Podcast appearances and mentions of ryan jacob

In this episode, Mike Crandall sits down with Ryan Jacob, President of GRA Services, about succeeding on the road to senior leadership using Sandler's Success Triangle: Attitude, Behavior, and Technique. Ryan describes developing optimism, curiosity, and emotional discipline; practicing consistent follow-through and data-driven processes; and applying Sandler's techniques like Up-Front Contracts and Reversing—first as a sales student and contributor, then as a Leader. As President, Ryan reframes these tools internally to sell change, align expectations, reduce defensiveness, and build trust, emphasizing that teams feel leadership's emotions and follow consistent actions. He highlights GRA Services' rapid growth supporting utility infrastructure with a pole-setting foam product, and credits the Sandler communities' shared language for accelerating execution and decision-making. Core takeaways from this episode: Maintain an "Abundance Mindset" with emotional discipline. Model consistent behaviors to shape culture. And use clear Up-Front Contracts to eliminate confusion and resentment.   Chapter 1: Opening and Podcast Framework 00:00:02 – 00:00:39 Dave Matson introduces the "How to Succeed" podcast and its focus on the Success Triangle: attitudes, behaviors, and techniques.

Chapter 4: Attitude Foundations as a Sales Student 00:02:59 – 00:05:27 Ryan emphasizes embracing struggle, maintaining optimism, and staying calm and curious.

Chapter 5: Behaviors that Create Opportunity 00:05:27 – 00:07:05 Consistency and follow-through become Ryan's standout behaviors, often winning opportunities others missed. He recounts showing up, honoring commitments, and leveraging initiative to access professional circles despite student constraints. Chapter 6: Techniques that Accelerate Early Success 00:07:05 – 00:09:19 Key techniques include strong upfront contracts, reversing and negative reversing to deepen discovery, and sorting versus selling. Ryan stresses asking hard questions calmly and iterating relentlessly to internalize and scale effective methods. Chapter 7: Attitude as a Top Individual Contributor 00:09:19 – 00:11:28 Curiosity lowers defensiveness and fosters honest conversations, contrasted with pushy selling stereotypes. He underscores the importance of "not needing the sale" to avoid "commission breath," particularly when pipeline is thin. Chapter 8: High-Value Behaviors in Sales Execution 00:11:28 – 00:13:21 Ryan details embracing discomfort, intelligent prospecting, and a repeatable system mindset. He uses data-driven reflection to refine processes, evaluate outcomes, and adapt continuously to improve win rates. Chapter 9: Techniques for Complex, Long Cycles 00:13:21 – 00:14:51 Professional sorting becomes critical in long enterprise cycles, building relationships far ahead of renewal or change windows.

He outlines the company's 1994 origins, rapid scaling, automation plans, and facility expansion. Chapter 11: Leadership Attitude Under Pressure 00:17:18 – 00:18:59 Leadership amplifies BAT principles: actions over words, leading by example, and using action to drive emotion. Responsibility for livelihoods raises the stakes for mindset discipline and consistency. Chapter 12: Selling Change Internally 00:18:59 – 00:21:12 Ryan discusses projecting steady, positive energy as teams feel leadership's emotions. He uses upfront contracts and curiosity to lower defensiveness, invite collaboration, and co-create change with long-tenured staff wary of disruption. Chapter 13: Behavior Consistency Builds Trust 00:21:12 – 00:23:16 Doing what you say you'll do establishes credibility across the organization. Ryan highlights modeling small actions, like picking up trash, to signal standards and align culture amid rapid transformation. Chapter 14: Leadership Techniques for Clarity and Accountability 00:23:16 – 00:25:58 Upfront contracts shift from sales to internal alignment, clarifying goals, timelines, and expectations to reduce confusion and resentment. Structure makes hard conversations fairer and more consistent, while reversing elicits candid input from those closest to the work. Chapter 15: Community, Faith, and the Power of a Shared Language 00:25:58 – 00:31:08 Ryan shares how faith, patience, and unforeseen succession accelerated his leadership path. He leveraged the Sandler community for trusted expertise, enabling faster decisions and execution by "cutting through the fluff" with a common framework. Chapter 16: Final Insights on BAT for Senior Leadership 00:31:08 – 00:37:08 Ryan's closing guidance: cultivate emotional discipline and an abundance mindset (attitude), recognize that culture mirrors leadership habits and consistency (behavior), and use clear upfront contracts to set expectations and reduce confusion (technique).

