The System Failed People Who Did Everything Right.
He Decided to Fix That.
Jacob grew up on a farm — which means he learned before he could legally work that discipline, precision, and showing up are the only things you can control. That discipline carried him through a J.D. specializing in international contracts, an MBA, and a career that took him to the General Counsel's office of a multinational corporation.
From inside that corner office, he became obsessed with a question no credential could answer: why do intelligent, hardworking professionals who have done everything right still end up financially uncertain in retirement? He went back to school — earning his Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership — not to collect a degree, but to answer that question at the highest academic level.
The answer was an engineering problem. The conventional retirement system was built for accumulation, not for income. Not for certainty. Not for the six specific forces that threaten every retirement plan that looks fine on paper. Jacob built the 360° LIFE DESIGN™ framework to fix that — one blueprint at a time.
The Conversation Most Advisors
Are Not Equipped to Have.
Most retirement conversations stop at the spreadsheet. Diana Sanchez Astudillo goes further — into the legal structure, the behavioral reality, and the human decisions that determine whether a retirement income plan actually holds together when life happens. As a Licensed Attorney (EC), certified U.S. Paralegal, and Certified Life Coach pursuing her CLU designation, she brings a dimension most practitioners cannot offer: the intersection of legal precision, coaching psychology, and income architecture in one conversation.
Her focus is the full arc of a family's financial life — retirement income architecture, legacy protection, and the behavioral and legal dimensions that determine whether a plan actually holds together when life happens. She operates with the same 360° LIFE DESIGN™ methodology and the same standard: never a product pitch, always a plan.
Diana serves both English- and Spanish-speaking families with equal fluency — linguistic and cultural. For first-generation professionals building wealth without a family roadmap, her bilingual practice provides both the strategy and the confidence that the conversation is happening in the right language.
