Jonny, no one in their right mind uses as many exclamation points as you do. I say that in the best possible way. Your energy is genuine and infectious. That's rare, my friend. I remember walking through Chicago with you one night like 15 years ago and it was like I was walking with the mayor of Chicago. Everyone wanted to say hi, and you knew (and laughed) with every one of them. It was something to behold!! Keep up the energy and good vibes that make everyone around you feel great. (as if i needed to tell you that. lol) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is rare to find someone who is willing to help out a fellow human and collaborator in the way that Jonny does. When you ask him if he can help with something, he genuinely takes a moment and almost always takes a concrete action. Thank you for being so generous to others in the impact space! You set a true example for others.

I really appreciate how much Jonny cares about connecting people. He's always making thoughtful introductions and is genuinely willing to help however he can. It's pretty incredible. He's basically the mayor of New York, as I like to say.

Jonny, thank you for always showing up with such warmth, positivity, and enthusiasm! From day one, you've been an incredible supporter of RLC's work in food recovery and hunger relief. Through our partnership with CLOZTALK and your passion for connecting people and causes, you've created countless opportunities for people to rally around shared purpose while bringing together an amazing community of individuals who genuinely want to make a difference. Always inspired by your energy and grateful for your friendship!

Some people make the world brighter simply by showing up. Jonny is one of those rare humans. He leads with generosity, optimism, and a belief that people deserve to be celebrated. It’s just science… he makes us all smile. I’m grateful he put OpenThanks out into the universe. In a world that often moves too fast to say “thank you,” he’s created a space that reminds us gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s something worth sharing. The ripple effect of appreciation is real. Thank you, Jonny, for being so much love and light, and for inspiring the rest of us to recognize the people who help us become who we are. Every room and every human that interacts with you radiates with love and light. Thank you for all you do.

I only recently met Jonny at Verci in NYC, and from the moment I met him, I could see what a bundle of positivity he is. He was so sincere, genuinely willing to listen, and truly cared about what I was working on. In the little time I had to learn about his background and initiatives, one thing was clear: the world is a better place because of people like Jonny!

I wanted to thank you for all your support, for being so kind and joyful, and for the encouragement you give. I appreciate your involvement with 1pb, and more than anything, the way you care about the people around you and make them feel that they matter. I’m looking forward to more really cool 1pb projects we can work on together.

J, I’m so grateful for you and that you’ve become one of the most supportive and loyal people in my life. I can probably tell you (almost :) anything and I know you’d have my back! I also love all the fun times hanging out, whether it’s a great dinner party, social impact event or multiple runs to catch Le Botaniste before it closes :). Thanks for it all!

Jonny is the kindest person I've ever met. He truly cherishes every human interaction with no ego. He's always giving his time to help entrepreneurs, inspire others with his amazing story of fighting cancer, building a nonprofit (Imerman Angels) to help others with cancer, and ClozTalk, a B Corp that helps nonprofits with beautiful apparel. To me specifically, he's supported me through the lowest lows, and supports every idea, inspiring me to start The Gratitude Network, as well as 1pb.org to help other entrepreneurs, and to more graciously give every day in small and big ways. Most importantly, Jonny is an inspiration in health, conscious living, where he prioritizes exercise, healthy food, and meaningful relationships. Thank you for being Jonny every day, and inspiring me and everyone you meet.
