In a world swirling with chaos, distraction, and temptation, Jon has become my North Star. The breadth and the depth of the guidance that he has helped me find is hard to overstate. I've struggled with inattention and anxiety and been searching for how to define and pursue my purpose and, through spending time with Jon, I've really begun to connect with what I want in life, what I have, and where I'm going. If you're struggling to put your finger on that which brings you meaning or just what the next career move is for you, spend some time with Jon. You will absolutely gain clarity and direction around whatever you bring to him. I can't say enough, he's wonderful.
