<![CDATA[The First 1%]]>The First 1% is for anyone in the early stages of something: a career, a business, a new role, a hard decision. No fluff. No hindsight bias. Just practical frameworks and honest takes from someone still in it.

Each episode walks a real zero to a first move, then ends with one action you can finish the same night.

I'm Jonathan. Here I share what's working, what's not, and the frameworks I'd use again.

In 2025 I ended up in the ER with appendicitis that was about to rupture. The doctor gave me two options and less than two minutes to choose. No time to overthink, no time for excuses. That's when it clicked: the biggest thing holding me back was me — and most of my fear came from not knowing the first step. That's why I built The First 1%. Everyone talks about getting 1% better every day, but you need the first 1% before any of that. On this show, real people walk through how they got started, what scared them, and the exact steps you can copy. If you're stuck at zero, you're in the right place. Start messy. Start now. 0:00 Welcome to The First 1% 0:12 Not taking care of myself 0:29 The ER: two options, two minutes 1:08 What stuck with me 1:24 The biggest thing holding me back 1:45 Not knowing the first step 2:09 Why I built The First 1% 2:18 Where the name came from 2:31 What this show is about Follow me: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathantjoandi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jontjoandi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jtjoandi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jonathantjoandi-n8l Newsletter: https://newsletter.thefirstonepercent.comno00:03:251Ep0 - Why The First 1%full
