Welcome to The Plug — the show where real people talk real business.
I’m Jeff Kohl — builder, entrepreneur, and connector. I’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now I’m sitting down with others who’ve done the same.
Each episode, I talk with founders, CEOs, tradespeople, athletes, and wildcards about the ups, downs, and everything in between — from deals and career pivots to comebacks and construction. It’s unfiltered, insightful, often funny, and always real.
Whether you’re building a business, a house, or just your next chapter — you’re in the right place.

Episode 008: Gene Therapy, Rare Disease & the Future of Medicine with Pat Girondi
When Pat Girondi’s son was diagnosed with thalassemia, a rare and often fatal blood disorder, his life changed overnight. A former commodities trader and South Side Chicago native, Pat left everything behind to search for a cure—eventually founding San Rocco Therapeutics, a company now leading the fight to make gene therapy more affordable. In this conversation, he shares how a father’s determination became a global mission, the obstacles of battling big pharma, and the hope that’s driving the next wave of medical breakthroughs.
