Jeni Jonte (00:00)
most of the people that I work with are either just feeling stuck or maybe they've been at the same level of income for the last five years and they're ready to move on. They're ready to have bigger success. Success is determined by the individual, right? What does success mean for you? So I think you had mentioned before, is it like losing weight as well? That could absolutely be, but so we use the term.

releasing weight because if you lose something, you're going to go find it and it's going to come back to you. But, yeah, well, it really does. So that goes into like the cybernetics of it, but we can get there in a second. But, yeah. So looking at, know, what are your goals, right? That's the biggest thing is trying to figure out what are your goals? What are your biggest desires? Your biggest wants.

Jessie Ott (00:31)
That's awesome. I like it. Releasing weight. Yes. Maybe that mindset will help.

Hello everybody, welcome to Thursday Thursday. My name is Jessie Ott and I have Jeni Jonte here, owner, founder and coach at Eliminate Impossible. Welcome, Jeni.

Jeni Jonte (01:36)
Hello, I'm so excited to be here today.

Jessie Ott (01:39)
All right, me too. So, Jeni is a veteran here that's here today to kind of talk about, you know, how she enrolled in our military service and kind of how she, you know, rolled out into the civilian world. So I'm super, super excited to kind of hear about her journey and why she chose to be in the service and then what she's doing now. So where are you calling from, Jeni?

Jeni Jonte (02:02)
I'm in Colorado currently.

Jessie Ott (02:04)
Nice, whereabouts?

Jeni Jonte (02:06)
South of Denver.

Jessie Ott (02:08)
Okay, all right, nice. It's a beautiful area out there.

Jeni Jonte (02:10)
Yeah,

it is, yes, yes, but I miss the ocean. So that's my goal by the end of the year is to get moved to the ocean again.

Jessie Ott (02:20)
wow. Okay. So, so you have a lofty goal

of moving halfway across the country, one way or the other. It's just this little one. So are you from, are you from in Colorado?

Jeni Jonte (02:26)
It's a small goal. It's okay. It's already done.

I'm actually from Illinois, but we have lived now in Colorado. This summer will be 10 years, which is crazy to say because it doesn't feel like that long. But we, my husband and I met in St. Augustine, Florida. Actually, that's where, yeah, we went to grad school there.

Jessie Ott (02:36)
Okay.

Okay.

Nice, that's in our neighborhood.

Yeah. What a great, great, great city. We just love it. We'll even go out for lunch for the day. yeah, we just love that community. There's a lot of ghost stories and tragedy and all sorts of sadness that happens at the, I guess, the first city of an entire giant country that got founded.

Jeni Jonte (02:57)
Yes.

that's awesome.

Mm-hmm. There are.

Yes, yes,

but there's also the fountain of youth right so yes Yes It really really tastes like it too for sure yeah, I know I did drink out of it I don't know if it's apparent after living in this dry climate for more than 10 years

Jessie Ott (03:24)
The fountain of youth. Yep. You gotta love that sulfur water.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it definitely works. We should be going up there and getting it like, know, buckets of it, you know, once a year or something. Just kind of use it brainly. Do a shot. Move over apple cider vinegar.

Jeni Jonte (03:49)
Yeah, yeah, I think just a yearly dose. Yeah.

Yes, I love that.

Sulfur water

is the winner.

Jessie Ott (04:06)
Sulfur water is

the winner. It is the new youth. love it. All right. And sorry, where are you originally from? Illinois. And where in Illinois?

Jeni Jonte (04:10)
Huh?

Illinois.

Kind of the outer suburbs of Chicago.

Jessie Ott (04:20)
Okay, so I'm a close latitude. I'm from Iowa. Northeast area.

Jeni Jonte (04:24)
Okay, yeah. That's awesome.

We would always drive. So actually as a kid, we would always drive from Chicago out here to Colorado, which is what had brought me here. And I thought I wanted to live here. ⁓ So we just took, you know, 80 for ever and ever coming out here.

Jessie Ott (04:37)
Yeah.

Yes. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, from where I live, it's a good, good, good hall. It's about six hours. I know. Chicago. Not to Colorado.

Jeni Jonte (04:49)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's not too bad. That's not too bad. yeah.

Yep, we had to do it in two days, but it was fun. I know, we should have done that. I don't know why, did the Amtrak not go through? ⁓ okay.

Jessie Ott (04:58)
Yeah. Well, now you can ride the train.

I don't know. I just know some people

from my hometown have taken the train out there because they didn't want to fly or drive. It sounds like fun.

Jeni Jonte (05:12)
Yes, yes. Although what

I do not recommend is the Greyhound. So we actually, my friend and I in college took the Greyhound from Illinois to Miami for spring break one year. was an interesting trip to say the least. We should have been better off.

Jessie Ott (05:24)
Hmm. Yeah. ⁓ Oopsie. Yeah. And so we hitchhiked back. That's what we did. Yeah. Ooh,

there's a puppy. Is that a golden?

Jeni Jonte (05:39)
can you see him? So he's one that we are dog sitting. And yes, he's a golden. Ours is under my desk at the moment. But they're both puppies, nine months and five months. So they've been a little crazy today.

Jessie Ott (05:43)
Okay

⁓ okay.

Oh wow. Yeah, we

have a golden and she'll be 12 this year. I know, go so fast.

Jeni Jonte (05:57)
wow.

It really does, yes. Yes, we had a dog last year that passed on, but she was 16, which is hard to believe. Yeah. So finally got a puppy. It took a while.

Jessie Ott (06:05)
wow. Yeah.

Yeah, it takes a while

Jeni Jonte (06:14)
Mm-hmm, yes.

Jessie Ott (06:17)
Yeah, we're a big dog family. So you're from Chicago. So you graduate from high school and then what? Start from the very beginning.

Jeni Jonte (06:23)
Yeah,

okay. So after high school, I went to undergrad at Milliken University, which is in the middle of Illinois, but it's not far from like Irving, Champaign-Urbana, so close to U of I-ish. So if we wanted a big school, we would go, you know, hang out there. and then from there, so I had decided in high school actually that I was going to be a physical therapist. So that was what I did.

Jessie Ott (06:31)
Okay.

Okay.

