"So you want to be a millionaire? Future Proofing You identifies the obstacles that stand in the way of success and provides a step-by-step guide for unlocking opportunity in the digital economy." --Dawn Chmielewski, Senior Editor, Forbes

He not only writes about them simply and with crystal clear clarity but, as evidenced by his life and those that follow his advice, continues to demonstrate them, again and again by living them." --Pam Sansbury, Alliance Enablement Director, KPMG

"The Disruptor is back! I watched this story playing out in real time as Jay's mentee Vin took the city like a dark horse, rising from welfare in the UK to the inner circle of LA entrepreneurship in a very short time. That alone was impressive. What's more impressive is Jay's framework for helping Vin get there -- and the distillation of that process into this very accessible book. Future Proving You reveals a powerful framework for navigating both the potential -- and the pitfalls -- of the very complex times we are all living in. Whether your goal is to be a millionaire entrepreneur or simply the best version of yourself, this book is a fresh approach rooted in real results and timeless principles."
