The NoDegree Podcast – No Degree Success Stories for Job Searching, Careers, and Entrepreneurship

E87 | Started as a Dishwasher, Now He’s A Sous Chef–Jonathan Lamour

Episode Summary

I remember sleeping in my car for a while and then having to brush my teeth at burger king and McDonald's and shit. When I was a kid I used to be wildin’ out.

Episode Notes

He didn’t get good grades in school. As an immigrant, Jonathan Lamour took whatever job came his way so he could pay the bills. He started out as a dishwasher and although there are no promotion opportunities for that job, he created his own.

Listen in as he tells Jonaed about times he had to sleep in his car and how his eagerness to learn and positive attitude got him from dishwasher to sous chef.