Jeni Jonte (06:48)
And that's actually what brought me to St. Augustine, because I went to grad school at University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, which was founded and that's the original location there. They now have like four or five, I don't know, locations. It's crazy. But so I started out my career as a physical therapist. And then that was actually what brought me into the Navy as well. So after three years of working as a PT, I just, I've always wanted to serve in some way or another, besides, you know, I serve my patients, I serve,

Jessie Ott (07:16)
Right.

Jeni Jonte (07:16)
I

wanted to serve in the country, I wanted to do something to give back. So I did it backwards. So if anybody who's listening, go the other way. Have the military pay for your education. So after I had already been established, yes. And then I get in and they're like, your degree is too high. There's no loan reimbursement for you. We don't need any extra PT, so there's no...

Jessie Ott (07:24)
Yeah, it saves a lot of money.

Jeni Jonte (07:35)
bonuses for you or anything like that. And I didn't think anything out of it until I got in and heard how much the dentists and nurses were getting for bonuses. So I was like, oh, I did. Yeah, Yes. So I came in as a lieutenant, which was great. So I served as a physical therapist. So part of the medical service core.

Jessie Ott (07:38)
What did you-

wow. Well did you come in at a higher rank then? Okay. Okay. Okay.

Jeni Jonte (07:59)
And then, so it was primarily reserves. And then I also, you know, did my ATs and I did a deployment to Afghanistan again, as part of the medical unit. So served over there and helped. what the great part about it. So, you know, there's not a lot of joy, right. Or exciting things about being in theater, but the good part was I was the only PT for the whole base. So I worked with all of the different countries, you know, every.

everybody that was there. So of course I got to meet people from all over the world and that included contractors, anybody who needed care or anything. I was the person that took care of them while they were there. So that was the good part, right? The rest of it not so, yeah, not so glorious, but so that was an interesting time. And then, you know, through, I was a PT for about almost 16 years as well. That's funny.

Jessie Ott (08:38)
Wow.

Yeah. Interesting. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (08:51)
So, and all this time I've always been kind of a personal development and self growth junkie. So always tried to consume as much information as I could in that area. I read tons of books, listened to podcasts, like watch movies, all of the stuff that I could do to get my hands on. And I would feel a little bit better here and there, but it wasn't until I was introduced actually to Bob Proctor. And then I was like,

my gosh, it connected all of the pieces of everything that I had been learning on my own, but I wasn't really implementing, you know, and then it was just like this huge aha. And I was like, my gosh, I know what I need to do because although I loved physical therapy, it wasn't as fulfilling as, know, I had envisioned it was going to be. I felt like something was missing and then I was meant for more and to make a bigger impact. So that's how I transitioned from that into

Jessie Ott (09:19)
Learning? ⁓ huh. ⁓

Jeni Jonte (09:42)
my own coaching career and starting my own business. So, and it's interesting, even I listened to, so my husband's a PT as well. We met in school in Florida. So St. Augustine's just a magical city. What could I say?

Jessie Ott (09:51)
Yeah, okay. It is, it is. I mean it

is in the- during Christmas time, but-

Jeni Jonte (10:00)
⁓

yes, the Knights of Lights, I love it.

Jessie Ott (10:02)
But like, oh, there's so many people. There's, oh, oh, it, we got stuck on 95 trying to get off I-4 going North for like an hour. Then we got rerouted other times through like PGA and all the things. And then, yeah, and then you get in town and you still have to wait to get, cause where we stay at the Marriott, which is kind of on the North side of town.

Jeni Jonte (10:07)
Are there now? Yeah, it wasn't when we were there, but it's been a couple of years, so.

Uh-huh.

interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Jessie Ott (10:31)
And then

obviously it's across the street and you just walk everywhere. But yeah, we were talking to the bartender and she's like, yeah, I kind of have to get here an hour early during Christmas. And then we went to that Columbia restaurant, which, my gosh, that food is good. Well, it's huge. It's like at least two stories or something.

Jeni Jonte (10:34)
Yes.

⁓ okay.

Yeah, that one, it's good. Now that one's always busy though, feel like. Yeah.

Do they still do

in 1905 day, do you know?

Jessie Ott (10:57)
I don't know. I don't know.

Jeni Jonte (10:59)
⁓ they would roll the price,

because that was when it was established, they would roll the prices back to prices for 1905.

Jessie Ott (11:06)
Yeah, they're not doing that. I'm sure. But that's cool. I don't know. Yeah, I bet. That's so funny. Well, so finally, I mentioned something to the bartender. We just snuck up to the bar and got some food real quick. And I'm like, what is the draw? Like, what is happening? Yes, this is a beautiful city. Yes, this is really cool and really awesome. But why are they all speaking Spanish?

Jeni Jonte (11:07)
I feel like no. It was a busy day. They were very crowded that day.

Mm-hmm

Jessie Ott (11:32)
And he told us that, what happens is during the holidays is that people from South Central and South America will meet their families halfway and they'll come to St. Augustine and have Christmas and meet and Yeah, I thought that was interesting too. Yeah. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (11:44)
That's interesting. Okay. Yeah. I remember the snowbirds, you know, that was, I

complained about them when I lived there, but now I'm...

Jessie Ott (11:54)
Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. It's interesting. mean, we've had some amazing meals and such great shopping experiences there. The museums are just, they just make you chuckle like, I forget the name of the crazy museum with the pool. No, no, this guy has some interesting stuff there.

Jeni Jonte (11:56)
But... that's so... yeah!

The Ripley's, believe it or not. Was that the one? no.

I don't know. Okay.

Jessie Ott (12:20)
I don't know, I'll have to put it in the show notes or something, but it's

not important. But we giggled throughout the entire experience, just because the random stuff he collected. So is that where you and your husband want to go back to?

Jeni Jonte (12:27)
that's cool! I gotta think of that.

Potentially. So we're looking at there or possibly like Virginia Beach or so we have a few ideas. We just got to narrow it down now and then and then go.

Jessie Ott (12:41)
Yeah.

Yeah. Well, warm

or cold? Which do you prefer? Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (12:48)
I prefer warm, but it definitely need the ocean. that's where,

you know, Virginia beach is kind of like that compromise for everybody in the family because, you know, kids like the seasons, but yet it's not as cold as here. So, and I still have water. you know, that's, yeah.

Jessie Ott (12:59)
Yeah.

Yeah. Fair. Yeah. You still have water. Yeah.

And that's a beautiful area too.

