Welcome to Episode 139 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Jon Schram, founder and CEO of The Purple Guys, an IT services company that provides IT solutions and support for small businesses. Jon calls himself “an unintentional serial entrepreneur” who understands that the entrepreneurial journey “often feels like a roller coaster.” He talks with us about the special technology challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has created for small businesses, including the need for added communication and security awareness.



Jon also shares with us his own experience as an entrepreneur, how his company was able to adapt so they could meet the needs of clients whose employees are now working remotely, and how he keeps himself, his staff and his company focused on their goals. We also learn how his company — The Purple Guys — got its name!

– Why you cannot over-communicate when there is uncertainty
– About the need to focus on the things you can actually control
– How to adapt your work processes when exceptions occur
– The basics of IT security for remote workers
– The importance of keeping everyone connected when employees aren’t in the office
