“We’re only as good as the friends that we keep.” Words to live by from Conagra SVP and CCO Jon Harris. His friends are his prized possessions so he nurtures those relationships and takes care of his people. But it’s not only his friends who benefit from his generosity and grace – he’s learned over the years that you have to be kind to everyone because you never know what battles they’re fighting inside. He shares with Jeanne what three words he would tell his 18-year-old self; what you should ALWAYS assume about people; the three big things the pandemic taught him about life; how his father’s mental illness shaped his outlook pretty early; and why the TODAY Show’s Al Roker heckles him on a weekly basis.