Jeni Jonte (13:10)
Yeah, we're going be going next month. So if you know anything about the area you want to share of where to be sure to go or when. I've been to Norfolk, of course, but I didn't really get to explore while I was there and I didn't make it over to Virginia Beach. So no, no, I was just in and out processing. I didn't really have a lot of free time there.

Jessie Ott (13:19)
Okay, yeah.

you didn't? Okay. Yeah, I've-

Yeah, that's fair. I might have

some restaurants. I'll poke around and see if they're still around. There's a good hotel we used to stay in. But the Navy Pier is where we ended up staying a lot too because it was kind of newer and there's a lot going on over there. There was a huge Marriott and a huge Hilton with a bunch of restaurants in it. And then they had...

Jeni Jonte (13:45)
Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Jessie Ott (13:51)
Guy Fieri had a restaurant concept over there and it was just really kind of fun and walkable and whatnot. So yeah, I recommend staying over there if that's of interest. But if you want to be on the beach, of course you need to go to the other side. And I get that too, but the water's cold.

Jeni Jonte (13:54)
Okay.

Yes, yes. That's very

cool. Cold is what he said.

Jessie Ott (14:11)
Yeah, the water's cold there.

Jeni Jonte (14:13)
excuse me, I, that's what I feel about California. I lived in California for a while as well and I know people love it but to me the water is so cold. I like, I like the warmer water, yes, like down south and definitely more on the east coast but, mm-hmm.

Jessie Ott (14:18)
Yeah.

Yeah, the water is cold.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. So how

long did you end up serving in the Navy? All in total.

Jeni Jonte (14:34)
⁓ total...

Hold on.

So the last couple years I was IRR and then so inactive ready reserve. So I wasn't actively drilling anymore for about two years. So probably nine years actively. And then I did that. ⁓ He did not know he was he's like, no, you're crazy. You do that. No, there was a time when we both were considering like going in active duty and then, you know, things just shifted and

Jessie Ott (14:40)
What's up?

Okay. And did your husband serve too? He did not.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (15:05)
I continued to pursue it and he had other interests.

Jessie Ott (15:09)
that's cool. That's great.

You get to pursue your own interests. That's awesome.

Jeni Jonte (15:13)
Yeah,

absolutely.

Jessie Ott (15:15)
And so talk more about this book that you read and how it empowered you to kind of move in this direction.

Jeni Jonte (15:23)
Yeah, absolutely. So it was actually a video of Bob. Yeah, so I was doing something else for a while, just trying to like, it was like there's a little side hustle that I was trying to do. I never really got that into it. But the person who was running it had just shared a video. She would often share like motivational videos, different things. And so was like, I'll just listen to it and you know, we'll see. But I stopped everything I was doing.

Jessie Ott (15:26)
The video, okay.

He

Jeni Jonte (15:49)
and started taking notes and I was just like, my goodness, where is this been? But it was just the way that he was explaining it made so much sense to me and then it really brought it all together. So just in his way of explaining what paradigms are in our subconscious mind and the way that we're programmed and how that is where we're taking action from, from our emotional mind.

and then talking about the different frequencies, right? So that we are always in a state of vibration and that we are vibrating on certain frequency, but if what we desire is on a totally different frequency, then we will never meet that. and even in just this one video, and then I started to do a deep dive for like two weeks of getting, know, watching all of his videos that I could. And then it didn't take long before I was just like, okay, I know what I need to do. Yeah, it was probably.

From the first video that I watched of his to when I signed up, because that's where I got my training was through the Proctor Gallagher Institute. It was less than a month. Like I just knew right away. So I found a way and made it happen.

Jessie Ott (16:46)
Yeah, that's awesome.

Yeah. Okay. And what kind of training is that? Like what, what, and how long?

Jeni Jonte (16:54)
Yes, it's basically a six month training program and then certain steps that you have to go through to become certified. But what I also love is just the community that we have and it's so empowering, it's really amazing. And then we do two live in-person trainings every year. So at the beginning of March, we had one in Arizona and it is just absolutely incredible. There's nothing like it.

Jessie Ott (17:18)
Nice.

Jeni Jonte (17:20)
And then we have constant stuff that we do all the time. Like there's weekly calls every week. There's different, we have like business builder groups, like all kinds of different trainings and things that we have available to us all the time.

Jessie Ott (17:32)
Okay. how do you help people? who are you looking for and are you helping them? How are you helping people?

Jeni Jonte (17:36)
Yeah, absolutely. So

I work with entrepreneurs and business owners. Really, so when I heard this first time statistic, I was like, I don't really believe that, but I've come to understand. So our success and our results are 95 at least percent coming from our mindset and only 5 % maybe from the strategy that we use.

So when I fully started to understand that, was like, oh my goodness. So why do we not, it really, it really is. Yes. And I think I heard that and I just like skimmed by it for the longest time. I'm like, oh yeah, 95 % mindset. But then it started to sink in and like, wow. So if I'm not addressing this mindset and this 95%, then I'm just spinning my wheels, working my tail off with.

Jessie Ott (18:05)
That's a lot. Wow.

Jeni Jonte (18:27)
all of the different strategies, which I even was doing in the beginning. I was letting everybody tell me, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need it. And I just was so overwhelmed and stuck because I wasn't getting the results that I wanted because I wasn't even applying my own training to myself very well. So it wasn't until I fully started to embody it and understand what that actually meant and then shift from the inside. And then things started to change in my physical results.

So that is primarily what I do is to help people, especially when they're feeling stuck and overwhelmed and they know, like I knew that I was meant to do something more. They were meant for bigger success and bigger results. They had a bigger desire and vision and we just help close that gap and bring them from wherever they are here to here and beyond. So, and you do that through shifts and changes in the mindset and retraining the subconscious mind.

Jessie Ott (18:55)
Interesting.

system.

Okay. I like that. I have a podcast that I like to listen to and it's sort of my meditation. And this lady talks about in her mind, your brain is your best chemo because she's helped people walk out of hospice because you can train your brain to heal your body.

And so why couldn't you train your brain to think differently? You know, like what you're, am I saying that right? Like you kind of got to rewire your, the way you, your thinking patterns.

Jeni Jonte (19:50)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yeah. And so like two things, like there's a slight difference, I think, in the way that we do it is for us understanding that mind is actually not your brain. Your brain is like your switching board. It's like an electronic switching board. It's a part of your physical body. Your mind is movement. It's actually, it's a part of everything. So it's

Jessie Ott (20:10)
Okay, that makes sense.

