Jason M. James is an entrepreneur, storyteller, and professional gutter cleaner who built a thriving blue-collar business after taking one too many wrong turns on the way to the “right” career. A former web developer in a very unconventional industry, failed real-estate agent, and corporate cubicle escapee, Jason eventually found success by doing the kind of work most people avoid—and doing it exceptionally well. Known for his sharp humor, unfiltered honesty, and knack for finding meaning in messy places, Jason writes for anyone who’s ever felt underestimated, overlooked, or one bad decision away from starting over. When he’s not cleaning gutters or writing, he’s being outnumbered at home by his wife and daughter and reminding himself that falling down is only failure if you stay there.