Ryan & Jacob discuss the Yankees' rotation and preview if this group can dominate in 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Phillip Wool, chief research officer and lead portfolio manager, Rayliant Global Advisors, says "there are places where valuations are so stretched I find it hard to explain," but he notes that is more in certain sectors and certain themes, but he says the global economy is in a good place, which makes him optimistic about the future for stocks, just cautious about how much investors should set expectations. He notes that when valuations get this stretched, future returns tend to be muted. He also discusses why he believes there is still time for investors who have missed the foreign stock rally this year to get involved. "This is not something that has played out," he said, "there's still room for this international outperformance to continue." Ryan Jacob, chief investment officer of the Jacob Funds — who was the first portfolio manager of an Internet fund when they first emerged in the 1990s — talks stocks in the Market Call, but also focuses on the similarities between the artificial intelligence boom that's powering the markets today and the Internet bubble that ended so badly with a market crash in 2000. Plus, Chuck remembers longtime Wall Street Journal columnist and personal finance educator Jonathan Clements of HumbleDollar.com, who passed away over the weekend after a battle with lung cancer. Clements — a long-time contemporary of Chuck's in the personal finance journalism world — was last on the show one year ago today, discussing his diagnosis and leaving behind lasting lessons.

Frank Holmes, chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors, sees the market as being due for a big correction after an "amazing move" over the last two years, but he also sees the market beginning a new era of capital innovation and creativity that will help to push the market back to new heights over the next few years. He notes that artificial intelligence will keep leading the way higher, though he says he typically prefers the AI-adjacent companies to the direct players in the space. He also discusses gold, crypto and more in a wide-ranging Big Interview. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, looks to double down on the winners of the Nasdaq Composite with his pick for ETF of the Week, and Peter Schneider, president of Primerica, discusses the firm's latest Financial Security Monitor, which showed that recent gains in purchasing power don't have middle-income families feeling any better about their personal finances. In the Market Call, Ryan Jacob, chief investment officer of the Jacob Funds, talks technology stocks and where the next round of AI winners might come from.

Lyle Fitterer, portfolio manager for the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond fund, says that investors should take the Federal Reserve at its word, expecting interest rates to have peaked, anticipate a cut but don't expect it to happen until the numbers warrant it. That may not happen until late in the year or into 2025. Meanwhile, he notes investors are getting strong returns -- particularly in muni bond funds where there are additional tax benefits from investing -- though not getting paid to take on extra credit risk, even though defaults and delinquencies haven't gone up dramatically with rates staying higher for longer. Also on the show, Ted Rossman discusses the latest Bankrate.com survey showing that Americans aren't just planning to go far and wide this summer, they're planning to go into debt to get there;  Chuck goes "Off The News" with the Department of Labor's release of new fiduciary guidelines for investment managers, and Ryan Jacob, chief investment officer of the Jacob Funds talks small-cap technology in the Market Call.

Nigam Arora, editor of The Arora Report says that there's a disconnect between the messages being sent by market and economic fundamentals and technicals, with the technical indicators turning bullish despite longer-term economic data sending bearish signs. As a result, Arora says investors should expect significant volatility and should put more money into the short-term technicals to take advantage of the back-and-forth even as they become more conservative in their long-term investments. Michele Schneider, director of trading education and research at MarketGauge.com, echoed Arora's take on improving technicals, noting that until something changes in those indicators, 'We rally to resistance.' Also on the show, Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate.com, discusses the site's research into the record percentage of Americans who say they can't afford to pay a $1,000 emergency bill without going into debt. In the Market Call, Ryan Jacob, chief investment officer at the Jacob Funds talks about early-stage, high-growth investing in technology and small-cap stocks.

