About JonA husband, father of 3 wonderful kids who turned Podcaster during the pandemic. If you told me in early 2020 I would be making content or doing a podcast, I probably would have said "Nah, I couldn't see myself making YouTube videos". In fact, I told my kids, no way am I going to make videos for YouTube. Well, a year later I'm over 100 uploads and my subscriber count is growing.Links Referenced:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-myer/Twitter: https://twitter.com/_JonMyerjonmyer.com: https://jonmyer.com
