S2 E41 - Two powerhouse innovators: Jackie Wu and Alan Malon

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT — Silicon Valley Impact This week, we sat down with two powerhouse innovators: Jackie Wu and Alan Malon.

⭐ Jackie Wu — From Refugee to Top 1% Sales Leader & Global Coach

Jackie’s story is one of extraordinary transformation. From escaping war-torn Vietnam and arriving in the U.S. barely speaking English… to building a career that spans Stanford University, Nvidia, and becoming a Top 1% nationwide Enterprise Sales Professional across multiple Fortune 500 companies.

During the pandemic, Jackie launched Treasure Life’s Journey from scratch—and within a year, was serving clients across multiple continents. Today, she coaches founders and revenue leaders using her signature method:

🔥 Quick Sales Conversion — One Conversation to YES™ – The same method she used to close $228,000 with Tiffany & Co. in under 30 minutes, – And win the support of California State Treasurer Fiona Ma in just 7 minutes.

Jackie teaches entrepreneurs how to grow faster, avoid burnout, and bypass the endless follow-ups and drawn-out negotiations that drain time and profit.

⭐ Alan Malon — Serial Entrepreneur & AI Trailblazer

Alan has been deep in LLMs and SLMs since 2019, advancing his research at Stanford. He’s raised venture capital in both Latin America and Silicon Valley and worked with tier-1 accelerators and global VCs.

His track record includes:

⚙️ 10+ years scaling B2B platforms serving 3,000+ businesses 🚀 Pioneering the “Automated Social Media Content” category in 2017 📈 Scaling Brazil’s fastest-growing MarTech to market leadership (2022) 💸 Supporting founders in raising millions—including X.ai’s $1B round

This—and so much more—is inside this week’s episode of Silicon Valley Impact, where business insight meets startup innovation.
