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

This time, Jennifer McGee is on the other side of the mic.

Her niece, Annika Lochhead, joins her in the studio and gets a chance to turn the tables a little. They talk about what Jennifer was really like as Aunt Jen, growing up in their family, old memories, her path into oil and gas, and a few stories that probably weren’t supposed to make it onto the podcast.

The conversation also gets personal as Jennifer and Annika talk about Debbie, Jennifer’s sister and Annika’s mom, and what losing her has taught them about time. Jennifer opens up about the things she wishes she had slowed down for; the ordinary moments she didn’t realize she would miss, and why she looks at time with the people she loves differently now.

Of course, they can’t stay serious for too long. There’s also a story about being left at Pizza Hut, another involving a cab, and a discovery about Grandma’s pumpkin pie that Annika clearly has not gotten over.

If you’ve listened to Jennifer interview everyone else, this episode is your chance to get to know her a little better.

In this episode:

• What Jennifer was really like as Aunt Jen
• The family experiences that shaped Jennifer and Annika
• Losing a sister, losing a mom and remembering the little things

• What Jennifer wishes she had made more time for earlier in life
