Since co-launching the &#8220;Talkin&#8217; Yanks&#8221; podcast in 2017, it&#8217;s been nothing but wins for the founder of Jomboy Media.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Known better as Jomboy, O&#8217;Brien has expanded his talents across the multimedia sphere over the years.
