Show notes:

Most people know Jason Glass as “The Hoverboard Guy” from his online presence, but there’s a lot more to his story than that.

In this episode of The O&G Spot, Jennifer sits down with Jason to talk about his life story. They cover his move from California to Texas, his career transition into the pipeline industry, and how his personal struggles led him to be a light for so many viewers online.

They also get into starting over completely: showing up to industry events with a $200 a month stipend, volunteering his way into associations, and why he thinks you have to touch somebody five times before they become your friend. And of course, they cover the haters, the wipeouts, and the second phone he had to buy just for TikTok after getting banned six times.

In this episode:

• The story behind "Jason the Hoverboard Guy"
• How COVID and TikTok unexpectedly changed Jason's life
• Lessons learned from addiction, recovery, and personal setbacks
• How a call from his son became a life-changing wake-up moment
• Why health became Jason's foundation for success
• The reality of dealing with criticism on social media
• Tips for networking and creating opportunities in the energy industry
• The mindset that keeps him focused on the present rather than the past or future
