Jay Mount Consulting

Most revenue teams are building with borrowed tools.
The same CRMs. The same databases. The same cold email sequences.
It’s no wonder results feel flat — everyone’s playing the same game.

At JMC, we help you build your own.
We design Revenue Intelligence Architectures — proprietary systems that turn raw data, messy ops, and stale tactics into leverage your competitors can’t copy.

Our systems give you:
• Decision-making engines that route leads automatically
• Custom TAMs built from scratch (not scraped from ZoomInfo)
• Cross-channel orchestration that learns, adapts, and compounds
• A foundation your team can own, scale, and evolve

This isn’t RevOps.
It’s competitive advantage — built through automation, intelligence, and strategic clarity.

Want to see what that looks like in your business?
Start with a 48-hour architecture evaluation. We’ll map the risks, identify the upside, and show you exactly where the edge lives.

basix.ai

We started basix.ai because we saw firsthand how doing “sales as usual” prevented sales from happening. Once we isolated and focused on the activities that drive revenue, we were able to boil it down to its simplest components; do the things that drive prospects forward, and stop doing the things that hinder sales. 

Most sales reps inadvertently spend time:

- Chasing deals that were never going to close (based on bad or incomplete data)
- Deciding who should be contacted based on gut feel
- Spending time on endless research, going between systems and databases

We built a technology platform that actually works with the salesperson to keep them in sales conversations and in their sales flow. 

Our experience has shown the answer is not to try to surround the salesperson with more activities and just increase performance, but rather keep the focus on just selling.  

With basix, the smart workflow engine learns what activities and what prospects to focus on so your sales team can get better results. This happens because the system learns who is the current “low-hanging fruit” and constantly serves them up. At the same time, the highest and best activities are matched, taking those prospects further into the buyer’s journey, and moving them to the close.

My story isn't typical - it's not about steady corporate progression or entrepreneurship from the start.

At 23, as a single dad, my journey took an unexpected turn.

In big corporations, where I stayed longer than planned, I experienced a different kind of growth.

Each night, after my son slept, my dual life as a father and ambitious professional unfolded.

But here's something you might not know: in these big companies, I didn't just get by; I excelled. Leading teams from two to 550, I was more than just another face.

I was a leader, learning about product development and large-scale expansion.

Yet, I constantly wondered, 'Am I too late to start my own business?'

This internal struggle, balancing comfort and ambition, kept me restless.

Outwardly successful in corporate, inwardly, I yearned for something of my own.

Skeptics called my desire to leave a stable career crazy, intensifying my internal conflict.

As my son became more independent, my perspective shifted.

A change was brewing, a readiness for something new.

That's when I left my corporate safety net, embracing the unknown.

The excitement of change was tangible, but what was to come?

My journey, initially thought to be solo, became a collaborative effort.

My first customer, my peers - they were more than connections; they were catalysts for transformation.

This transformation led to founding two startups in seven years.

Leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship was more than a business move; it was self-discovery, realizing my potential.

My achievements are clear:

→ Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers.
→ Progressed through 10 roles in two companies before venturing out.
→ Grew bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights.
→ Developed numerous leaders.
→ Launched several products.
→ Built two startups in seven years.

I share my story to inspire those on similar paths, not for self-praise.

If you're wondering if it's too late or too risky, let my experience guide you.

I'm here to connect, share, and inspire.

Let's discover what lies ahead, together.

Most creators post without purpose—and wonder why nobody cares.

I know, because I was one of them.

♟️ No likes.
♟️ No reach.
♟️ No revenue.

I was stuck in a cycle of creating content that disappeared into the void.

Everything changed when I realized this:
Social media isn’t about shouting—it’s about building a brand that speaks for you.

Once I built a clear message and intentional strategy, everything accelerated:

1. +4,000 followers every week
2.  1.2M+ weekly impressions
3.  A growing community of creators, founders, and executives I now mentor

What I Do Now?

I help people like you:

✅ Establish thought leadership
✅ Grow on LinkedIn and X
✅ Turn content into community and revenue

My clients are thriving—many are now some of the most beloved and successful creators on these platforms.

What’s Next for You?

If your content feels invisible, I can help you fix that.
Check my Recommendations section—you’ll see exactly how I’ve helped others succeed.

