At age nine, i had witnessed boys in my neighborhood playing with fire and gasolene. I figured, man, of these kids can get away with this, and it would spark to life, so could i. The fumes came out first, andit created an explosion that split the metal can in two and launched me 20 feet against the far side of the garage. That's really the first paragraph of the first page of the first chapter of a turning point in his life. Forwart: "This was the day that changedl our lives"
In 1987, John O’Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, he created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given less than a 1% chance to live. John not only survived but, with the support of an incredible family, friends and community, found a way to reclaim a sense of wonder, joy and service that has led to a stunning career inspiring millions, writing books, while marrying the love of his life and raising four kids together. His #1 National Bestselling book ON FIRE recounts much of this story, and his popular Live Inspired Podcast takes you deeper into lessons learned. John's new book, IN AWE, (https://amzn.to/3dQ1dUO) explores the key elements that allow you to live from a place of awe, no matter what the world throws at you.
We recorded a Good Life Project conversation with John in 2016, which you can listen to here: https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/john-oleary-2/
