Who Is My Mom When Sober? - Jon Thor Sigurleifsson

It’s amazing how blind you can be to certain problems when they’re too close to you. Jon Thor Sigurleifsson, an Icelandic entrepreneur, public speaker, musician and writer, didn’t see the first signs of substance abuse in his own family, but when they became overwhelming, he was forced to ask some difficult questions, such as how long had this really been going on? And crucially, if help was sought, what would the person emerging from the other side really look like? Jon Thor joins Paul today to discuss this difficult and fascinating topic. ABOUT THE GUEST  A self-described ‘Corporate Punk & Creative Nerd’ Jon Thor is an Icelandic entrepreneur, public speaker, musician and writer looking to make a real impact in the world. Having grown up in a small place like Iceland, Jon Thor always knew he wanted to explore the world and after working various jobs, including acting, caretaking and sales, he decided to make the leap and move abroad. Entering into a career in technology sales and marketing turned out to be a surprise success which led Jon to live in the UK, US and Spain, before venturing out on his own; working with start-ups and speaking on stage, including TEDxFarnham Al this embraced within an initial broad focus, and brought together with the simple idea that the answers to better business, better sales and a better life all lie within asking better questions.
