About the speaker
Jonathan is a maker, teacher, advisor, and leader whose career spans founding venture-backed tech startups in Silicon Valley (see https://storenvy.com) and launching a large-scale Burning Man theme camp (https://hotellobby.camp). Creativity, teaching, and community have always been in his DNA—whether he’s speaking and mentoring entrepreneurs around the world or rolling up his sleeves for his own projects.
He cut his teeth in the mid-2000s by founding a web design shop, rubbing elbows with some of the brightest lights in the KC design world before embarking on a decade-long startup hustle in San Francisco (where the coffee is as abundant as brilliant ideas). Now back in KC, he’s excited to elevate the community of creatives and creators, and he’s been a familiar face at CreativeMornings since the late 2000s in both KC and SF.
Local partners
Gorgeously designed rooms and suites help define the Crossroads experience. But more, this is where historic and modern meet. Where people from all over and around the corner come together. The energy, creativity and passion that define the city and neighborhood can call this place home. Crossroads, just like Kansas City, is at its core about community and connection. At every turn, we tapped local artists, designers and purveyors to share their talent and creativity with us in places public and private.
We create excellent, artisan-level roasts from the best coffees available while taking care of our coffee farmers in a way that goes above and beyond the status quo. We are head over heels for discovering new coffees, artfully coaxing out the best characteristics of the bean for you to enjoy. Messenger Coffee is beyond fair trade sourced and manually roasted in Kansas City.
As a leader in Kansas City luxury real estate, our strengths lie in human connections. Our brand’s ethos is rooted in the belief that real estate is about transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is akin to the process of alchemy, where elements are transmuted into something extraordinary. At Element Sotheby’s International Realty, we strive to provide unparalleled real estate experiences that exceed our clients’ expectations. Our focus is not just on buying or selling properties but on creating a truly exceptional experience that transforms people’s lives.
