About

Jill Salzman helps people meet whatever they're facing with more clarity and less fear. A new venture. A hard decision. The end of life. For 20+ years she's guided entrepreneurs, executives, and people at life's biggest crossroads to slow down, tell the truth, and move forward, figuring out what actually works for them instead of what they're supposed to do.

Jill is the author of three books: The Big But Book: A Graphic Novel About the Detours That Shape Us, The Best Business Book In The World* (*According To My Mom), and the Amazon best-seller Found It: A Field Guide for Mom Entrepreneurs. She's shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She's hosted the top-rated business podcasts Breaking Down Your Business and Why Are We Shouting?, a question she continues to ask herself daily.

CNNMoney called her a "mogul." MSN Live said she's a "Cool Entrepreneur We Love." Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer and voted her third business, The Founding Moms, one of the 'Top 10 Websites For Entrepreneurs.' When she's not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or standing at her desk pretending it counts as exercise, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.
