About Jonathan

Before the mic.

I grew up with very little, served as a military officer, and went on to lead teams in corporate America. Those experiences shape the questions I ask about work, opportunity, and who gets heard.

I’m a certified life coach through Coach Training Alliance and the founder of Link Motivation. I founded K Lifestyle Productions and K Lifestyle Magazine, lead the Kimble Organization, and am a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Filmmaking, producing, and hosting give me different ways to tell the stories I want to put into the world.