Jeni Jonte (20:19)
We can't see it though, right? So that's one thing that Bob teaches is this really simple visual of the sick person to just bring order to what the mind is and knowing that that is like our connection, our spirit, right? But yes, you can use your mind to alter things of your physical body and of your physical world. I mean, the power is really incredible and it's amazing what we can do.

Jessie Ott (20:43)
Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (20:46)
so, our thoughts become things, right? So harnessing and taking control over the thoughts that we have and what we allow to seep into our subconscious mind is so important and crucial.

Jessie Ott (20:58)
So.

I'm an entrepreneur. Let's use me as an example. What's the process? I call you and we do an intro and we just see if there's something that we can work together on.

Jeni Jonte (21:00)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, absolutely. So most of the time the people that I'm gonna work with are, like I said, they're feeling stuck or frustrated with something. So usually it's they're not getting the results that they really desire, right? Or maybe they're already successful, but they want to move on to the next level, you know, or several levels above, you know. So.

Jessie Ott (21:29)
Okay. Is success,

could it be, I want to lose 10 pounds or is it really driven to be more business sort of driven?

Jeni Jonte (21:34)
It's a-

So it could be anything. tend to focus mostly on the business side of

most of the people that I work with are either just feeling stuck or maybe they've been at the same level of income for the last five years and they're ready to move on. They're ready to have bigger success. Success is determined by the individual, right? What does success mean for you? So I think you had mentioned before, is it like losing weight as well? That could absolutely be, but so we use the term.

releasing weight because if you lose something, you're going to go find it and it's going to come back to you. But, yeah, well, it really does. So that goes into like the cybernetics of it, but we can get there in a second. But, yeah. So looking at, know, what are your goals, right? That's the biggest thing is trying to figure out what are your goals? What are your biggest desires? Your biggest wants.

Jessie Ott (22:16)
That's awesome. I like it. Releasing weight. Yes. Maybe that mindset will help.

Jeni Jonte (22:41)
And then seeing if, yes, are we a good fit? Could this be a good match? Would I be able to help you reach those things? But even if we focus primarily on the business side of things, the other areas of people's lives that we see improvement on is really amazing. Like relationships improve, relationship with yourself as well as relationship with others. Their health might improve, like all of these other things just because you're working on.

your mindset and even if your goals are geared around your financial or your business success, you're still probably going to see some pretty big improvements in other areas as well.

Jessie Ott (23:17)
Yeah, I would think if you're changing the way you're thinking in terms of processing and you're thinking in more positive terms, whatever it might be, and just for just the simple word of releasing, just changing those words, subconsciously changes it from positive to negative to positive, right? And so you're emanating that positivity. I could totally see that.

Jeni Jonte (23:23)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yep, absolutely. And that goes along with so a part of what we teach and help people with is so that idea of cybernetics, right? If you've read the book, Psycho Cybernetics, or you have not yet, I highly recommend it. It's amazing. But so that dives really into the topic of like our self image, right? But if we think of ourselves and if you look at your own income and what you've had, you probably are kind of in in a range.

Jessie Ott (23:57)
No. Okay.

Jeni Jonte (24:11)
Right, you have like a bottom and a top and it never really dips below that and it never really goes above that. It's kind of in a range because we have programmed ourselves for this amount, right? So if you're going to try to go above that, lots of different things are gonna kick in to bring you back down. Like maybe you have a really good month, the next month might not be that good and you're gonna end up evening out again right around here.

So the key is we have to reframe, we have to change that subconscious programming. And it doesn't happen overnight, of course, but as long as you have persistence and you do the things that you need to do to retrain that, it's really possible to now see yourself as, know, say you were making $10,000 a month, but you really desire to make $100,000 a month. Now, some people might look at you cross-eyed and be like, that's impossible. There's no way you could make that leap.

Jessie Ott (24:44)
Yeah.

You

Jeni Jonte (25:06)
But I think it's absolutely 100 % possible and I have seen it happen from, you know, yes, from not just people that I've worked with, but also colleagues and other people that I know. mean, when you start to hear more and more stories and seeing these things really come to fruition, it builds your own beliefs. And I've come to understand our belief system is probably one of the most important things.

Jessie Ott (25:12)
Nice.

Jeni Jonte (25:32)
that we need to address if we want to make big changes. So you probably have beliefs you don't even know that you have. I know I've started, I probably say, I don't know, within the last year and a half especially, started really diving more into trying to understand what beliefs I hold and how they're putting limitations on me. Because things like,

Jessie Ott (25:41)
Interesting.

Jeni Jonte (25:57)
You know, like the statement I just made, can you go from 10,000 a month to 100,000 a month? In the past, I would have been like, there's no way. Nobody can make that kind of a leap. And even if I said out loud, like, that's really cool. Yeah, I'm sure that could happen inside. I know I would be saying you're full of shit. Like that's not gonna happen, right? My subconscious mind would be like, this doesn't exist.

Jessie Ott (26:15)
Right. Yeah, that can happen.

Jeni Jonte (26:23)
But now I've come to understand that I need to change. So you have to have the beliefs for what you want before you even have it, right? Which is so hard for some people to do, to look beyond our current reality, our current circumstance to the circumstance that you desire and build the belief and the self image for that before you even have it, right?

Jessie Ott (26:32)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, so that's interesting. So what are these exercises? Like, can you give examples of like how a person can make that transition and what kind of time it takes to do that?

Jeni Jonte (27:01)
Yeah, so the time is tricky because each person is going to be coming from a very different place, right? Some of us might have beliefs that have been so ingrained in us from the moment we were born that we have a very hard time retraining, right? Or building new beliefs and or building a new self-image because our self-image is another really huge part of that.

how we see ourselves. Like, do we see ourselves as successful? Do we see ourselves as a person who can make a hundred K a month? Like, what do you see yourself as? And a lot of these things we're not even aware of, right? Like we don't even know that they exist. So I've seen some people be able to catch onto this and just like, it seems like overnight they can just change their beliefs and it's really amazing.

Jessie Ott (27:57)
That is pretty cool.

Jeni Jonte (27:57)
and they have really quick,

huge success and it's so cool to see, but there's so many of us that it doesn't happen that quickly because we might have more things that we have to work through. There might be more deep seated things that we weren't aware were there. You know, it just, really depends on your past and what your experience and your journey has been so far. The average though, and why, so like the two main things that I do are like the two different six month programs.

