JP Conklin is funny. And not in an ironic sort of way. This jack of all trades is dangerously quick on the draw with a one-liner, which is probably why his side gig as a podcaster has taken off the way it has (he doesn't want you to listen to that either). While JP might not be a comedian in real life, he is a lot of other things, including: a founder (of Pensford Financial Services and LoanBoss), a veteran, a father of five, and a private pilot. And while he might be chock full of jokes, he's deadly serious about tech.
