Listen Later

How does a guy who helped displaced companies after 9-11 end up in Federal Prison. Meet Jason Safford who in only 4 months removed from getting out of Federal Prison. Jason has been a CEO, a real estate investor, author, speaker, and executive coach. He was an early pioneer of green energy, and even taught New York City officials how it could work for the city. Jason was the CEO of Safflyn for 16 years, and led the acquisition of development of more than $200 million in real estate. He helped companies find cost efficient ways to find new office space in Brooklyn using green energy after 9-11. Jason's nightmare began with an ambitious green energy community that went from bad to worse to prison. There are nuggets of wisdom Jason shares of what to look out for in a partnership. This is a story about never giving up on yourself, and sticking to what you know even if you have to survive a nightmare to get there. Jason is fresh out of prison, and it is interesting to hear his perspective of how he is adjusting to reentry. Amazingly, Jason is still passionate about developing the land that sent him to prison. Jason's books are Think Green the Future is Awesome, Sun, Sand, and Salt, and Winning with Exceptionalism.
