My Story

How I Got Here

Family
I grew up in a family rooted in servant-leader values. My father was an entrepreneur and my mother immigrated from Slovakia. Thanks to them, I’ve spent decades traveling the world and learning from other cultures.

Nursing / Clinical Psych During my nursing career, I spent hundreds of hours at the bedside of critically ill patients in the ER and ICU, and dedicated a year of service as a Mental Health RN serving children with trauma in my local community.

Coach and Speaker
I coach neurodivergent and faith driven entrepreneurs through life transitions. My keynotes have helped hundereds of young professionals recognize they’re the hero of their own journey.

Entrepreneur
In 2018, I started a podcast that grew to 50k listeners in less than a year. This catapulted me into leaving the hospital, and founding a marketing agency that grew to over a quarter million in revenue in under five years.

Organizations I Serve

Action Speaks Louder Than Words

  • Noah Jones: Nojo Creative

    I had the unique pleasure of meeting Jan before he transformed into the super entrepreneur and master of business that he is today. We connected over his passion for people and podcasting and bonded over creativity and the presentation of stories. His strength, for me, comes not just from activity on projects, but from listening and understanding obstacles before helping me to overcome them. It's his best and underrated quality.

  • Libby Connoly: Consultant

    Jan's guidance provided me with reassurance and clarity on my decision to start offering retainer services to my clients early on in my consulting career. He was a great sounding board and really listened to understand and offer insight and even connected me with the right people to get in touch with to build meaningful relationships to help me flourish. His presence is warm, cheerful, and calming. :)

  • Alyssa Alexsonshk: Student

    Before talking with Jan, I felt very isolated, like I had somehow messed up or broken my life’s path because I did not understand what was happening. I feel much more confident now that a bigger picture has been brought to my attention. I am also comforted knowing that I am not the only one who goes through these tough phases. Sometimes it can feel lonely when you choose an unconventional path.

  • Tracy Nicodemo: Leadership Stark County

    Attending Jan's "Finding Your Purpose" talk was an incredibly inspiring experience for me as well as our Leadership Stark County YLA Seniors. Jan is a phenomenal speaker who has a unique ability to connect with each individual in the audience. His motivational words and genuine passion resonated deeply. I highly recommend Jan's talks, it left a lasting impact on everyone present.

  • Jennifer Hoege: Consultant

    Your passion truly shines when talking about and creating community, discussing better ways of doing things, talking about work and life choices that aligns with your values and defending what's right and being a voice for others. You have an impressive ability to analyze situations from multiple angles while maintaining unwavering integrity. This combination of analytical thinking and strong moral compass is refreshing.

  • Jasz Rae Joseph: Let's Work Network

    One of the most impactful things about working with you is your ability to connect productivity, adaptability, and ADHD in such a relatable and actionable way. Your science-backed approach and personal insights make the concepts stick, which is rare and incredibly valuable. The most impactful moment was working with you on the presentation you did for Let's Work Network. That was so impactful.
