Jonah Berger is the man, the myth, the legend. I had a skype call with Jonah in the winter of 2014 to discern whether this well-seasoned former Camp Director and I were going to work together for the summer. What I didn't know is that I would gain a lifetime friend. I'd bet my bottom dollar on it.
Jonah has spent the better part of the last 20 years advocating for individuals with disabilities in Denver, CO and across the nation. He is more than a program guide, camp director, or mentor figure ... Jonah is as close to the real deal as they come and mostly because he is willing to admit all the ways he is not the real deal. Take a peak into his life and way and let me know what you think about the man we call "Joneeezy". Thanks for listening!
