In this week's episode, I interview Jon Schumacher. Jon's a really neat marketer I met a few years ago and we hit it off pretty quickly. While he's known for building high quality sales webinars for corporations to close more deals and executives wanting to build a personal brand, Jon shared a side of his story that I hadn't heard before.
He's done it all. After being a successful physical therapist with excellent grades after a "so-so" grade average as an undergrad, Jon built up a practice and was quite successful. But as you'll see throughout Jon's journey, things move in waves. After realizing he didn't want to be stuck in that environment, he set out on his own building information products.
After a number of trials and tough experiences, including partnerships that didn't work out, growing bored with models as technology changed, and just realizing more about himself, Jon's built up an extremely successful business.
The power of this episode for me was really seeing that even though people today can be successful, you never know their journey. Wherever you are today doesn't matter. As long as you're willing to put in the work, focus, experiment, and double down on what's working, you can do anything.
Jon's story illustrates this perfectly!
