“I think if I’m gonna be remembered some way, it’s for the way I’ve served & helped others.” – Jim Marascio Seven-year-old Jim dreamed big — Notre Dame quarterback, Heisman, NFL Hall of Fame.But he grew up in Augusta, ME, where you chose something steady & respectable. His parents were educators; the path was predictable.So, when it came time for a career, accounting felt “right.”Until he looked around & thought, “I can’t imagine working with these people for the rest of my life!”So, he pivoted — to Computer Science, to late nights, to challenges that made him feel alive.Then came the moment that set his trajectory: the CEO of a global media distributor handed him a mandate & a budget — build the entire digital music platform from scratch.No roadmap. No safety rails. Just overheating servers & a cliff-steep learning curve.Jim didn’t say yes for glory.He said yes because he saw a way to serve — the company, the team, the people who’d never know his name but would rely on his work.That’s still his compass at Equals 11.If stories of leaders who build quietly & serve deeply make you feel alive, connect with him through Equals 11 Jim reminds us of what Albert Schweitzer wrote: “The only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who have sought & found how to serve.”
