"The Disruptor is back! I watched this story playing out in real time as Jay's mentee Vin took the city like a dark horse, rising from welfare in the UK to the inner circle of LA entrepreneurship in a very short time. That alone was impressive. What's more impressive is Jay's framework for helping Vin get there -- and the distillation of that process into this very accessible book. Future Proving You reveals a powerful framework for navigating both the potential -- and the pitfalls -- of the very complex times we are all living in. Whether your goal is to be a millionaire entrepreneur or simply the best version of yourself, this book is a fresh approach rooted in real results and timeless principles."
