Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.
Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
Hitting Corner 3s with Brady
On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my pal Brady, who I met when he was a site director for our school’s childcare provider, and who’s become a worthy beer pong opponent and one of my favorite homies. Here’s some of what we talk about:
First Question: What compelled you to work with kids professionally?
- where did Brady go to college, what did he major in, and what was his initial career path?
- how does he maintain his chill when a group of kids is jumping on his last nerve?
- why did Brady taking a liking to our family and what was it about our vibe that endeared us to him?
- what makes Brady such a killer beer pong player and where did he get his reps?
- we talk ball! where did he play on the floor? how’s his speed? his hops (can he dunk?) his 3-ball? his statline?
- we talk about Brady’s old man and what he’s like
- why making kids a “good hang” is a valuable goal as a parent and an educator
- life in a small town, why Brady was tagged as a “city kid” from an early age, and why he loves Denver, including one of his favorite concerts at Cervantes
- we talk about Brady’s ultimate Southern feast, his grandpa and his love of sweet tea
- his personal take on our school closing and how it impacted him
- why getting a start in a new place is so liberating
- Brady’s NBA predictions – Lakers, Cavs, Celtics, Nuggets, Thunder, and more!
- Brady’s advice for what it is to be a good dude
