Stories and Strategies from a Life of Leadership, Mentorship, and Discovery

Brent M. Jones

Writer, Explorer of Life's Connections, Former Business Executive

I’ve always believed that the most meaningful success comes not just from hard work, but from recognizing the unexpected connections that shape our lives.

My early career was rooted in entrepreneurship, as I founded and ran companies across fifteen states. Over the years, I moved into leadership roles as CEO, EVP, GM, and CFO, helping businesses grow, training teams, and navigating the ever-changing demands of multiple industries.

Whether it was tripling sales at regional food distributors, overseeing operations for a 100-store restaurant chain, or consulting globally through GLG, the consistent lesson was clear: people, not products, are the heart of any enterprise.

Later, I expanded that passion for people by volunteering at a large employment center, working one-on-one with individuals locally and globally. Over five years, I helped job seekers sharpen their skills, strengthen their resumes, build better LinkedIn profiles, and confidently prepare for career transitions.

Today, semi-retired from executive life but deeply engaged as a writer and mentor, I continue to explore the connections between business, career, and personal meaning. Through Connected Events Matter and Connected Events Publishing, I share books, essays, and reflections that help others find clarity, direction, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Life is a series of connected events, and I'm honored to keep exploring and writing about them.

Drawing on a business executive background and an expanded role in personal and career development has presented opportunities to serve in various positions and gain valuable experience in my focus as an Author.

My corporate journey has been diverse, with roles ranging from CEO to HR Director, each contributing to my versatile skill set and adaptability.

My career and corporate consulting work have given me a global perspective, enriching my understanding of a wide range of businesses and markets.

A Note on My Writing Process:

"Writing has always been a personal journey for me, not something I would ever leave to shortcuts or trends. Every book I share comes directly from my own experiences and reflections. I do work with editors to help bring out the best in my writing, but the ideas, the stories, and the voice are fully my own. Authenticity matters to me, and I hope you can feel that in every page."

"Be passionate about improving. Be passionate about helping others. Listen to your feelings.”- Brent M. Jones.
