Too many students feel pressure to choose the “right” path before they’ve had the chance to discover what actually lights them up.

In Behind the Mask, Jeremy steps out from behind the character to share one of the most difficult mistakes of his career and the deeply personal struggles that followed. With humor, vulnerability, and stories from a life spent making other people smile, he shows students why a mistake does not have to define their story, why asking for help is a strength, and why noticing the people around us can matter more than we realize.
Students leave with practical ways to navigate setbacks, identify the people they can turn to, and understand that behind every mask is a person who wants to be seen, valued, and supported.
