But How Did Jon Become the Amazement Artist?
Before founding Bore No More, Jon built his career in sales and marketing, from big corporate to a technology start-up in which he grew with it from 15 people to 1,500. Later, leading a 250 member sales organization in the insurance industry where they crafted "Moments of Amazement" and lead a turn-around.
His understanding of leadership, performance, and change comes from working through those challenges himself. Then, discovering how powerful simple moments can be when building relationships, establishing trust and growing business impact.
When he began presenting to his own sales team, he brought together business strategies, inspiration, and an unexpected ingredient: magic. Customers started asking him to speak to their teams. Then vendors asked. Eventually, invitations came from companies he had never worked with. In 2004, Jon left his corporate executive role to pursue that work full time.
Jon is the founder of Miracles & Magic which began with a hospital visit, when Jon was asked to perform for a child facing a serious illness. That encounter inspired him to bring the wonder of magic to more children and their families. The first show took place in a high school theater in 2002, and today features the top magicians from around the world performing to help many forget about the daily realities of chemo, shots and hospital stays. Through this program, millions of dollars has been raised to continue to support life experiences.
