Wisdom and Fun…all in one!

Jonathan has a way of merging deep wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration that leaves you wanting to be better…a better friend, employee, leader…whatever! I’ve known him since the good ole days of youth group and benefited from his leadership and friendship. Can’t wait to hear more from him and the friends he will feature.

Laughter, wisdom, & life lessons!

I’ve known Jonathan for over a decade, and he has been a constant inspiration and source of guidance and growth in my life. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in PR, marketing, and development specifically in the non-profit world, his circles of influence and networks span so many different sectors and fields. I’m so excited for the guests he will invite and have on the show because I know he’s got some incredible people in his life. His life overseas and years of travel all over the globe also lend itself to fascinating stories of culture, love, grace, hardship, and triumph. This is a genuine, heart-warming, and insightful podcast that you definitely want to subscribe to and listen to as new episodes come out!
