Life places obstacles along the way that must be overcome to form character and personality. Eventually, people who have been through a lot are able to help others achieve personal change and in so doing, change society with a grain of sand.
Jesse Todisco, better known as Jesse Tee, has accumulated great experience through his life. He lived through difficult personal events such as the death of his newborn daughter and his mother. He also had a tough childhood.
“From growing up in the fighting town of East Boston, to being bullied for years, to say my childhood was rough is an understatement. My father was a heroin addict for thirty-five years. He was able to break free of his addiction for the last ten years of his life, which was a beautiful experience for me and my children. I also sold and used drugs for two years before enlisting in the Navy, which ultimately saved my life. I have held death on my hands on two occasions. My daughter died seven days after birth, after suffering a birth injury I held my daughter in my arms until she took her last breath.” Jesse shares.
But Jesse was able to overcome all of this and learn something from it. After his daughter died, Jesse founded a non-profit organization called Alana’s Angels that helps those who have suffered the loss of a child, from miscarriage to the death of an adult child.
Since 2006, Jesse has founded four companies; two were learning lessons and two others were very successful. Today, he runs 46 & 2 Wealth Partners, an investment advisory firm he founded.
“We teach our clients the wisdom of wealth so they can experience freedom and happiness. Operating as a fiduciary allows us to truly align ourselves with our family of clients, as we do not accept commissions nor do we sell any product or service. In the United States alone, there are nearly 400,000 financial services professionals. Only five percent of us are fiduciaries, meaning we do not accept commissions. There is an inherent conflict of interest between the salesperson and the client because you never really know if the product you are being offered is better for you or for the person selling it. I felt called to eliminate that from my business altogether and create a beautiful handshake between 46 & 2 and our family of customers.” Jesse explains.
In starting his businesses, Jesse was looking firstly to create wealth for himself and his family. But along the way, he discovered that helping people through giving them advice and mentoring was his real calling.
In addition to his businesses, Jesse also hosts a podcast called, The Jesse Tee Show podcast, which teaches those seeking greatness the secrets to success.
“We highlight top entrepreneurs, thought leaders, athletes, and authors who share their knowledge and expertise on topics ranging from business, mindset, relationships, health and wellness, and spirituality. We’ve spoken with titans such as Mark Victor Hansen, one of the most sought after speakers in the world today and author of Chicken Soup For The Soul. We also featured Paul Getter, also known as “The Marketing Nerd.” With over a million followers on Instagram alone. Paul has worked with all the biggest names in the business world and is the premier marketing nerd for his magic. He has personally worked with Gary Vee, Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez, Dr. Alex Mehr and many more!” Jesse says.
Through all his ventures, Jesse’s entrepreneurial essence shines through. Since he was a child, he was always looking for ways to make money or innovate.
“Being an entrepreneur has been in my plans from an early age. As a kid, I would set up carnival rides for my friends to play for money. Growing up in Boston also offered unique opportunities to make money. Living across the street from Logan Airport, my friends and I would go to the airport terminals and return ‘smart carts’ or luggage carriers to their stands. Since we knew you got 25 cents back for doing so, we would spend hours running around the terminals picking up a few bucks.” Jesse recounts.
Jesse’s plans for 2021 include expanding his businesses and growing the reach and impact of his podcast, The Jesse Tee Show Podcast. Through it all, he wants to continue helping people and achieving success–which for him means freedom to do what he wants when he wants.
“I am currently working with the mighty Paul Getter on expanding my business and the reach and impact of my podcast. I’m a huge advocate of having coaches and mentors and it doesn’t get any better than The Internet Marketing Nerd!” Jesse states.
