financial literacy, entrepreneurship and real world business education.
Young people will learn about personal finance, credit, saving, investing, taxes and how businesses actually operate. They will be introduced to entrepreneurship and learn what it means to form an LLC, develop a business plan, understand revenue and expenses, market a product or service, raise capital and ultimately turn an idea into an operating business.
