Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL

Today, I’m talking with Ann Hiatt, a Silicon Valley veteran with 15 years of experience as the Executive Business Partner for Jeff Bezos (Founder and CEO of Amazon), Marissa Mayer (former CEO of Yahoo!), and Chief of Staff to Eric Schmidt (CEO/Executive Chairman of Google).

Ann now consults with executives and companies across the globe to reverse engineer their moonshot goals and get results. She’s a sought-after international speaker and angel investor with a ton of wisdom on what it takes to succeed in business and life.

She’s also the author of Bet on Yourself: Recognize, Own, and Implement Breakthrough Opportunities, which outlines the daily habits and long-game strategies she learned working side-by-side for decades with the technology giants at Amazon, Google, and Yahoo.
