From Analyst to Luka Dončić’s Double: The Viral Rise of Jacob
🔍 Episode Summary:
In this unforgettable episode of Financial Forward, host Jim McCarthy reconnects with Jacob, the breakout analyst from McCarthy Hatch whose debut podcast went viral. But Jacob's talents go far beyond financial risk modeling — turns out, he was hired as Luka Dončić’s body double in the buzzy new Jordan Brand ad, ‘The Trial of Luka Dončić’.
We dive into Jacob’s unexpected journey from spreadsheets to spotlights — how he landed the role, what it was like on set, and how he balances regulatory risk work with a little celebrity on the side. It’s a conversation that proves opportunity can strike anywhere — on a Zoom call or a sound stage.
