I sit on your desk.
I ride in your pocket.
I wait with you in your car.
I can open any door.
I can reach anyone, anywhere.
I turn silence into opportunity.
I’ve built businesses.
I’ve saved deals.
I’ve created relationships that last decades.
But most days… I’m ignored.
Or used to scroll instead of connect.
In the right hands, I’m power.
In the wrong hands, I’m distraction.
Who am I?
Your phone.
Use it.
Make 5 new calls today.
Start conversations.
Show up.
Follow a plan.
Communicate.
Meet (face-to-face or Zoom/Teams).
Connect.
Train.
Practice.
Do the simple things… consistently.
That’s the edge.
THINK BIG!
After almost 3,000 episodes, The Think Business podcast is evolving.
Starting Monday, we're rebranding to Coffee with Jon. Think Big. Get Unstuck. Grow Your Business.
Think Business was always about more than tactics and strategy. We explored the soul of each guest, what made them tick, what was uniquely theirs, and how they tapped into something inside themselves that allowed them to grow in ways they never thought possible.
My goal was never just to inform. It was to inspire you to uncover your own unique talent.
Coffee with Jon carries that forward.

What if growing your business didn't require a massive team or a complicated strategy?
After 11 years of coaching business owners, salespeople & executives, here's what I've seen actually move the needle:
A phone. Because real relationships are still built conversation by conversation.
Meetings. Because showing up in person, or on a call/Zoom/Teams, changes everything.
AI like Claude or ChatGPT. Because thinking faster and working smarter isn't optional anymore.
A great VA (Virtual Assistant). Because your time is your most valuable asset, protect it.
LinkedIn. Because your next client is already scrolling.
Using the right tools with intention.
As a coach and mentor to business owners, salespeople & executives, I've learned one thing, getting unstuck always starts with a conversation.