Your boss will impact your mental health more than your therapist.


And no one warns you about that before your first job offer.

A 2023 study by the Workforce Institute found that 69% of employees say their manager has more impact on their mental health than their doctor or therapist. 

Let that sink in. 😯 

If you love your job but your boss is destroying your sanity, here’s how to protect yourself:

1/ Micromanagement
↳ Set boundaries. Request role clarity and define expectations on your terms.

2/ Blame-Shifting
↳ Document everything. Facts beat gaslighting.

3/ Dismissive Communication
↳ Push back. Ask directly for feedback and challenge vague criticism.

4/ Unrealistic Expectations
↳ Negotiate early. Define what’s possible—and what isn’t.

5/ Lack of Appreciation
↳ Celebrate yourself. Share wins with people who value you.

6/ Playing Favorites
↳ Expand your network. Build relationships with neutral mentors.

7/ Inconsistent Feedback
↳ Ask for specifics. Don’t settle for “just do better.”

8/ Mood Swings
↳ Stay grounded. Don’t absorb their chaos—master your own calm.

9/ Undermining Confidence
↳ Zoom out. Focus on your strengths and build external validation.

10/ Discouraging Growth
↳ Take the wheel. Invest in skills and opportunities they won’t give you.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not crazy. You’re just under poor leadership.

What’s one toxic behavior you’ve had to unlearn from a boss?

When praying for that job, also pray for a work environment that won't lead to depression, burnout, and regret.

Most people pray for the position.

Few pray for the culture that shapes it.

That’s how careers get destroyed from the inside.

"You cannot burn out until you catch on fire." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

A toxic workplace doesn’t just drain your day—it reshapes your mindset.

⚡ Your passion.
⚡ Your drive.
⚡ Your well-being.

When organizations put profits over people, they eventually lose both.

Yet many stay—not out of fulfillment, but familiarity.

Why people stay stuck:

 • Fear of change
 • Misplaced loyalty
 • Comfortable routine
 • Financial pressure
 • Benefits
 • False stability
 • Known discomfort

But here’s the truth:
No one protects your mental health but you.

10 ways to stop sacrificing yourself:

1/ Establish clear boundaries
→ Guard your energy with intention.

2/ Prioritize self-care
→ Treat your health like your most valuable asset.

3/ Stay present
→ Today is the only space you control.

4/ Delegate what drains you
→ If it exhausts you, it dictates you.

5/ Build in recovery time
→ Rest fuels performance.

6/ Set small, steady milestones
→ Progress creates momentum.

7/ Invest in trusted relationships
→ Healthy voices quiet toxic ones.

8/ Keep learning
→ Growth keeps your spirit engaged.

9/ Shape your workspace
→ Your environment influences your energy.

10/ Reach out for support
→ Asking for help is strength.

What’s one practice that protects your peace?

Real leadership isn’t about being in control. It’s about being worth following.


The leadership move that feels wrong but works every time:

Give away your power. ⚡ 

It would've saved me years of confusion—and a few great employees.

Because people don't leave companies. They leave the way you make them feel.

Gallup's research backs it up: poor management is the #1 reason people quit.

Not salary. Not perks. Not titles.

Here's what changed everything for me:

10 uncommon leadership moves that build real trust, loyalty, and influence:

1/ Give Away Ownership of Ideas
↳ Let others take full credit. It builds confidence and sparks innovation.

2/ Send Unexpected Notes of Praise
↳ These moments linger longer than any formal award.

3/ Protect People Publicly
↳ Own the blame in public. Coach in private. Trust multiplies.

4/ Ask About Their Future, Not Just Performance
↳ "What's your dream role?" might be the most powerful 1:1 question.

5/ Let Them Teach
↳ Give them the mic. Confidence grows when they're trusted to lead.

6/ Create Personalized Growth Plans
↳ Cookie-cutter paths kill motivation. Tailor the roadmap.

7/ Acknowledge Emotional Labor
↳ Say, "I know how much effort this took." It matters more than you think.

8/ Celebrate Their Off-the-Clock Wins 
↳ Career isn't everything. Show them you see the whole person.

9/ Delegate Authority, Not Just Tasks
↳ Don't just assign work—grant decision power. That's leadership.

