Corporate Dropout & Magic Parking Spots: Jon Karr Gets Real (Mostly)

On this week’s “Been Trying to Meet You,” we welcome Jon Karr, Philly’s photographer, filmmaker, and former corporate ladder-climber who threw his suit out the window (figuratively) to go full freelance. Jim and Robb get the inside scoop on Jon’s wild ride from boardrooms to balancing life with three kids, a wife, and a job that has him playing Scrabble on the regular to keep his sanity. Things get real about those “fun” pandemic times, growing up in Tennessee (hot chicken that’s too hot to handle), and Jon’s very suspiciously accurate math skills (who is he fooling?). There’s also a mystical parking spot, a disappearing guy named Steve, and a promise that no schoolwork was harmed in the making of this episode. Prepare to laugh, and maybe even shed a tear (or was that just from the fake hot chicken?).
