He took us on how his daily tasks look like; how he secures areas with threats to help the vulnerable. Now, he lets us into the system of eliminating fear, so people can advance towards their goals.

Jonathan relates his responsibility of disarming a bomb to how we live our daily lives. Just like in a business setting affected by the current global issue, business owners need to observe, evaluate, decide and take action on how they can use the pandemic to their advantage.
