Football Quarterbacks Run Small Business Plays, Jeff Driskel & Jason Driskel

In this episode of American Operator, we sit down with Jeff and Jason Driskel — brothers, quarterbacks, and now business partners. While Jeff continues his NFL career, Jason has stepped into the full-time operator role as they grow a portfolio of service-based businesses that prioritize freedom, fundamentals, and long-term value. Their first acquisition? An accounting firm. Since then, it’s been all-in on ownership — no venture capital, no gimmicks, just consistent execution and family-driven grit. Here’s what we break down:

  • How Jeff balances entrepreneurship with pro football

  • Why Jason went all-in as a full-time owner/operator

  • How they chose their first business — and what they’ve learned since

  • The dynamics of working with family while building legacy

Whether you're navigating a side hustle, diving into ownership, or building with family — this story will hit home.
