047 | Put Yourself In The Place Of The Man At The Forge

Jacob and I have known each other for a few years, first meeting in the earliest days of the forming of Merchant23. Jacob keeps growing the business but is now taking the lessons from Merchant23 developing them and turning them into new businesses.

About Jacob

If you are a business and struggling with how to engage with people in your customer base - it might well be that Jacob is your solution.

Empathy, connecting with humanity, feeling the energy, putting yourself into the shoes of your customer - these are phrases Jacob uses in his natural conversation. These aren’t glib buzz words - this is who Jacob is … and with him, his customers are in turn taken on their journeys to better engage with their customers.

People First - All Else Follows
You might be a leader in a large corporation, fresh into the workforce or with 30 years under your belt. Or maybe you are a small business owner or entrepreneur. Whichever it is … you are good at what you do. You feel safe, but keep wondering how long you have before what you do is automated, outsourced, off-shored, replaced or just made obsolete. It will happen. Nothing stands still! Your options are to stay the course, leave for another opportunity or do your own thing. All of them require transformation.
I worked in Silicon Valley for over 30 years. You only succeed in that environment by continual transformation. Through conversation and interviews, I will share lessons, stories and case studies that will help you understand how real people at work and play balance priorities every day to make a living and provide the best life possible for themselves and those around them all there while with an eye on the future.
At the very least I am going to make you think.
