- Jon’s journey and the core drive that lead him along the way
- the core piece of advice that his mentor gave him, which laid the foundation for his success
- how he hustled to grow his network
- how helping others expose their content also grew thePTDC.com into a respected website

- a simple, yet killer tip for writing your book (I’m going to use it)
- the link between social media and personal training
- how a 6-month hiatus gave him the space he needed to refocus and leap forward
- what comes after your initial success?

These podcasts are only the beginning, hopefully leading to deeper conversations. In that vein, I’m going to try something new. I’m creating a group where I can post unreleased resources, share unique opportunities and interact with you on a more personal level. The key to me is interaction. To give us a way to learn from each other.
So – if this sounds fun to you, join our growing community.
Oh – and before this starts to sound like some slick sales shit – this is all free. All you need to bring is your time and attention.
