In today’s episode Andy and Jonas sat down with Jon Talarico.

Jon is one the world’s leading experts in building high-value relationships, having worked with leaders, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and people just like you and me. Through his company, Million in You, he helps people create an impactful, flourishing, and prosperous life.

But things haven’t always been sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows for Jon. As a child, he struggled with the absence of his father and for two years was sexually abused by a babysitter. As a young adult, Jon self-sabotaged his success with drug and alcohol abuse, got fired from his “safe” job, and often struggled just to make ends met.

Jon understands what it means to climb an uphill battle, but all of these challenges haven’t stopped him. As you listen to this episode, you’ll find that a core tenant of his research and teachings is if we want new results, we don’t start by doing things differently; we start by thinking differently.

Check out this episode of It’s the Climb to hear the whole story.
