    You might know John Moltz as a person on the Internet. Many people do! However, he also appears in other guises, sometimes as a large, golden bull and others as a phalanx of beautiful swans! Usually, however, he appears as a guy working at a desk. Other important points that John Moltz would like to share:

    • John Moltz is fluent in English and conversational in two other languages.
    • John Moltz is the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. He’s fast enough for you, old man.
    • John Moltz is actually made up of thousands of smaller John Moltzes, all furiously working tiny little gears to keep the larger construct you know as “John Moltz” functioning.
    • John Moltz is a little too comfortable talking about himself in the third person.


    Jon Armstrong is a long time blogger at the barely alive Blurbomat, a UX/UI consultant, a web/business developer, a photographer and the impetus for this show. In a past life he executive produced a popular blog and ran the business. Yes, business. Turning This Car Around marks Armstrong’s first foray into podcasting.

    You can see his photos on Flickr and Instagram.