Richard Peterson of MarketPsych Data says that most of the economy is not doing well as a result of the global pandemic, which has fostered two different markets, the one made up of companies profiting from the conditions and benefitting from consumer habits that are likely to be permanently changed, and then the market of companies hoping for a comeback or return to normal that may not be enough, ever, to bring them back. Peterson worries about where investors are with their thinking, noting that there is a fatigue driven by bad news and the election that also has the potential to slow the recovery. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com discusses a fund that's not yet in buying territory but that appears to be headed there as the country it focuses on starts to climb out of its deep coronavirus troubles, Ross Hambrick of William Blair and Co. provides his pre-election primer on how and why Americans' November choice will move the market, and Ryan Jacob of the Jacob Funds talks tech stocks in the Market Call.

Lawrence McDonald, creator of The Bear Traps Report, says that the global economy and business environment are poised to see trillions of dollars leave the United States in favor of international investments in the next two years, a trend that will mute the domestic stock market and make it hard to keep pushing forward.

Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes an unusual real estate-oriented fund his ETF of the Week, Ted Rossman of Bankrate.com discusses the billions in unused gift cards and shopping credits that are going unspent, and Ryan Jacob of the Jacob Funds -- an aggressive-growth technology investor -- talks stocks in the Market Call.

On today's episode, Cody and Justin are joined by Ryan Jacob who has one of the more gutsy stories you'll hear. Ryan has decided to step into a mini-retirement or super lean FIRE plan in order to get away from his soul-crushing job. He was in an extremely corporate setting with big money in his future but decided instead to take his nest egg of just over $300k and call it a day. Instead of a cubicle he now spends most of his time on the water catching some awesome fish. It's obvious to see that Ryan is looking for more than fishing in his retirement and is itching to start his own business. Want to know what kind of business he has had and will have? Curious what life looks like when retiring on $300k? Well, go take a listen to today's episode and let us hear what you think. Episode Summary Grew up middle class with a stay at home mom and his dad was a self-employed contractor His mom was a saver while his dad was a saver and his mom's habits rubbed off on him He would always save everything even as a kid Ryan even started investing money at age 14 after he'd saved up $2k through a custodial account with his mom It's the late 90's during the dot com boom His mom sets him up with an adviser and he lost everything in that dot com bubble That experience actually pushed him to learn more about the market instead of discouraging him In college, he studied finance and he realized the adviser who was overseeing money for the whole family was actually doing some shady investing practices Ryan really wanted to start up his own business even at 18 but his mom pushed him to go to a traditional four-year college We talk about the huge gap in financial education in high schools and college He worked for 4 years after college as a consultant and an analyst at a management consulting firm making around $60-70K saving around 40% Part of that career path required an MBA so he went off and did that and came back to a salary of $110k-$120k Ryan talks about his path  wasn't a flip of the switch that it was a very thorough and long term plan Even though he was marching towards retiring early he didn't discover the financial independent movement until just under 2 years ago Ryan stepped away from work after fulfilling his last commitment with his company after saving up just over $300k He's aware that he'll probably need to work again but he's in no rush A really interesting take was his discussion about how if he'd kept working longer and saved up so much to have a safe retirement, he wouldn't have the push to start up his own business which is a big goal of his In college, Ryan had started up a business which was a painting service including a van that he paid $75 for The group made $70k over that summer From that point, we swapped into digging into Ryan's investing strategy His first recommendation is to avoid the percentage based advisers and swap to one time fee-based advisers He also recommends robo advisers such as M1 finance, Betterment, or Wealth-front The number one recommendation though is Vanguard for their index funds Vanguard even has their own advisers We then transition into what Ryan was looking into doing in retirement His goals are related to ocean fishing, hunting, reading, spending time with family, brewing beer, and start a financial advisor business You can really tell how refreshing it is for Ryan to get to reconnect with his family after his profession took him away from them for so long He rounds out the episode by pleading with people to understand that the path to financial independence isn't common and you'll have a lot of people try to stop you or second guess but to stay the course and be confident Key Takeaways There is a middle-ground: Notice how Ryan accepts that he may need to go back to work? That's totally ok with him. He chose to put himself first and get out of a toxic situation.
