Jay Samit
Entrepreneur, author, speaker, and innovation strategist.
About Jay
Jay Samit has spent his career at the center of disruption—from early video games and special effects to digital music, streaming, and AI. He cold-wrote Bill Gates and got him to help. He started a special effects company at 21 with no experience. He turned failing technology into new business models.
His book Disrupt You unexpectedly became a global phenomenon, and his latest work, The Second Act Advantage, argues that technology and AI are creating unprecedented opportunities for people to build meaningful second careers later in life.
Jay's philosophy is built on two things: insight and perseverance. He believes that entrepreneurs don't sell things—they solve things. And that the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. He has mentored individuals from homeless immigrant to millionaire, and his story proves that reinvention is always possible.
