In this episode of Words of Wisdom, we sit down with Ben Jackson of Jackson Financial to talk about failure—not just in business, but in leadership, decision-making, and yes, even in football. Using the Dallas Cowboys as an unexpected case study, Ben breaks down how the inability to make meaningful changes can hold back not only organizations, but also the employees and clients who rely on them.
We discuss why leaders must create space for their employees and colleagues to grow, and how ongoing education is key to providing the best service possible. Ben also sheds light on a common financial misconception—the difference between a Certified Financial Planning Practitioner and an Accountant—and why these roles are not interchangeable. If you've ever wondered what it takes to be an effective leader, how to empower those around you, or why strategic financial planning matters, this episode is packed with insights that go beyond the balance sheet.
