Business Leaders of America Podcast Featuring Jack Oujo Founder, Oujo Wealth Strategies Episode Overview In this episode of the Business Leaders of America Podcast, we sit down with Jack Oujo, author of Too Smart to Be an Umpire and founder of Oujo Wealth Strategies. Jack’s story is one of true reinvention. After spending nearly a decade working his way through professional baseball and reaching Triple-A, just one step away from the Major Leagues, his career as an umpire came to an abrupt end. Faced with starting over in his early 30s, with a growing family and limited financial resources, Jack made the decision to rebuild from the ground up. What followed was a remarkable journey. Through discipline, education, and a relentless commitment to doing things the right way, Jack built a multi-million-dollar financial advisory firm managing hundreds of millions in assets. In this conversation, Jack shares what it really looks like to start over, from recognizing and confronting adversity head-on to rebuilding confidence and creating a clear path forward. He breaks down the importance of having a plan grounded in math, why taking ownership of your future is non-negotiable, and how lessons from professional sports, like preparation, resilience, and handling pressure, translate directly into business success. From building a business with no clients and negative net worth to becoming one of the top-producing advisors in the country, this episode is a powerful look at resilience, discipline, and redefining success when life doesn’t go according to plan.
