"The reason i love this story and all the stories shares cause none of them have anything to do with me," he says. "I'm a character in it. I'm the one noticing what's taking place and able to share with everybody else the importance of living this in their own life." He was on morphine, wrapped in bandages and in a wheel chair when his piano teacher showed up at home. She didn't say a word; she just humbly, quietly unhooks the break on his wheel chair.
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/
