Hi everybody, welcome to this episode of I’m Here Too. I’m really excited to talk to Jay Larry, a corporate and family governance professional, educator, and founder of What’s Not Taught.
What’s Not Taught is an educational platform built around a simple observation: some of life’s most consequential decisions are the ones we’re least prepared to make.
We talk about how Jay’s upbringing and professional experiences prepared him to pass along these lessons and some of the channels, including TikTok, that he’s using to equip and empower folks to have the hard conversations and step into the lives they want.
Off we go, enjoy.
Julian “Jay” Larry IV is a corporate and family governance professional, educator, and founder of What's Not Taught, an educational platform built around a simple observation: some of life's most consequential decisions are the ones we're least prepared to make.
Jay's career has given him a distinctive perspective on how individuals, families, and institutions navigate responsibility, decision-making, and long-term planning. He began his legal career in the Corporate & Securities practice of an international law firm, working on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, and corporate governance matters. He later transitioned in-house to a global media and entertainment company, focusing on corporate governance and the affairs of its board and committees.
Throughout his legal career, Jay worked with operating companies owned and controlled by UHNW individuals and families, gaining firsthand exposure to the structures, practices, and challenges involved in governing sophisticated enterprises. That experience helped shape his belief that many of the principles used to guide successful organizations have meaningful applications in everyday personal life.
Through What's Not Taught, Jay brings those insights beyond the boardroom, helping individuals and families think more intentionally about relationships, responsibilities, family governance, and the decisions that shape their futures. His work challenges audiences to look beyond the obvious questions, examine the assumptions they take for granted, and recognize the important conversations they may not yet know they need to have.
