Long before Jon Yanta became one of Minnesota’s most respected industrial brokers, he was just a kid from Eagan with grit — and a paper route. 

Jon credits his mother who gave him his greatest inheritance: a relentless work ethic and zero excuses. 

This discipline shaped every chapter of Jon's career. Listen to how his story is a lesson in hustle, loyalty, and surrounding yourself with good humans matters more than chasing the next big check.
