If you've been using ChatGPT for a while, it probably knows a little more about you than you realize.

Meeting Jason comes with a few things you should probably know ahead of time.

He owns an IT company, is involved with the Chamber, community events, real estate, podcasts, marketing, AI, kidsโ sports, health and fitness, and whatever random project seemed like a good idea at 11:30 last night.
Somehow, he will still find room for one more.

Jason isn't particularly good at hearing, โWeโve always had trouble withโฆโ and simply responding, โThat a bummer.โ
His brain immediately starts figuring out how to fix it, who needs to be involved, what it should cost, and whether someone local can do it.

You may begin by discussing a website. Twenty minutes later, you have a marketing plan, an AI strategy, three event ideas, a new partnership, and somehow you're discussing whether a piece of commercial gym equipment is worth buying used.
This is normal.

Not because he wants to make things complicated. Usually the opposite. He wants to figure out why you're doing something, whether there's a better way, and whether you're spending money on something stupid.
And if he thinks you're spending money on something stupid, there's a decent chance he's going to tell you.

He wants to know if it actually works. Specs, reliability, results, cost, and real-world experience usually win over fancy branding and sales pitches.
This applies equally to computers, business software, AI platforms, gym equipment, supplements, and pretty much everything else.

This is how projects are born.

Tell him about something that could help a local business, improve St. Johns, create an opportunity for kids, or bring people downtown and you've probably got his attention.
There's also a strong possibility he'll volunteer himself for something before remembering everything else he's already doing.

Jason has spent a lot of years dealing with people who don't care what the technical term is. They just want the darn thing to work.
That's generally his philosophy too.

Computers? Yes.
AI? Probably.
Marketing? Yep.
Community events? Definitely.
Health and fitness? Absolutely.
Gym equipment? An unreasonable amount.
Supplements? He's probably read the studies.
Some completely random piece of equipment you mentioned 45 seconds ago?
Give him five minutes.

He's much more interested in solving someone's problem than giving them a polished sales pitch.
The downside is that sometimes helping with one little problem turns into figuring out six other things that could be better.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ก๐:
Jason moves fast, thinks out loud, asks a lot of questions, researches things way further than necessary, occasionally turns simple conversations into projects, and genuinely believes most problems can be solved if you get the right people around a table.
So if you're meeting him for the first time, come prepared.
And whatever you do...

You may leave with a business plan, a new community event, an AI strategy, and a recommendation for a used commercial treadmill.
