"Getting real with JP Emerson! Thanks for having me, let's do it again!" - Joe Zolper

“What started as a fifteen minute introduction turned into a ninety minute adventure. This wasn’t my first meet and greet but it was by all accounts, the most in depth and enjoyable conversation about myself I have ever had with someone I had just met. JP’s easy going demeanor immediately put me at ease as I found myself deep in my memories dusting off stories I had all but lost and wondering afterwards how he managed to take me there.”   -AutoWire
