FROM YOUNG & SCRAPPY- TO MATURE & CLASSY
About jeff
Jeff Brodsly’s success story is no accident. His begins as a young adult, dreaming of a rich life for himself and his family before he was ever married or even thinking of children. Growing up in a working, middle-class family in Southern California, he knew he’d have to do something extraordinary to stand out and be recognized as an accomplished entrepreneur and business leader amongst his peers.
Fresh out of college, Jeff was determined to be a leader but recognized that he’d have to start at the bottom and work his way up, proving himself and earning respect along the way. In 2008, he began as an entry-level sales person determined to learn everything he could about the business and quickly became a partner. A few short years later, Chosen Payments was born in 2011 and soon after grew to be ranked by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America.
Always a visionary, Jeff’s approach to business has been a unique one. While his top priority has always been his accredited “white glove service”, it was his laser focus on building solid partnerships that has earned him the recognition as one of the Ten Best CEO’s of 2020.
Never one to get too comfortable where he’s at, Jeff has taken his success in the credit card processing space to other ventures and has invested his growing wealth back into his community in the form of successful restaurants, small business lending, and property development.
“To whom much is given, much will be required of. I have tremendous gratitude for all I have achieved, and I want to share the secrets to my success with you.” – Jeff Brodsly
passionate about
inspiring others
One of Jeff’s greatest joys in his success has been the opportunity to give back, both to the local communities where his companies operate and also to the clients and the industries that have helped to make him so successful. He is actively involved in local fundraising and community service, proudly serves on the board of directors for several associations at a local and national level, and donates regularly to many charitable organizations that he holds dear to his heart.
Jeff is proud to have invested in several start-ups with some incredibly exciting brands. These partnerships have not only provided him a way to re-invest his earnings, more importantly he is able to invest in people and causes he believes in.
Michael Jordan once said "Talent wins game, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." While Jeff would happily talk your ear off about basketball, this quote applies more to his employees than to his love of sports. Early in his career as a CEO, he realized he’s only as strong as his team. Below he shares just a sampling of the awards he has been fortunate enough to receive with the help of his team.
