Welcome back Story Tellers! Today’s main character is Jonathan Jones (@jonathanjonesspeaks).
Millennials are easily the most scrutinized and misunderstood generation of my lifetime. Often labeled as entitled, self adsorbed, and lazy, Jonathan is out to shatter these notions by living on purpose. He's on a mission to empower and inspire students and millennials with his weekly "Process to success series," keynote presentations, and student development sessions. Truly on a mission to help millennials and students achieve success, Jonathon wrote Process, 14 Surprisingly Simple Behaviors to Skyrocket Millennials to Success.
Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jonathan Jones is the youngest of two boys. Always encouraged by his loving parents to reach for the stars, Jonathan attended Richland College and played for the men’s 2009 Junior College National Championship basketball team while earning an Associate Degree. Jonathan has always had the heart to serve others but especially wants to facilitate youth to pursue a better tomorrow.
In the pursuit of positivity, Jonathan founded the No Complain Campaign in 2014, which provides daily motivation and inspires others to be grateful. The platform bloomed from his sincere heart and love for youth.
Expanding his ambition to help others maximize their God-given gifts, Jonathan earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in marital and family therapy at Southern Methodist University.
Although Jonathan was not always as optimistic as he is these days, positivity is something he learned while working at less than ideal jobs and not always making the best decisions. Through these tough lessons, Jonathan was able to find his way, and now he influences and inspires youth and millennials everywhere!
