From a very early age Jon Miller had goals in life. He wrote them down. His family, like most, tried to temper his expectations because they didn't want him to be let down. Jon started stacking chips on his shoulder.
Fast forward a few years later and Jon had started up one of the nations largest sports websites, Hawkeyenation.com, was the sports director at 1040 WHO, and had a hit show on the B1G network called The Pulse.
However, it didn't last.
The show was cancelled, he was battling alcoholism, marriage was on the brink, and he found himself and his family with 6 figures of debt living in a little 500 square foot apartment with no idea what tomorrow held for them.
Many people would not have been able to continue.
But what did Jon do?
Jon Miller kept stacking those chips on his shoulders.
He went from less than nothing and started a company that in the first year reached 7 figures!
Listen to the ongoing struggles and success story of my childhood friend, the Godfather of Hawkeyenation.com, a former host of the B1G network show The Pulse, former Sports Director at 1040 WHO, co-host of the highly rated ‘Miller & Deace in the Morning’ program, and co owner of the company Flashpoint Energy Partners.