Jessie Ott (28:06)
Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (28:26)
So you could either just do the first one for six months and you can get some really good amazing results in those six months. Or if you continue, you can do a whole year. And then there's lots of little ones after that. But even in that six month timeframe, you should be able to see some pretty clear changes.

Jessie Ott (28:46)
So is that reading books and watching videos, meeting with you once a week? Like what does that program look like?

Jeni Jonte (28:52)
So there are videos to watch often. There's a combination of group coaching sessions as well as some one-on-one calls as well. And then there are definitely exercises to do on your own time as well to make sure that you're getting the most out of it.

Jessie Ott (29:10)
That's really cool. And so how do people find you?

Jeni Jonte (29:14)
So the best place to go is bringonpossible.com and then all of my links and everything is there.

Jessie Ott (29:22)
Okay, awesome. Well, that's really cool. I definitely want to do it, but I don't have the bandwidth yet. Launching companies is excruciating against time, right?

Jeni Jonte (29:28)
Let's do it.

Mmm.

It can be, but see that's your belief, right? look at that. You believe that it's going to take. So that's another thing I love to challenge people on. Can you do more with less time?

Jessie Ott (29:38)
Yeah.

There we go. We have something to work on.

Can you do more with less time? Well, I'm sure it's possible, but right now I'm attributing 21,000 rows of data. Unless I use AI, there's no faster way. then between the video, I'd spend 10 to 15 hours per episode on a podcast. I don't know, unless I hire someone, don't really, where else does that time go?

Jeni Jonte (29:53)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

That, well, that's

absolutely true, right? Like delegating or finding. I know that's something I have to challenge myself with because especially when I was, you know, still trying to work as a physical therapist and do coaching, cause I had some overlap there before I completely was able to get let go of the physical therapy profession. But we were also homeschooling, ⁓ which we still do.

Jessie Ott (30:19)
Yeah.

Dovin'.

wow.

Jeni Jonte (30:42)
But so, you know, building a business while going out and seeing patients and homeschooling and teaching at one of the enrichment programs that they went to and everything that I was doing and I just, but I still made it work, right? So we just, had to find ways to reallocate my time. I did have to before I thought it was ready, I had to hire an assistant.

Jessie Ott (30:51)
wow.

Jeni Jonte (31:06)
Even though in the beginning I might not have been making any money, but I knew that if I wanted to make it work and go to where I needed to go, I had to have help. So I found ways to do it and it's really challenging, but we all have to find what's going to be best for us, right? But those minutes are there somewhere for whatever it is that we desire to do.

Jessie Ott (31:15)
Yes. Yeah.

Yeah, fair. It's a trade off, right? It's kind of one for the other.

Jeni Jonte (31:32)
It is, yes. But I also

found, I thought that I was really busy, but I wasn't really, I thought I was being productive, but I really wasn't in a lot of areas. So I taking up a lot of time.

Jessie Ott (31:44)
Fair. Yes. I'm sure we could all evaluate

on that. Like I wish I had like five minutes a day, I'd allocate to reading jokes and just laugh for five minutes. Like that would be fun. Yeah. I should do that because I have a newsletter and I'm always looking for good jokes and you know, industry if I can. And that would just make me laugh.

Jeni Jonte (31:56)
I love that. You should do that. Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Jessie Ott (32:09)
You know, then I'd have a joke to tell my friends every time I saw them, you know? It's just kind of fun.

Jeni Jonte (32:13)
Yeah.

Well, it is fun. then see that's raising your vibration. That's putting you in a great place. So maybe even before you start your work, just read jokes and have some fun and then use that as you go into it. Absolutely.

Jessie Ott (32:26)
Yeah. Giggle. Yeah.

I like this. We're making progress, Jeni. ⁓ man, this is really, really cool. your focus is really the entrepreneurial. Is it startup to corporate? Is it anybody?

Jeni Jonte (32:36)
Already! I love it!

Yeah, it really can be anybody. I thought for a long time, because you know, the people tell you, you got to niche down until there's like, you've eliminated everything. I don't know. I, but that never settled well with me. I could never be that limiting. So I really keep it open to a quite honestly, anybody who I think is a good fit that I could help.

Jessie Ott (32:51)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (33:13)
100 % happy to help them. Yes, but you know, just focusing primarily on the business owners and entrepreneurs at this time, but any level of their journey, I think, which is part of the fun, right? Because if I only, I mean, there was even people that are like, you should niche down to people who are making this income for you. And I'm like, well, that just doesn't save money. It's just not me. This is my soapbox for the day.

Jessie Ott (33:14)
100 % there.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's more. Yeah,

I agree with you. Cause that doesn't really matter. It should be about what they want more than what they're make. Cause that's arbitrary. Some people are happy. Some people are happy with different amounts. So that, that doesn't seem. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (33:45)
Mm-mm.

Yes, yes, it is arbitrary. Thank you.

Exactly. Yes.

And I love helping people who are like early in their journey, as well as people who have already seen great success, but they're ready to go further. You know, like there's, there's such a beautiful spectrum and it's really fun to see all the different parts of the journey. Right. But, and I always go back to, so anybody who is familiar with Bob Proctor, if you go to the Proctor Gallery or Institute website, I mean, the first thing they say is show me what you want and I'll show you how to get it.

Jessie Ott (34:06)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Jeni Jonte (34:25)
Tell me what you want, I'll show you how to get it. It's like how vague is that, right? But it has just, it is true because no matter what it is that we're working on, this material working on your mindset is like the key behind all of it, right? So it really doesn't matter what industry you're working in. It doesn't matter where you are on your business journey.

Jessie Ott (34:27)
Nice.

Wait, it's true. It's very simple.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (34:54)
but

just the fact that you have a desire for more, that you want to grow, have this, you know, something inside of you telling you that you are meant for something bigger than where you're at, then let's make it happen.

Jessie Ott (34:58)
Mm-hmm.

You know, I see this a lot. I don't see it because I'm not a recruiter, but my wife's and I are one of our besties here in Dallas. She started her own business and she helps people transition from careers to new careers. And that's a big mindset, right? That's a big change. And I could see where someone like you could really benefit to what she's offering ⁓ because, you know, she doesn't...

Jeni Jonte (35:13)
haha

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It is.