10/ Be the First to Admit You're Wrong
↳ Humility is strength. And it's contagious.

What kind of leader will they remember you as?

Your KPIs are killing your company. Here's what board members track instead.


Stop Acting Like a Boss. Start Thinking Like a Board Member.

Your team needs leadership. Your business needs stewardship.

Most execs are stuck managing KPIs. Board members are obsessed with future value.

"The job of a board isn’t to predict the future. It’s to ensure the company survives it." — Ben Horowitz

If you want to earn a seat at the table, start asking better questions.

Here are 10 questions board members obsess over that most bosses never even ask:

10 questions board members obsess over that most bosses never even ask:

1/ Is our mission still relevant in this market? 
↳ Mid-levels execute strategy. Board members question its purpose.

2/ What systemic risk are we blind to right now? 
↳ If you're only watching competitors, you're missing the landmines.

3/ What’s our burn rate for innovation? 
↳ You track revenue. A board tracks stagnation.

4/ Which key person could we lose tomorrow—and how would we survive it? 
↳ Succession isn't a plan. It's a lifeline.

5/ How are we protecting the brand when no one's watching? 
↳ Compliance won't save you. Culture will.

6/ What would destroy trust with our customers overnight? 
↳ Revenue follows relevance. Relevance follows trust.

7/ Are we too reliant on a single revenue stream? 
↳ If one domino falls, how many follow?

8/ What would this company look like with zero bureaucracy? 
↳ You manage the machine. The board asks if it's worth keeping.

9/ How are we building moats, not just walls? 
↳ Protection is temporary. Advantage compounds.

10/ If we keep doing what we’re doing, will we still be alive in 5 years? 
↳ The future doesn't care about your current success.

Bosses protect performance. Board members shape legacy.

The smartest way to beat a toxic personality?
Starve their ego. Don’t react. Don’t explain. Don’t engage.


The more you play, the more power they gain.
But the moment you stop feeding their need for control—you win.

A Harvard Business Review study confirms:
Disengaging from toxic dynamics not only protects your mental health—it dissolves their influence.

Here’s how to outmaneuver 10 toxic personalities without losing your cool:

1/ The Underminer
↳ Backhanded compliments, subtle digs.
Strategy: Stay factual. Let truth expose their games.

2/ The Narcissist
↳ It’s always about them.
Strategy: Stop chasing their approval. Anchor to your values.

3/ The Victim
↳ Drama magnet. Zero ownership.
Strategy: Push toward solutions. Empathize—don’t enable.

4/ The Gossip
↳ Half-truth dealer.
Strategy: Don’t react. Don’t respond. Silence kills momentum.

5/ The Credit Stealer
↳ Vanishes during losses. Shines during your wins.
Strategy: Document everything. Speak up—calmly and publicly.

6/ The Bulldozer
↳ Interrupts, dominates, steamrolls.
Strategy: Set firm boundaries. Reclaim space with clarity.

7/ The Passive-Aggressive
↳ Sarcasm, delay, indirect hits.
Strategy: Bring behavior into light. Ask direct questions.

8/ The Gatekeeper
↳ Hoards info to stay relevant.
Strategy: Build cross-team ties. Never rely on one channel.

9/ The Martyr
↳ Guilt trips masked as hard work.
Strategy: Define roles in writing. Don’t reward the drama.

10/ The Know-It-All
↳ Rejects feedback. Blocks innovation.
Strategy: Ask what they can’t deflect. Let ego do the unraveling.

Which of these personalities have you faced—and how did you outfox them?

Great leaders build cultures. Good leaders build products. Poor leaders build chaos—and blame their teams for it.

Want to rise beyond management?

Think like a C-Level.

Here’s how they think differently:

1/ They think in outcomes
↳ Not tasks, not effort—impact.

2/ They ask what moves the company
↳ Not just what’s assigned.

3/ They speak in clarity, not comfort
↳ Hard truth over easy consensus.

4/ They define success
↳ Then hold people to it.

5/ They translate vision into targets
↳ Everyone knows the mission and the metric.

6/ They challenge bad ideas
↳ Even from senior voices.

7/ They take full ownership
↳ Results, risks, culture—it’s all on them.

8/ They simplify complexity
↳ Strategy over chaos.

