Larry Jacobson Keynote at CommonWealth Club, in San Francisco

He will answer questions such as: How were he and his openly gay crew received? Were there problems flying the rainbow flag all the way around the world? How did Jacobson deal with his fears? What scared him the most: pirates, storms, tsunamis or Texans?

You’ll learn more about Jacobson’s method for managing fear, which he developed while at sea. Jacobson will also be signing his award-winning memoir, an Amazon No. 1 best seller, The Boy Behind the Gate.
