Hi everybody, my name is Remy. Welcome to the For The Love Podcast with your host,

Jen Hatmaker, my mom. She writes books and speaks to

cows, but she mostly loves talking to amazing people on this podcast every week.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoyed the show.

Hey everybody, Jen Hatmaker here, your host of the For The Love Podcast, really glad that you are here today. Welcome to the show.

So we are in a series right now called For The Love of Powerhouse Women. I'm assuming the title of the series will tell you all you need to know if you haven't already been listening.

We're just talking to some of the greats right now. Honestly, some of the smartest, most inspiring women out there right now in every sector.

We've got them in business and we have them in public service and they're kind of just all over the map. And I mean these are just women who are killing it. That's kind of the short story.

So wait until you meet our next guest. I am excited to put her in front of you. She is in data powerhouse who has overcome, which we'll talk about, and then also accomplished just so much in her young years.

So her name is Nona Jones and she is a national speaker and author. And right now she is the head of faith-based partnerships at this little startup company that you may or may not have heard of called Facebook.

So before she got to Facebook, Nona actually held executive leadership roles all across the private and public and nonprofit sectors. In fact, she was actually appointed to an executive role in a Fortune 100 company when she was 23 years old. Wait until you hear how she got that job. I mean, it's pretty gutsy.

Like I just grand through the whole story. So she's led award winning initiatives in public affairs. She has broken multi-million dollar business deals. She's addressed the United Nations.

She's championed juvenile justice and educational policy reform up in Congress. I mean all under the age of 35. So I mean she is a heavy hitter.

So naturally and obviously essence magazine named her an under 40 woman to watch. So real honor. And if she wasn't already just full enough, she and her husband lead a church together in Gainesville, Florida.

And they have two beautiful sons. You're going to want to go look up and choose their family because it's like belongs on a magazine cover. So she is impressive and smart and wise and godly. And I loved this conversation with her. I just felt my own soul felt nourished by it. And so I think you're really going to be just encouraged and inspired by her approach to life and success and how humble and generous and sincere she is.

And so excited to introduce you to her. Really happy that you've downloaded this one today. You guys please to share my conversation with a very, very wonderful known agenda.

All right. So no, no such a warm welcome to you. Welcome to the For the Love podcast. I'm tickled that you're on today.

Thank you so much for having me. This is a true honor. Thank you.

Oh, my gosh. Listen, you've just flown in. You haven't slept. You're like in the clothes, probably were yesterday. I mean, you're just a star. Thanks for squeezing this in. I am so serious.

I'm not recording video because you would be like, what is happening with her? She does not have a sister.

Oh, look, if podcasts had to be recorded, I would not be the host of one. I mean, that is just a fact.

Always sitting here like in yesterday's yoga pants. Yeah. And yeah, this is not a video situation. So we're both in good shape. So listen, no, no, I have filled in my listeners with a little bit about who you are.