9/ They multiply good people
↳ Great teams don’t happen by accident.

10/ They protect standards
↳ Culture decays when excellence isn’t enforced.

Your manager has more impact on your mental health than your therapist.


The wrong leader will drain your confidence, energy, and drive.

The right one will elevate all three.

According to DDI, employees with leaders who truly care are 3x more likely to be engaged.

The biggest difference?

It’s how they communicate.

Here’s how great leaders speak versus toxic bosses:

1/ Ownership
↳ Poor Boss: “Figure it out. Not my problem.”
↳ Great Leader: “Let’s work through this together.”

2/ Collaboration
↳ Poor Boss: “Do what I say. No questions.”
↳ Great Leader: “I value your input. Let’s discuss.”

3/ Support
↳ Poor Boss: “That’s a you problem, not a me problem.”
↳ Great Leader: “How can I support you?”

4/ Time Crunch
↳ Poor Boss: “I don’t have time for this.”
↳ Great Leader: “Let’s prioritize and find a solution.”

5/ Appreciation
↳ Poor Boss: “You’re lucky to have a job.”
↳ Great Leader: “I appreciate your contributions.”

6/ Problem-Solving
↳ Poor Boss: “Fix it, or I’ll find someone who can.”
↳ Great Leader: “Let’s troubleshoot this together.”

7/ Empathy
↳ Poor Boss: “I don’t care how you feel.”
↳ Great Leader: “Your well-being matters to me.”

8/ Accountability
↳ Poor Boss: “That’s not my fault. It’s yours.”
↳ Great Leader: “Let’s take ownership and learn from this.”

9/ Recognition
↳ Poor Boss: “You should just be grateful.”
↳ Great Leader: “I want you to feel valued here.”

10/ Innovation
↳ Poor Boss: “I don’t pay you to think.”
↳ Great Leader: “Your ideas are valuable.”

As a leader, you have two ears for a reason. You should listen twice more than you speak.


Harvard Business Review found that 74% of employees report feeling unheard at work (Salesforce Research).

Poor listening doesn't hurt morale only - it costs companies an average of $37 billion annually in lost productivity and turnover.

But here's the opportunity: Listening is the skill that unlocks insights, builds trust, and fosters exponential growth throughout your organization.

Here are 10 principles to master the art of listening as a leader:

1. Be Present
→ Remove distractions. Focus fully on the person in front of you.

2. Ask Open Questions
→ Use "How" or "What" to spark deeper conversations.

3. Embrace Pauses
→ Silence allows others to think and share more meaningfully.

4. Listen to Understand
→ Don't plan your response—absorb their perspective fully.

5. Validate Their View
→ Acknowledge their input with phrases like "That makes sense."

6. Take Notes
→ Jot down key points to show you value their input.

7. Notice Nonverbal Cues
→ Tone, expressions, and posture often reveal more than words.

8. Follow Up
→ Act on what you hear and revisit important topics.

9. Stay Curious
→ Enter every conversation ready to learn.

10. Create Safety
→ Foster an environment where people feel heard and respected.

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”
 – John F. Kennedy


Strength isn’t found in comfort.
It’s forged in challenge, discipline, and decision.

You don’t get stronger by wishing life were easier—
You get stronger by choosing to rise anyway.

Study these 10 principles to be a stronger human:

1/ Do the hard thing first
↳ Strength is built when you stop negotiating with discomfort.

2/ Set standards—then stick to them
↳ You don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your systems.

3/ Say what needs to be said
↳ Silence might keep the peace—but it won’t build your spine.

4/ Train your body
↳ Physical strength reinforces mental toughness. Sweat is strategy.

5/ Own your mistakes
↳ Strength isn't pretending you're perfect. It's taking full responsibility.

6/ Delay gratification
↳ Weak people chase now. Strong people invest in later.

7/ Keep promises to yourself
↳ Confidence comes from self-trust. Build it with consistency.

8/ Seek discomfort daily
↳ Your edge lives just beyond convenience.

9/ Stand up for others
↳ Strength isn’t loud. It’s quietly doing what’s right—even when it’s costly.

10/ Lead yourself first
↳ You can’t lead a team, a business, or a family—until you lead your habits.

Don’t chase easy.
Chase growth.
That’s where the real strength lives.
