Random follow #230 - @jonoboswell

A free and radical spirit would be one way to describe a gentleman who has devoted his life to serving others.  Okay in serving others there is quite a bit of shine that you get when you're a lawyer.  But ultimately the purpose of the profession is to serve others.  And that is just what @jonoboswell does.  And does well.

But being a lawyer is only one part of Jono and his life.  The other part which he describes himself as is an entrepreneur.  This is an interesting mix.  The lawyer on one side who understands complexity, procedure and compliance while on the other hand the entrepreneur is looking for possibility, opportunity and big shiny new things.

So whats to like?  Well he's an optimist with a fantastic outlook on life - 

"It's a blue sky Monday."

He's also only twitter when he has something to say or share.  So there is a particular value to his tweets.  When he posts something it's worth pausing your timeline for a minute and taking in what he has posted.  And he posts tweets on a whole range of items.  From the law -

"Great blog post about the future of legal services http://www.elephantcreative.co.uk/2013/07/31/legal-entrepreneurship/ …"

To good advice for everyone -

"Practical advice for entrepreneurs from @entrepreneurhq1: "I get hit, I get up...”

Occasionally he gives you a little glimpse into his homelife.  Not much but just a slight opening of the day for you to peer through.  Like this tweet which speaks way more volumes about someone than 1,000 other pointless tweets - 

"Hello Monday. I love the eagerness my children show for getting into the day...
when it is still really the middle of the night"

Jono has more going on than just his twitter account.  He also has a very funky blog which has some really neat posts on it.  And like his twitter timeline there are items of both interest and value on there.  I recommend taking a wander over and having a look.  It really is quite a neat blog and you can find it here -

So here's my description of @jonoboswell in 15 words or less - dad, lawyer, entrepreneur, optimist, nice guy, free thinker, risk taker, smart, intelligent, caring, understanding, persistent.  And the best way to sum up @jonoboswell is with a tweet of his own -

"Twitter is always full of hidden gems"
