The John Rondi Show

Happy Mother's Day everyone! In honor, we had the chance to have my mom on the show, Jen Rondi. We started the conversation with how my parents met and dove into the differences between my dad and I. I wasn't sure where this episode was going to go, but my mom was an absolute gem. She shared her advice on parenting, marriage, and the power of a strong woman. Let me tell you, it got pretty deep (I even shed a tear!) Sit back, relax and enjoy this weeks episode!
