About the Cast, Jason White
Jason White “The Federal Code”
Meet Jason White: a man who uses passion, charisma, and people skills to succeed at business and in his personal life. He is someone who struggled through his youth and turned it around with little more than motivation. Keeping his persona intact, he found being real in the world to be the key to success. Most importantly, he knows how to help others achieve their highest goals. Today, Jason shares that knowledge with anyone looking to learn.
From humble roots with nothing more than a public high school diploma (his Ph.D.), Jason’s initial direction was lacking. He made his way into the Coast Guard, serving for a decade, only leaving to find himself in “menial” jobs. When a good friend brought him in on a federal government contract.
Jason’s interest piqued. In 2008, he began The Federal Code with only one experience working for a contractor and hours invested in YouTube and internet studies about the contracting arena. It took three years of struggling, a complete lack of guidance, and sorting the truth from the lies to jumpstart his company. But once he discovered the secret, his profit boomed. So, what is Jason’s secret? Communication. Active listening. Rapport-building.
Evidently, being himself — fun-loving, joyful, and passionate about living life to its fullest — is what secured Jason’s first contract in 2011. Since then, the Federal government has awarded him more than 250 contracts. As of 2022, his enterprise has over 40 active contracts, 30-plus of which are 5-year investments. For every contract, he forms the perfect connection, establishes a relationship, and fulfills the agreement. Being himself keeps Jason in business, and it now guides others to find their industry success.
In teaching people to excel as federal contractors, Jason breaks seemingly-complex systems into easy-to-follow steps. In fact, his top ability as a teacher is simplifying complicated processes and language for anyone to grasp and use. In doing so, everyone can learn the essence of growth: building relationships with the right people to close the deal. Testimonies from his students rave about the gains of their individual LLCs, including achievements of immediate contract work, security of million-dollar-plus contracts, and entrance into an elite business circle.
Though his background has a wide range within federal contracting, his future is filled with even greater opportunities to motivate anyone to achieve anything to which they set their mind. He firmly believes in the notion of “winners don’t quit,” and he does not quit on his students. Throughout his career, Jason has educated people from all career paths and education levels to achieve the same success he has. On a foundational level, he enables students to seek the best fitting hustle for their skill sets. He reminds them to rely on common sense: using good communication and active listening to build powerful relationships. Ultimately, Jason White is a doer. He is a motivator. He is the key that unlocks top-notch education, guidance, and support in writing your own success story."

About the Cast, Evelyn Laporte
From Limitation to Liberation:
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I was nineteen years old when as a young dreamer I came to New York City with aspirations of becoming a flight attendant. Spanish was the only language I knew. Unable to communicate in English during the interviews, I was rejected. Heartbroken, I enrolled in college to learn the language and pursue my
dream.
College became a battleground where I was confronted with many challenges. I had to juggle the demanding life of a full time student at night and a full time job by day. I also endured financial hardships. There were times I was unemployed, on public assistance and on food stamps to make ends meet.
While determined to conquer the language my dream collided with the harsh reality of my language deficiency. Attending classes felt more like I was trying to resolve a puzzle with many of the pieces missing. I didn't understand the course's material, the textbooks, nor the professor's lectures. Often I was unable to complete my class assignments or the exams. I failed many of my courses again and again. I was frustrated, fearful and felt useless. I became isolated, withdrawn and depressed. Due to my poor academic performance I was almost kicked out of college and placed on academic probation for a semester. These events increased my fears of not being able to learn English and fulfilled my dream. I was embarrassed, I felt stupid and hopeless. Fear and doubts took over my life and became my best friends. A millionnegative ideas ran free through my mind. The thought of giving up became more and more apparent. But in all the chaos, I never found the courage to give up. I kept studying and practicing the language.I read newspapers, magazines, children's books, watched cartoons, Sesame Street and the Electric Company to add to my progress.
Speaking English in public was another challenge. Growing up as a child I was very shy. Speaking another language I was barely familiar with made me even more shy. I didn't want to speak for fear that people would laugh at me or make fun of me. When I finally decided to start speaking in English I was soon embarrassed and humiliated by some family and friends. Doubts and fears became stronger. Ultimately I didn't believe in myself. I suffered from these emotions for many years.
After seven years of ups and downs, I received a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Criminal Justice. That was a big reason for me to feel a little better about myself. While still struggling with the English language, I went to law school and became an attorney. I practice in Family Court, Landlord and Tenant Court and as an Assistant District Attorney I prosecuted cases of domestic abuse and sex crimes. Subsequently, I was elected a Civil Court Judge presiding over criminal misdemeanor cases. Later I was elected Justice to the New York State Supreme Court presiding over felony cases: Murder, Gang Assault, Assault, Robbery, Sex Crimes, and Drug Conspiracy cases to mention only a few. After eighteen years on the bench I recently retired.
Today I am a Confidence Coach, a Public Speaker, and a Motivational Speaker dedicated to empower and inspire others to chase after their dreams relentlessly and overcome their own fears and doubts. No obstacle is high enough I cannot climb and no dream is big enough for me not to go after.
Limitations are only in your mind."
