THIS WEEK'S EPISODE


From a modest upbringing in Gujarat, India, Neil Jesani has charted an extraordinary path to success as an entrepreneur and tax expert in the United States. Neil joins us to recount his inspiring journey from working in a New York City tax firm to launching successful ventures in HR software and cybersecurity. His story illustrates how unpredictability and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit can guide one to unexpected achievements, culminating in his leadership of a thriving tax and accounting firm in Florida. Mentorship and continuous learning are the cornerstones of Neil's and my professional growth. We talk about how a challenge to read "Think and Grow Rich" ignited my passion for consuming up to 50 books a year and shaped our business philosophies. The conversation delves into how small actions during an interview can reveal character, and how our reading habits have evolved to include audiobooks and podcasts. Foundational literature remains a guiding light in our hiring and business strategies. We also explore the intricacies of tax planning for business owners and the impact of AI on the future of work. Neil shares advanced tax-saving strategies for high-income earners and discusses the potential of AI to transform the job market. While some fear AI's impact on low-end jobs, we express optimism about America's future, emphasizing the importance of skill acquisition and adaptability. Our discussion highlights the resilience of Americans and the promise of AI-driven advancements in manufacturing, aligned with the themes of my upcoming book, "Escaping the Drift," set to launch on November 11th.
