From the film industry in LA to stepping into an engineering firm and growing it, to eventually finding his calling in Airstream repair and restoration, Jonathan's path is anything but linear.\nThey get into what it really costs to leave corporate life behind, how the skills of a film producer translate directly to building a business, and why Jonathan believes the founder of Airstream would still be proud of what the brand stands for. Jonathan also opens up about imposter syndrome, generating early revenue, setting customer expectations, and the tension between giving yourself grace and holding a high standard.\nThis one is for anyone who has ever asked themselves what they are really building and who they are building it for.\nThese conversations are designed to give you practical insights into leadership, growth, and building companies that actually make an impact.\nSit back, relax, and let's take flight.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Bh0ANeszDU9_SU5r7Yxn3KQ9oSWD_uhJu5FVYFIyD5Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNDRl/N2NkYTk4Zjg1YWJi/NTk3ZjlkYmJhYmY0/YjFiZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
