INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

• Jonathan, briefly tell us a little about Flow and Tell, what is it? How did you come up with the idea?
• What kind of yoga is it? Can you briefly educate us on the different types?
• Why is the post yoga portion of the evening so important?
• You are passionate about quote, “creating transformative experiences”. I’m so curious about this. Can you elaborate? What makes an experience transformative. Is it the setting? The content? The people? Can anyone have a transformative experience at any moment?
• You have an interesting background….and correct me if im wrong, but you went to UNC Chapel Hill for undergrad, then got an MBA from NYU Stern. You worked mostly for tech companies your whole life, including facebook, google, youtube, IBM, you were a consultant for deloitte. Now you also run stone advisory.
• What would you say to other entrepreneurs out there who are trying to do something on the side on top of their main job? How do you manage two things at once?
• Millennials and spirituality; there seems to be somewhat of a dividing line among young people. There are certain buzzwords I can immediately identify; alignment, flow, energy, either you’re accused of being too “woo woo” and in the clouds, or too grounded, business like, and stiff. How do you bridge that gap?
• Where does religion come into play? More and more young people are not going to church or temple, or seeking traditional organized religion. What does it mean to identify as spiritual?
• I have to ask you, given everything that is going on in the world regarding inequality and racial disparity, what role can flow and tell play, and the yoga community as a whole?
• What is something you wish someone had told you 5 years ago, or you had told yourself, that you had to learn on your own? But would have made life so much easier had you known.
• How can people get involved and learn more about you?
