Quote: “What’s important early on is that you find someone who believes in you. And that’s the piece you filled for me.” Jacob Green

Most speakers start with a list of “to-dos,” but the truly wealthy speakers start with a vision. You have to know exactly what you want your business and your life to look like before you can build it. On this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome back my former client, Jacob Green. Jacob is a fantastic example of what happens when you get clear on what you want and put the right systems in place to make it happen. We’re diving deep into his journey and sharing actionable strategies to help you bring your own vision to fruition. 

Jacob is a nationally recognized local government expert in organization and leadership development. As an Assistant City Manager for the City of San Juan Capistrano and the City of Ontario, he has managed hundreds of employees and numerous government departments. As a trainer, keynote speaker, facilitator, and coach, Jacob has worked with municipal and commercial clients, including Mattel, FedEx, Hyundai Capital, ADP, and many others. In 2019, Jacob distilled his personal and professional experiences into an Amazon best-selling book: See Change Clearly: Leveraging Adversity to Sharpen Your Vision and Build Resilient Teams.
