About the Author

A person in a suit and tie Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Hi, I am Paul Lawrence Vann, the founder and President of Wealth Building Academy, LLC. I lead an educational and business management consulting company with the mission of developing leaders through keynote speeches, leadership development workshops, digital courses, coaching, books, YouTube, and podcasts. I served over twenty years in the United States Air Force (USAF) in various leadership positions over the course of my military career in my capacity as a military officer.

Eight years into my military career, I separated from the USAF and pursued my lifelong dream of working for a Fortune 500 company. I was recruited by and worked for Mobil Oil Company for two years as a financial analyst in Beaumont and Houston, Texas. A couple of years later, I received a call from the Pentagon and was recalled to the USAF and I was assigned to the Pentagon for over twelve consecutive years.

During my duty at the Pentagon, I worked directly with general officers in the USAF, Air National Guard (ANG), and the National Guard Bureau (NGB). Whether it was assisting with foreign military sales (FMS) training programs, negotiating with foreign governments in their embassy, or escorting ANG general officers to brief members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committee, I gained valuable leadership experience, knowledge, and skills.

What assisted me along my leadership journey was attending every leadership school the USAF had to offer, and it played a pivotal role in me being competitively selected and participating in the Capitol Hill Fellowship program. It was an honor to work for a member of Congress assigned to the House Armed Services Committee in the United States House of Representatives.

I am truly honored to have retired from the USAF with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Upon retirement, I became a professional speaker, trainer, and author. For over nine years, I hosted the Wealthy Speaker Talk Radio Show and produced over eight hundred episodes. I am also the author of Living on Higher Ground and Faith For Times Like Now.

Today, I host the YouTube Channel, Leadership Is Influence and Wealth Academy Podcast that can be found on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts. Through hard work and dedication, I earned a B.A. in Business from Shaw University, an M.A. in Business Management from Central Michigan University, and an M.S. in Contracts and Acquisition Management from Florida Institute of Technology.

Why I Wrote This Book
