About Jon Hanson

A 24-year veteran and student of the real estate business and now a full-time author and speaker on topics of personal finance, Jon Hanson talks from the heart — literally; he barely survived his own “near-debt experience” a few years ago and used the lessons he learned to mine a deeper joy out of the dysfunctional monetary habits and attitudes that nearly cost him his life. Stressed, demoralized, nearly $100,000 in debt to the IRS, and suffering severe chest pains, Hanson imagined his own obituary while hooked to a heart monitor at his local emergency room:

“Jon Hanson (41) of Pickerington, Ohio, died Tuesday from complications stemming from lack of discipline, inability to delay gratification, and lack of discernment in financial matters. He showed great promise early in life. Unfortunately, he expired before much could be made of it.”

Fortunately, there's been no need for the obit. Jon has lived on to write Good Debt, Bad Debt which he hopes will spare others from the trauma he experienced while suffering from extreme "debtabetes, and inspire folks to rise above the financial mistakes made by virtually everybody in today's immediate-gratification consumer culture.

Prior to devoting himself to writing and speaking on the dangers of Debtabetes and other scourges of the land, Jon's full-time business was real estate. Jon has worked almost exclusively with distressed property situations since 1981. In the second half of his real estate career, most of Jon's effort was concentrated on more than 120 foreclosure work-outs, judicial foreclosure of liens, judgments, and disposition of bankruptcy claims.

Jon holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the State University of New York, and MBA from Franklin University. He lives with his wife Nita, an IP Attorney, and two children, a wiener dog, and near zero consumer debt.

Oops. I changed the name of a couple "discussions" and learned a hard lesson: that also changes the links. (Won't do that again.)

As a result, here are corrected links to two pages that might help:

1. How to Make the Most of Your SpeakerSite Profile.

2. How to Spread the Word About SpeakerSite.

And, while I'm at it, here's another:

3. How to Win Free Featured Status for a Month.

Thanks!

Jon, welcome to SpeakerSite!

I love your profile! We have to get you in front of more audiences.

Rob and I have been watching and learning how this all works and we see that some profiles get longer looks. Check here for some best practices -- and to suggest some best practices of your own.

Let's make this as valuable for you (and all) as possible. Please spread the word. The more, the merrier -- the more public speaking opportunities we attract. (If you use the Invite function, you'll amass Keynote Award points.) Here are some tips on spreading the word.

Thank you!
