GUEST BIOGRAPHY: Jake A. Carlson

An attorney, recognized business leader, inspiring presenter, and popular podcast host. A natural storyteller who loves listening to your story and exploring what matters most to you. I earned my law degree (JD) from California Western School of Law concurrently with a business degree (MBA) from San Diego State University, attending on a Creative Problem-Solving Scholarship and receiving the 2005 Outstanding Case Award for best MBA consulting project—a licensed member of the State Bar of Arizona. I began my career in the nonprofit sector as Associate Regional Director and then as National Major Gifts Counsel, an in-house tax counsel position with the Boy Scouts of America National Foundation. In these positions, I was first introduced to the idea of leaving not just your valuables but your values to the people you love most. Working with hundreds of families on tax estate strategies, I developed the Values-Based Estate Planning strategy used by LifePlan Legal today. I have personally presented to over 200 groups in 27 states on estate planning and protecting your legacy and authored over 100 leadership articles on influence, legacy, family vision, and the Values-Based Estate Planning process. As host of the Modern Leadership Podcast and Family Before Fortune Podcast since 2014, I have had the privilege of interviewing hundreds of recognized executives.
