传记与作者历程

Jonathan Fields first trained for a conventional legal career. He earned a J.D. from Cardozo School of Law and worked as an SEC and big-firm lawyer before pivoting to entrepreneurship. A major turning point came when he co-founded Sedona Private Fitness and later launched Sonic Yoga in New York in 2001, eventually selling those businesses and redirecting his attention toward writing, teaching, and media. The move from law into founder-led wellness and education work established the themes that would recur throughout his career: reinvention, creativity, and the search for more meaningful ways to work and live.
