In this episode of Ameritocracy, host Troy Edgar meets with JB Jaso at our L.A. studio. JB, a former US Army veteran, who made the successful transition from military service to a leadership role in the sports industry.
From his Long Beach roots, to serving his country and now overseeing security for the Los Angeles Angels, we look into the challenges and rewards of his military service, including his expertise in Army’s Special Operations CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives) unit and how he prepared for post-service life.
JB also discusses Major League Baseball stadium security and his unwavering commitment to giving back. He shares his involvement with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, a cause close to his heart, and his leadership role in the Orange County affiliate. Get ready for an inspiring conversation about leadership, service, and community.
A great follow-up episode is E36: MLB Pro Scouts Brad (SF Giants), Taylor (TX Rangers) Cameron on Identifying & Developing Talent. Two scouts, 4 World Series rings. Scouting top talent is like stepping up to the plate—whether in business or sports, finding that MVP is every leader’s toughest play. In this episode, we dive into how to call strikes on character, make clutch calls on potential, and use tech to knock talent discovery out of the park.
