Jon Goehring is a voice over and audio production professional in Rochester, NY. He started his career as a full time radio personality, but left to pursue his own business. Early on Jon struggled immensely (business is always harder than it looks!) but had a game changing breakthrough when he came to terms with the fact that he was competing with everyone in his industry rather than finding collaborative opportunities. 

His error was a scarcity mindset, and the solution has been an abundance mindset. Jon now enjoys working full time for himself producing audio content for small businesses, podcasters, and audiobooks for authors. He lives with his wife, they’ve been married for 2 and a half years, and they enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and playing tennis and pickleball.
