Hello! Welcome to my space.

My name’s Jon! I'm a pastel-color thinker living in Manhattan with a passion for books, introspection, karaoke, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, mindfulness, and getting to know others and the world! I've always loved talking with people, learning from their stories and points of view to better understand my own. This passion brought me to a career in business. However, I soon noticed my work at the time was very black and white. How was I supposed to apply my colorful thinking and interests? I had a significant amount of material from my personal work that I couldn't necessarily channel into my consulting job. As a stubborn individual, I just couldn’t sit still with that.

I found myself craving a space of my own, so here we are! On this site, I write about topics and ideas that inspire my thinking, personal stories from my life and the lessons they taught me, and of course book recommendations to share and engage with others. My desire is to share lessons from the past, the journey of the present, and my perspectives for the future with those around me to provoke deeper thought, dialogue and personal understanding in this crazy life.

Thanks for dropping by!

Optimistically,
Jon
