In this episode, Jon delves into the importance of precise language in contracts. Drawing from over 13 years of experience and reviewing thousands of contracts, he explains how subtle differences in wording—such as "guarantee" versus "draw" or "minimum hours" versus "maximum hours"—can have significant implications on employment terms. Whether it's about salary, bonuses, termination, or other contract terms, understanding these nuances is crucial.

Jon emphasizes that every word matters and encourages listeners to carefully review their contracts to ensure clarity and fairness.
