Jerry Lee – He Built a Following of 2.5M+ by Fixing the Job Search – Co-Founder of Wonsulting

What if you left Google… and built something better?

Jerry is the COO & Co-Founder of Wonsulting and an ex-Senior Strategy & Operations Manager at Google & used to lead Product Strategy at Lucid. After graduating college, Jerry was hired as the youngest analyst in his organization by being promoted multiple times in his first 2 years. After he left Google, he was the youngest person to lead a strategy team at Lucid. Jerry started Wonsulting to help millions around the world land their dream jobs. Through his work, he’s spoken at 250+ events & amassed 2.5+ Million followers across LinkedIn, TikTok & Instagram and has reached 200M+ jobseekers globally. In addition, his work has been featured on Forbes, Newsweek, Business Insider, Yahoo! News, LinkedIn & elected as the 2020 LinkedIn Top Voice for Tech & Forbes 30 under 30. 


Wonsulting is a company founded in 2019, which mission is to turn underdogs into winners: helping individuals, particularly those from non-traditional backgrounds, secure their desired careers. They have gained a significant following on social media and have positively impacted many through their online presence on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

But before Jerry Lee became a founder helping millions land jobs, he was just a kid eavesdropping on his parents through a cracked apartment door, hearing them wonder if they should give up on America altogether.


That moment sparked something in him. Not hustle. Not ambition. But a deep-rooted obsession with helping others make it, especially those without connections, confidence, or a clue where to start.


This conversation isn’t about résumés or viral growth. It’s about the real stuff founders never talk about:

  • Quietly wondering if he should’ve stayed at Google for the money
  • Facing imposter syndrome as Wonsulting scaled past his skillset
  • Wrestling with the tension between ambition and gratitude
  • Rebuilding confidence while the world watches you on LinkedIn


We also dive into:

  • The weirdest thing that 10x’d his content views
  • The "worst" pieces of advice in job search
  • The dark side of founder burnout, and what actually helps
  • And the two lives he almost lived: professional gamer or corporate exec


Jerry doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out. But his honesty, clarity, and conviction in this episode will leave you thinking deeper about your own path, and how to walk it better.
