Meet The Founder
Jon’s motivational messages have been viewed by over 1 million people online. His positive messages have trended, and his voice has been used by global brands on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, notably by: Red Bull, Michael Bublé, the NHL, Powell Books, GoDaddy Studio, Canada’s Wonderland Amusement Park, and even the LSU Cheer Team.
Jon graduated with his bachelor’s degree in business communications & public relations Cum Laude from Utah Valley University, where he was elected vice president of PRSSA as one of the top ten students in the country to represent the professional transition of students in communication and journalism into the world and practice of Public Relations. Jon was nationally ranked and awarded the President’s Citation and the Golden Key leadership award.
From a young age, Jon demonstrated a natural entrepreneurial spirit and a gift for leadership and influence. At just 12 years old, he launched his first business venture (actually it was his mother who started it and employed he and his siblings to run the business) — creating and delivering snack vendor boxes to corporate offices, fulfilling the needs of busy professionals who wanted convenient, ready-to-grab treats. By age 14, he expanded his entrepreneurial pursuits, mowing lawns for both residential neighborhoods and corporate office parks. Jon and his younger brother would hustle door-to-door, often humorously firing up the lawnmower as they knocked, making it nearly impossible for homeowners to say no.
At 15, Jon ran profitable lemonade stands with his friends, learning firsthand the value of marketing, customer service, and location strategy. By age 16, he channeled his creativity into launching a DJ company that grew rapidly, providing music for school dances, private events, weddings, and corporate functions across his community. By 21, Jon had already expanded his horizons internationally, using micro-financing programs to fund and empower small business owners in developing countries, helping lift entire families and communities into greater financial security.
Jon’s passion for empowering others only grew as he matured. In 2016, he discovered Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which profoundly changed the trajectory of his life. He realized that the secret to success wasn’t just personal drive but the creation and facilitation of masterminds—organized collaborations where individuals could harness collective energy, knowledge, and accountability to achieve extraordinary outcomes.
