MEET JONAH

Hi, I'm Jonah Larkin.

As an executive coach, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for personal growth, I've had the privilege of working with incredible individuals from professional athletes to multi-billion dollar hedge-fund managers, guiding them toward their highest potential both personally and professionally.

But my story is more than just a professional one; it's a tale of resilience, evolution, and a burning desire to make a difference.

“Not only did Jonah support me to safely navigate where I had been sabotaging myself, he helped me to identify my superpower, let go of the tethers that had felt like umbilicals, and distill the chaos to meaning and purpose. ”

- Scott Forman, CEO Third Rock MD

My entrepreneurial journey began with humble roots. I always had this desire to make money. Even as an 8 year old kid I had the entrepreneurial drive when I began selling NFL football pencils to my friends in grade school. This drive continued into my teenage and college years where I experimented with a sustainable fashion brand.

Those early experiences taught me about business, managing people, product-market fit, and the importance of teamwork.

In my early twenties I started and grew a small retail business into a successful online platform that was competing with giants like Zappos in their early days. However, I faced a pivotal decision: when to sell. Looking back, I sometimes regret that I didn't hold on longer and leverage the tech we'd built to create something even greater.

But that decision led me down a new path, one that I am profoundly grateful for today.

BIOGRAPHY

PRIOR TO MY COACHING LIFE I WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR.

After a successful sale and exit from my company, I went on a round-the-world journey of self discovery that led me to the realization that I was put on this earth to heal.

I started by becoming a licensed acupuncturist and helped clients with everything from obesity to chronic fatigue and pain. I collected numerous other health certifications, including in nutrition and fitness.

And then one day I had a moment of revelation after a client said to me that the reason she kept coming back was because of the conversations we were having. She told me I had helped to change her life not just nutritionally, but holistically as a whole.

I helped her to see patterns that she could not see, which changed all areas of her life.

It was around the same time that I “accidentally” landed a facilitator position at the famed Interpersonal Dynamics Program at Stanford University, Graduate School of Business where I lead groups of MBA students to build personal effectiveness and self awareness.

At that stage, the writing on the wall was clear: it was time to become an executive coach. I had discovered my passion lay in guiding others toward success and have been doing that ever since.

I now equip wildly ambitious leaders and teams with the tools and guidance to create positive change, not just in their organizations but in the world at large.

I've been fortunate to work with high-growth executives at companies like Turo, Discord, Alltrails, AWS and more. I’ve worked with professional athletes and top executives from major corporations like Wells Fargo. I also moonlight as the head leadership columnist for TechStars, which allows me to share my insights and contribute to the growth of the tech industry as a whole.

I specialize in leadership coaching and consulting because I believe in a world where the greatest minds of our time collaborate to find solutions, much like we did to achieve the moon landing, which is an example of what we can achieve when our greatest minds work together.
