Guest Bio:
Jim Padilla is a renowned sales strategist and founder of Gain the Edge, known for generating over $500 million in client revenue through high-performance sales teams and systems. His expertise in influence stems from a rough early life—foster care, street life, and jail—where reading people became a survival skill. Jim transformed that skill into a calling, helping mission-driven entrepreneurs scale ethically and sustainably. He’s also on a bigger mission: building “opportunity cities” to empower ex-cons and aged-out foster youth with purpose, training, and employment.
