Jon has rarely spoken at an event where he didn’t bring audience members onto the stage to test their knowledge of what they’ve just learned from him. If you’re wondering what connects YouTube comments & the sun 🌞? It’s dangerous to look at either of them for too long.

“Amazing presenter, very charismatic & engaging. His take on creating content is insightful & inspiring.”
