245: Five Years Later: How Jon Tellier & JetCo Mastered the New Rules of GovCon

In today's episode, we reconnect with a guest who left a lasting impression back in 2019 — Mr. Jon Tellier, founder and president of JetCo Solutions, a trailblazer in the federal contracting space.

If you've been with us for a while, you'll remember Jon's incredible story of building JetCo Solutions from scratch. With nothing more than a small nest egg, a leap of faith, and a lot of grit, he and his wife, Sue, took on the highs and lows of government contracting — one proposal, one client at a time. Fast forward to 2023, and JetCo has earned the prestigious title of Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year.

But here's the kicker: a lot has changed since we last spoke. In this episode, we dive into the next chapter of Jon's journey. From growing his team to navigating the most significant shifts in the government contracting world — like the rise of AI, new cybersecurity requirements, and staying competitive in an evolving market — Jon shares his hard-earned insights.

You'll hear how JetCo adapted their strategies, won even bigger contracts, and maintained their scrappy, success-driven mindset. Plus, stick around for Jon's exclusive tips for businesses just starting in government contracting and the one question he wishes he had asked at the beginning of his journey.

And that's not all! We'll also get into his thoughts on the future of government contracting, including a game-changing emerging trend no one is talking about — yet.

This episode is packed with inspiration, actionable advice, and strategies to help you level up your business. So grab your notebook, tune in, and learn from a true giant in the industry. Let's jump right in with Mr. Jon Tellier!
