Founder + Executive Director

Jacob venditti


Is a social impact entrepreneur, community builder, multimedia producer, keynote speaker, big wave surfer, and passionate advocate for the cystic fibrosis community. He himself has CF and was once on a lung transplant list with only 15% lung function. Since taking Trikafta, he was removed from this list, has experienced only one pulmonary exacerbation in 3 years, and now has 50% lung function.

After this major improvement in his health, he now funnels his energy into his position as the founder and executive director of the Live Fearlessly Foundation.

Jacob prides himself on living a life filled with kindness, passion, and gratitude. He understands that every day is a gift, and shares that message to encourage others to live fearlessly. Jacob believes that challenge can be used as a tool to foster growth, and brings humor and joy to any situation - no matter the circumstance. He feels fortunate to be able to give back and make the world a better place.
