About the Host
Jim is best described as an influential marketer and self-taught podcaster of his craft. Most do not know that he began podcasting on a whim with inspiration from his family and a desire to share his love of the craft for over 10 years. His enthusiasm for podcasting comes from the meaningful connections made through Freemasonry that have helped share perspectives about Freemasonry across the globe. To date, Jim’s podcast has been heard by 10’s of thousands of people in over 120 countries. The experience and time spent studying Freemasonry has helped Jim gain confidence that was not there before. Anchoring himself in the principles of Freemasonry unlocked the confidence that led him to run and gain the elected position to his Village Council and serve a 4-year term. He loves discussing all things Masonry and how each journey is different but aimed at the same principles.
Jim lives, works, and podcasts in East Palestine, Ohio. He has been a Mason for 10 years now. He is happily married to his wife Bree and has two wonderful sons Jack & Brock. When he is not traveling he enjoys family time, reading, & coaching football at East Palestine High School.
