About Jon Paramore:

Jon Paramore&rsquo\;s story is built on experience\, adversity\, growth\, and a willingness to keep going.

He inspires audiences by showing how persistence\, adaptability\, and a strong work ethic can help turn a small business into a thriving enterprise.

Charlie started Beis Plumbing alone in 2015\, spent years living off credit cards while building the business\, worked out of his dining room\, and today leads a 30&ndash\;40 person team with an 8-figure business. He&rsquo\;s also an active voice in the St. Louis and Missouri business community\, speaking at chambers of commerce\, networking events\, and entrepreneurial forums.
