Episode Description

Jacob Turner was one of the highest paid draft picks in MLB history, making appearances with the Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals, and more. His experience of accumulating sudden wealth was complex. He was successful by all measures, but his career ended shorter than he would of liked. This was key to Jacob developing his foundation as a financial advisor, as he is now the Founding Partner at JLS Wealth, helping 7-8 figure clients manage the complexities of their financial needs. We chat about the financial pillars Jacob takes his clients through, the complexities of working with ultra high net-worth individuals, and the differences of lifestyle spending in an MLB clubhouse.