Mm-hmm.

Jessie Ott (35:36)
really have the extra bandwidth to be the cheerleader. mean, I'm sure she is in many cases, but she's more the resume writer. Let's get you ready to transition into a new career. And that is a really hard thing to do. And you're right in that sweet spot where people are wanting something different. see themselves doing something different. So how do we get there? And what does that look like?

Jeni Jonte (35:46)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I love that

too, like being able to translate your experience to like look good on a resume for whoever that next person is. I know for veterans, that's a huge thing that there's a lot of help for that. Because they have all this experience in the military and it is legit experience, but it doesn't look exactly like, you know, what the...

Jessie Ott (36:16)
Yeah.

Right.

It doesn't translate. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (36:22)
the corporate world, yes,

exactly. So that doesn't discount all of this amazing thing that they've done, right? So, but being able to find a way to translate that into, look at how accomplished I am. Look at all of these great assets that I have and then how those can be, you know, a power for whatever that next career path is. Like for me, shifting from

being a physical therapist to a coach, like it's very different, but it isn't at the same time, right?

Jessie Ott (36:55)
Yeah, you're

still coaching people to do the right exercises and make sure they do it. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (37:01)
absolutely. Yes. And I felt

like there were so many times where our PT sessions were more, I don't mean this in like a, but more like psychology sessions, like just as you know, they would come to me and there was always usually much more going on than just whatever the physical was, right? Which is another piece of this, right? But I didn't know that.

Jessie Ott (37:19)
Yes. Right. Yep.

Be emotional.

Jeni Jonte (37:26)
as much at the time. Yeah, so many different emotions and mindsets around their injury and how that's impacted their life and, you know, whatever it is that they were going through. So I spent more time almost, you know, encouraging just kind of doing this work already without even knowing it. Right. And then as I learned more, I can look back and see now like, wow, if only I had this information when I was treating these people.

Jessie Ott (37:43)
That's cool. Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (37:53)
what could we have done, right?

Jessie Ott (37:55)
So do you use it on your kids?

Jeni Jonte (37:57)
I do, an extent.

Jessie Ott (38:00)
Well, I don't know how old they are, but I mean, is that sort of a mindset of words and like how they understand what you're saying to translate into some more positive kind of mindset?

Jeni Jonte (38:13)
Yes, so we work on that a lot and like our self-talk, especially for our daughter. So our kids are nine and six. Our daughter is the older one. And I don't know if us women are just naturally like for this, but the negative self-talk that she started at such a young age, yes.

Jessie Ott (38:30)
Yes. It gets worse before it gets better.

Jeni Jonte (38:37)
So two ways, I try to just live it out as an example for them, but I also try to catch them anytime that they're saying something negative, know, like for a while for her it was math, like believing that she wasn't smart or good at math. And so just helping to show her how to reframe that, how to change that thinking. But it's funny that you say that I was actually gonna start teaching them like a...

our stick person and like understanding what the mind is and all of that stuff over the summer just kind of for fun. But yeah, but again, like our daughter needs to be a little bit more open. So I have to inject it carefully for her, right? Her son is a little bit more like, yeah, he's good with whatever. Like, that sounds great. Like I was giving him, that would be a big motivator for him.

Jessie Ott (39:10)
I think it'd be really cool.

Yeah.

Do I get a popsicle?

Jeni Jonte (39:33)
like I'll already tell him things to do to like tell himself repeatedly, right? Like if there's issues that he is having like behavioral stuff, you know, whatever. So I'm, I'm going to try to implement a lot of this with him actually, because he also has ADHD, which we learned recently. And so I'm, I'm kind of curious not to like use as an experiment, but I'm just curious if I can implement a lot of this with him.

Jessie Ott (39:50)
Okay.

Jeni Jonte (40:00)
and just see how as he gets older that looks, right? Yeah. So I'm definitely working on getting it into our lives regularly. Mm-hmm. I'll tell him you said that. ⁓

Jessie Ott (40:05)
If he can control it a little more. Yeah.

That's really cool. They're lucky kids. Yeah,

please do. That's awesome. So do you want to talk about your costs at all or is that kind of depending on the program that people do?

Jeni Jonte (40:22)
Mm-hmm.

sure that's fine um the two six month programs um well if you just do the first one sorry i'm finishing that cough job it's uh it's $10,500 actually it is it was like eucalyptus or something i don't know so

Jessie Ott (40:39)
No problem.

Sounds tasty. yeah, nice. ⁓

Jeni Jonte (40:53)
So

that one is 10,500 for the six months. But if you decide to do the additional one, then the two of them together is 18,000 for the full year. And then there's other smaller level programs. I have one, actually I have one that I'm really excited about that I'm gonna be releasing soon that I'm working with. She is an executive stylist, but.

Jessie Ott (40:57)
Okay.

Okay. Nice.

Jeni Jonte (41:22)
One thing that when it comes to self image, like one of the fastest ways to start changing your self image is actually by changing, you know, how you dress or like how you show up physically, because then that affects your persona. And so it was really interesting. We met her, like I met her on a podcast somewhere else. and so now we're coming together to do this, smaller program focused really around that self image.

Jessie Ott (41:32)
Yes.

Yeah.

Cool.

Jeni Jonte (41:50)
And that one will be, we haven't decided yet, but it'll be under 1500. And then there's another program that is just around money. And that one is gonna be priced at a $4,000, but that's a shorter program that's only about three months long. ⁓ And then there's some other just small things that people can pick up if they like.

Jessie Ott (42:07)
Okay.

Okay, very cool. And then after those programs are over, is there any kind of check-ins or anything that you do to kind of help people stay on the path?

Jeni Jonte (42:23)
Yeah, so well, I have a Facebook group that, you know, everybody actually I just started the Facebook group. So that's pretty new, only like a month ago or so. But that's definitely a place I want to make sure everybody who comes in can at least stay there for one thing. But then I also have right now it's on WhatsApp community so that we can have a direct communication as well, because I do think that.

Jessie Ott (42:45)
Okay.

