When His Career As An Umpire Struck Out, Jack Oujo Reinvented Himself Building One of America's Largest Tax-Focused Wealth Management Firms

Starting over at age 30 with a pregnant wife, no money, and a shattered career dream could have broken Jack Oujo. Instead, it became the unlikely foundation for building one of America's largest tax-focused wealth management firms.

Jack, founder of Oujo Wealth Strategies, relied on discipline, preparation, and relentless self-education to reinvent himself.

Successful leaders, as he learned from personal experience, need a "Plan B" for when things don't go as planned. He also explains why consistent processes often matter more than lofty goals — and why trust and customer service became the cornerstone of his business philosophy.

Before entering wealth management, Jack spent eight years as a professional baseball umpire. As he notes, however, unlike ballplayers, most people don't get three strikes when it comes to managing their finances.
