Jonathan Goodman is an explorer who has written 3 books about his passions. He has gone from personal trainer, to entrepreneur, to social media marketing maven. Jon’s open about the highs and the lows, including the 6-month hiatus that helped reset his life. It’s a compelling story and there’s a lot you can apply to your own journey.

During this conversation, you will learn about:

• 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
• leveraging a book to gain legitimacy
• why good authors use great editors and designers
• 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?
  • where is the line between fulfilment and profit maximization?
• a couple of “easter eggs” I noticed when re-listening to this conversation

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.
