The Work Ethic episodes

  • The Poor | A Manifesto Talk

    This is a talk I gave at the Underground a little over 5 years ago. The community was going through the 16 driving values that make up their Manifesto and I was invited to share on the week we covered 'The Poor.' This talk open with about 15 minutes of hearing from Mr. Bill, a brother and friend who I invited to help intro the days topic. Mr. Bill had been on the streets for some time before living at the drop in center as "security" and helping run our day to day operation.  This talk contains much of my story and my thinking about God's heart for the Poor and I figured I would share that with you here. Enjoy

  • Jon on IWork4Him Radio

    I recently had an opportunity to share about this podcast and WellBuilt Bikes on IWork4Him Radio, a christian podcast having conversations at the intersection of faith and work. I was on a few years ago and apparently they have never stopped talking about me saying "I met Jesus on LSD." So naturally they invited my back to catch up on the shop and share about The Work Ethic which launched since then. They just released the episode and I wanted to share it here as well. You can watch the video version on YouTube on the IWork4Him channel.

  • Halloween is a special day for me
    I was recently able to track down the audio of an interview I did about 5 years ago. It was for a podcast that never came out. Since it was meant to be edited in post production the full audio is quite long and full of start and stops making it hard to listen to as one thing. It lends itself quite well to being chopped up into lots of little stories and vignettes. This is a clip of me telling the story of my car accident that happened on Halloween night 23 years ago. I figured since tonight was halloween, the three year anniversary of WellBuilt Bikes and the 23rd year anniversary of my accident, it was an good time to share this clip with you here.

  • Ep. 41 Christopher Williams | A Playful Grind, Creative Process, & Life after Closing

    Christopher Williams recently suspended a political campaign as well as closed his marketing agency, Expressedly Creative. While this conversation is not all about that experience, it was cool to have it in this season after such decisions. His shift from extremely engaged entrepreneur and budding civic leader to this season of time with family and freedom to work on other projects makes for a really rich season of reflection. I always enjoy talking with him and was so excited to catch up and talk through his recent experiences, get his observations on the state of business in general, and just enjoy the company of this really good dude. Please enjoy this conversation with Christopher Williams.

    This episode is a recording of a session I did with some youth in a local re-entry program. I shared my story and did a bit of Q&A with them in the staff and was very happy with what their questions prompted me to articulate. Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, WellBuilt Bikes, or the Well it's all here. there is a point in the session where someone asked me to give a tour of the shop and all you have here is the audio but if you would like to see the visuals from that session you can find it on YouTube.

  • The Place of the Poor in the Hope of the World
    Okay first of all this episode has a 5-minute intro that I made while taking a morning walk so forgive the breathing and tempo of my speech and enjoy the birds singing in the background. The rest of this episode is a recording from a class that I taught for the Underground Network's Elders in Training course. in this class I lay out some of the core convictions and philosophies of my life in regard to God's heart for the poor and the place of poverty in our own lives. If I were trying to reverse engineer myself and the work of my life, I would argue that this would be a key class among maybe five lessons at the heart of my own making. I hope you find it engaging and valuable for your own development.

  • Let us Pray: A very brief reflection
    I'm going on prayer walk tomorrow. As I was driving to a friend's house this morning, I decided to record my thoughts while processing what prayer is. What are we doing when we gather to pray? What good is it? Is there a point? This is basically just a voice memo that I decided to share here. Let us pray
