When I interviewed Jonathan Samuelson, I knew his numbers were incredible. 248% of quota his first year with Untap Your Sales Potential, 318% the next, and two consecutive years earning over $1,000,000 W2 in tech sales. 

What I didn’t know was his personal story and how much adversity he’d overcome to get here. 

Before joining UYSP, Jonathan had been at Genesys for five years and had nearly lost his job due to poor performance. Then his son Miles was born with a heart condition and couldn’t breathe on his own from the moment he entered the world. They spent 21 days in the pediatric ICU. By God’s grace, his son survived and he’s now a happy and healthy boy. 

When Miles stabilized, something shifted in Jonathan as a father and a man. He had a much deeper purpose in life, and a greater appreciation for how fragile and precious life can be. At that point, he made the decision to invest in himself and go ALL IN on his career, his family, and his future.

The next year he was at Chairman's Club. Then he did it again. In the process, he also runs Ultra-marathons including running a 100-miler. To top it off, he published a children's book called Little Trail Runner to teach kids some of the valuable lessons that he learned from trail running, and is raising two kids under four at home.

Want to know how he does it all? This is exactly what we discussed on the podcast. 

This conversation is one of the most inspiring and energizing ones I’ve had since starting the podcast. Here is what we covered:

• His rock bottom before starting coaching: spending his workdays browsing Zillow, being constantly distracted, and feeling deep anxiety from not performing at his potential
• How Miles being born with a life-threatening heart condition became the moment everything changed
• Going from under $200K to over $1M in his first year in the program, and the exact shifts he made to 5x his income 
• The daily planning system that keeps him focused and intentional despite having ADHD
• How he closed an $8M ACV deal at the director level without ever having true executive access, and what that taught him about champion-building
• The 40X ROI of coaching: investing $20K and earning $800K that year 
• Why he started doing daily affirmations after mocking them for years
• How faith changed his relationship with anxiety and quota pressure
• Running 100 miles in 24 hours and what that taught him about endurance
• Writing a children's book
• The decision to go ALL IN that changed his entire life

If you are sick and tired of getting average results, this conversation will inspire you to make the necessary changes to succeed at the highest level in sales and in life.
