Here's a taste of what went down... Embarrassing ourselves on camera? How G.R. could've made something of himself “Agricultural commodities are always interesting” Why is an industry GOAT like Jon doing itty bitty shows with folks like little ole me? [playing chess while others are playing checkers] 3 stages of content feedback Jon's using to grow his personal brand “I know that my success in the future is going to be largely dependent on the ______________ I have today” “I want to increase the odds as much as possible that I'm building stronger connections with people that are going to be a big deal in the coming years.” “It doesn't take ____ ____ ___ ___ to stand out from the masses in a measurable way…” Why Jon doesn't give a shit about your Instagram audience How Jon is stacking the odds in his favor on finding meaningful connections with the folks who are going to “be somebody” in 2022 Why you're stuck selling low-cost products based on fear & emotion (and what to do instead) The most beautiful thing about a podcast… The funny-as-hell JARG Award and creative ways to become the epicenter of your community!?
