It’s always fascinating to hear the stories of those who took big risks in order to pursue a dream and were successful at it - and this was the case with Jonathan Sparks. After successfully practicing business law for years, he felt his calling was something else. Aware that those closest to him would consider him crazy, Jonathan courageously decided to tune out the opinions of others and pursue his longtime passion of becoming a musician. Get hooked on this story as he takes us through his musical journey of self-discovery, beginning when he learned to play his first song on the guitar at the age of 16, all the way to the talented man that he is today and everything else that shaped him in between. Jonathan is living the best of both worlds and has met plenty of supportive people along the way. His focus now is creating music while he continues to practice business law and manage his firm, Sparks Law. He’s also a best-selling author and has a podcast named Success, Decisions, & Rock N' Roll. There's no denying that his authenticity has gotten him a long way, and this is just the beginning.