Jeni Jonte (42:48)
two things. One, once somebody starts to get into this stuff, it's like they just want more, right? It's really, which is great. I mean, that's kind of how I was too, right? I'm just like, I love this. It's so exciting. So I want to make sure to be able to nurture that of people if they, you know, want more, one of the smaller programs, maybe whatever that is. Or then the other side of that is sometimes if you start to go on your own and you don't have that check-in anymore, then

Jessie Ott (42:51)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (43:14)
I don't want anybody to deviate back at all. So the goal for after going through even just if it's one six month program is to have permanent changes that you're not gonna yo-yo back, right? Like that's, we don't want that anymore. We don't want like the new year's resolution where we started to see improvement or, you I joined the gym and I went for a couple of weeks and then I just stopped, right? Like we don't want.

Jessie Ott (43:18)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Jeni Jonte (43:40)
that to happen,

this needs to be a permanent change. Yeah, but as I was saying before, if you're, you you've worked through all of these different things, but then you come further down the line and you start, it's like an onion, right? And now we've uncovered something else. So you might need a little bit of guidance there as well. So I never like fully just let people go, which is another reason why I have not yet done any programs or

Jessie Ott (43:43)
Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (44:08)
courses that you can just buy and do on your own. Because I know even from my own experience, when I've tried to do that, I don't really get as much out of it.

Jessie Ott (44:17)
Yeah, I don't know that this is one of those, it's such a different way of thinking and a different approach to things that I think it would be like, for me, I would rather have one-on-ones, you know, versus like the group things. And so I can totally see how, you know, you could watch videos for sure, you know, as part of the program, but I think that this would require you to hear

Jeni Jonte (44:24)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Jessie Ott (44:45)
certain things that we need to overcome, right? And then you got to tailor it to what those things are.

Jeni Jonte (44:46)
Mm-hmm.

Yes, and your personal need, right? So, and that's where again, like I was, before I started this, I was just consuming, right? As much information as I could, but I didn't know how to implement it because I was just taking in so much different information from so many different places, but I wasn't getting a change because I didn't know how to make it work for me, right? So, and that's really the key. like, so you have all this knowledge, right? In your conscious mind.

Jessie Ott (45:04)
Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (45:19)
but how do we make it work for you? And how do we adjust it for your specific circumstances and your specific self? Which is again, why I love, I just love the combination of all the pieces because having the videos that you can watch multiple times on your own really helps to start reprogramming things. Having exercises to make you start to get into deep thinking.

Jessie Ott (45:20)
Yeah.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

Jeni Jonte (45:47)
is also really important. I love the group session parts of it just because being around other like-minded people that are also driven and then you get to pick up from other people as well. You know, if it's all just me all the time, like that can get a little dull, right? So we get to...

Jessie Ott (45:58)
But yeah.

Or you

broaden your perspective and ideas. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (46:05)
Yes, yes. And you get

to see people because it's also the group sessions, they might not be at the same place that you are along with, yeah, along the path of the six months, because it doesn't all start at the same time. It's just a rolling enrollment. So you might be with somebody who's, you know, five lessons down from you. And so you get to hear and see what that might look like. And so it's really exciting.

Jessie Ott (46:22)
Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (46:31)
but then the one-on-one time so that you can say, okay, what are your personal specific questions that maybe you didn't feel comfortable bringing it up in the group, you know? So just being able to have all those pieces I think is really beautiful. I absolutely love it.

Jessie Ott (46:39)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's awesome. So do you feel like the resources that you were given in the Navy to when you kind of transitioned out, were they helpful for you? I've been told it's a little overwhelming to some degree because I think there's like 80,000 different organizations that want to help. So can you talk about that a little bit?

Jeni Jonte (47:05)
Mm-hmm.

So for me, I don't think that I utilized a lot of things right away. I've kind of learned as I needed them. ⁓ The first thing that I absolutely, they're still available. Absolutely. Yes, they're, and you're right. There is, let's talk about abundance. There's an abundance of things and resources that are available to you as you're coming out. ⁓

Jessie Ott (47:15)
Okay. And they're still available to you now, which is awesome.

That's awesome. That's

a lot of love for our troops and our servicemen and women. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (47:32)
It is, it is, yes, but you're right because

you need to know how to access them, right? And that's where it can become overwhelming. I have not had any trouble. Everything that I've needed, I've been able to find somebody I can contact to get help with making sure that I get it correctly. But the first thing that I made sure I had when I came out was being in the VA healthcare system. So that was number one for me.

Jessie Ott (47:38)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (48:02)
And then everything else I've just used as I needed it, right? Like getting a VA home loan, you know, like, and now utilizing the DAV to help with any like disability ratings, like all of these different things. There's so, there really is so much. And actually there's even a, what do they call it? Vetrepreneur. But they even do free classes, yes, for veterans that want to, or starting an entrepreneur.

Jessie Ott (48:22)
that's cool. Nice.

Jeni Jonte (48:29)
becoming an entrepreneur. So there's even resources for that as well. So yeah, but you're right. It is a lot and it can be overwhelming. So I think focusing in on what things you will need the most and learning more about those and just kind of taking it as you go.

Jessie Ott (48:32)
That's great.

As you go.

Is there any particular skill sets or things that you think about from your days of service that translate into helping you with your business today?

Jeni Jonte (48:58)
I think adaptability would probably be the biggest. Anytime that you thought you knew what you were doing or where you were going, things could change last minute, right? And being able to be flexible and go with the flow of that has been really important for me. I think I used to be a lot more, I've always been a little bit easygoing, but in certain areas I was very rigid.

Jessie Ott (49:01)
Hmm.

Heh. Heh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (49:26)
this has to happen now. And I would say that my time definitely increased my patience and understanding and being able to shift when things were not exactly how we thought they might be.

Jessie Ott (49:28)
Hehehehehe

Yeah, well, well put. So

do you have any mentors that you want to mention that you've had along the way?

Jeni Jonte (49:48)
Yeah, well, I still consider Bob to be my biggest mentor. Even though he's not physically with us anymore, I can still feel his presence. I know that he is here watching over us all the time. Yes, yes. ⁓ But aside from him, Brian Mattson has been a huge mentor for me. And Polly Hawn is another person that I talk to a lot and really respect her.

Jessie Ott (49:59)
He's your guiding light. He brought you to... Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (50:16)
And then just people that I enjoy listening to that I don't work with directly, but I love listening to Kathleen Cameron. If you are not familiar with her, I would, I would look her up. You would love her. She's, she's absolutely incredible. And then Karen Brooke, I love listening to as well. And Kim Calvert. So those are a few people that I really enjoy. They're in the same, you know, kind of line of work.

