Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Make Unplugged. And today we have an extraordinary guest who is the founder of Encore Search Partners, Houston's largest privately held executive search firm. Under his leadership, the company has been recognized as one of Houston's fastest 50, I'm sorry, has been recognized as Houston's fastest 50 companies for five consecutive years.
Yeah.
But please join me in welcoming the innovative, the driven, the accomplished, the man who now has to go get new taillights, Mr. Jeremy Jensen. Jeremy, how are you doing today, brother? Excellent, man. I'm doing well. Good morning. So you got to tell me, bro, like you just told me you had your taillight stolen at 3 a.m. What kind of freaking taillights do you have that people just want to go get?
Well, now I don't want to tell everybody because apparently there's a great black market for them. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, so, so I've got two cars that I park in my little circle driveway, right in front of my house, the fancy cars in the garage. Uh, but I've got a BMW M8 competition. I've got a Ford Raptor and, uh, somebody just came and just ganked the, the, the taillights off the Ford Raptor at 3 AM.
And so we caught him on camera. But, you know, that's one of those things where we might just chalk it up to the game.
Chalk it up to the game. You know, with my insurance background, I literally have like 40 insurance agents in Houston right now that are just looking up to see if you're their client. So we have to be. Yeah, yeah. Man, so Jeremy, very honored to have you on, man. Like, it's not every day that we get to talk to one of the moguls in the executive search game, man.