Jessie Ott (50:28)
Okay, all right.

Jeni Jonte (50:46)
as well. And I know there's so many more, but those are kind of the big people that come to mind.

Jessie Ott (50:52)
Yeah, that's awesome. What about resources? I know you mentioned a book I need to read. Is there other books or resources or YouTube videos or anything that you would recommend to kind of get intro people to what you're doing?

Jeni Jonte (50:57)
haha

Yeah, absolutely. mean, I have a YouTube channel I started that was new this year as well. So we're working on growing that. So some of these concepts are I'm teaching on there as well. always I mean, any teachings from Bob I absolutely love. I think his way of teaching was really remarkable. books, you know, everyone should definitely rethink and grow rich. I think that's just such

He lays it out so well, Napoleon Hill, in that book. Psycho-Cybernetics, I already mentioned, but also Neville Goddard, if you haven't read any of his work, I really love. It's a little deep and kind of, it can take a few reads to really get into it, but his just...

Jessie Ott (51:43)
Okay.

Jeni Jonte (51:57)
connected so many things for me. I really love his work. So that's that's another person I highly recommend.

Jessie Ott (52:01)
Okay.

Do you recommend listening to them from an audio standpoint? That's kind of how I get my information more than... Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (52:09)
You can do either.

I mean, there's even Neville got it. Like his book came out in.

I know, like 52, I think, 1952. But there's still recordings of him speaking. And I'm sure there's an audio version of the book somewhere. Yeah, yeah. I do a lot of audio books as well because I'm usually that multitasking, right? Listening while I'm listening while driving is a big one. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Jessie Ott (52:23)
Okay. Somebody's done it. Yeah.

It's right in the car, naked kid somewhere. Yeah. Walking,

I like to throw something on her biking or whatever. Yeah. Working out in the gym. I know it's kind of not motivating in some senses, but I like listening to podcasts.

Jeni Jonte (52:39)
Yes.

Mm-hmm. No, it's so funny. I have this thought every time because I'm like, anybody knew what I was listening to, they would think

I'm crazy because I'm usually listening to either one at like a trading video or I'm listening to like one of these, you know, always. That's what I have on while I... Yes.

Jessie Ott (53:00)
Yep. In the shower.

I mean, why not,

why not have, why not be learning all the time?

Jeni Jonte (53:10)
Yes,

and actually, you know what I have found though, because sometimes I'll listen to music while I'm working out, but especially even if I'm running or something, the music isn't enough to keep my mind preoccupied. It needs more stimulation. So if I'm listening to this stuff, it's so much deeper. My mind is much more preoccupied and I can forget about the discomfort of running.

Jessie Ott (53:21)
Yeah. Yeah.

You can follow it. Yep.

Yeah. Well,

that is, that is awesome. So what, what do you do in your, when you're, you're non-mom, non-work time? Do you have any time? No. Do you like to ride bike or go to the movies? Is there anything that you really enjoy outside of all the responsibilities?

Jeni Jonte (53:39)
Non mom time. Does that exist? That'll be in 10 years, but

Yeah, I

love, I mean, I do like going to the gym. That's kind of my personal time. Yeah, yeah, it's like my quiet time. So I can listen to these things without interruption and that kind of stuff. aside from that, just being in nature is probably the biggest thing for me. I don't do a lot of, you know, spa or that kind of stuff that just hasn't been my jam so much, but.

Jessie Ott (53:55)
Release. Yeah.

Jeni Jonte (54:14)
I love being able to go out. If I can go out and go for a walk or a hike or when it's warm, I love paddle boarding. I love being on the water. That's what I need to be by the water. ⁓ yeah, and that is how I recharge. And that is my favorite things to do.

Jessie Ott (54:18)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I'm wondering if maybe if you like to be on the water, Virginia might be a little safer because there's these things called alligators in Florida. I mean, we don't see too many paddleboarders in our neighborhood. We don't live on a lake. have lake, because we live in Lake Mary, so there's lakes everywhere. Don't see too many people paddleboarding and kayaking, but it sounds, it's so fun though. I love it too. Paddleboarding is so fun.

Jeni Jonte (54:40)
Ahahaha!

Right

Mmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

It's really fun.

And I love it because you could do, like you can make it a good workout or you can just like chill and enjoy. And yeah, I just love it.

Jessie Ott (55:02)
Yeah. Chill. Yeah.

That's awesome. So I know you're not from Colorado, but are you an Avalanche fan?

Jeni Jonte (55:12)
Mm-hmm.

No, no matter where I live, I'm always going to be a Chicago fan. So yeah.

Jessie Ott (55:16)
Okay. Okay. ⁓ I'm

from Iowa, so I'm always defaulting to Chicago. And then my mom's from Kansas City, so we're Cubbies and Royals and Chiefs fans and whatnot. But some other besties that we have here are Stars fans. And so I was going to show my... We've beaten overtime. you did? Okay.

Jeni Jonte (55:23)
Yeah.

Yep, yep. Well, I lived in Dallas for a little bit. I did, yeah. Yeah, that was our first job

out of PT school was in Dallas.

Jessie Ott (55:46)
Okay, a lot of places for that, for sure.

Jeni Jonte (55:49)
Mm-hmm, yeah, for Baylor was where we worked. Big system.

Jessie Ott (55:52)
Yeah. ⁓ the only

So is there anything else we haven't mentioned that you want to talk about in terms of your business or anything?

Jeni Jonte (55:59)
Gosh,

I mean I could talk about this stuff forever because I just love it so much, but I think we covered a pretty good

Jessie Ott (56:06)
Yeah, I do too.

Okay. Well, you know what? Thank you so much for joining me and I wish you all the luck and thank you for your service for sure. I'm glad all your trips were safe and you got to meet all those people from all over the world and hopefully, you know, you're still in touch with some of them because I'm sure that's been really fun to follow all their successes in life wherever they may be. You know? I know...

Jeni Jonte (56:18)
Thank you.

Yes. Yes.

Jessie Ott (56:36)
I went to grad school in France and so I'm in touch with people from not so much all over the world, but over Europe. And then, you know, it's been 20 years, so it's distant. But if I were to say, I'm going to Europe, people would be like, let's go, let's do it. So, yeah. All right. Well, I will let you get back to it, but thank you again for joining me.

Jeni Jonte (56:43)
Yeah.

I love that. That's awesome. Very cool.
