My name is John O’Leary, and I’ve lived through worse than most can imagine. At age nine, a fire exploded and burned 100% of my body. Given a one-percent chance to live, I fought extraordinary odds.

I spent five months in the hospital, underwent dozens of surgeries, lost all of my fingers to amputation and had to relearn to walk, write, and feed myself. I endured, persevered, and survived – largely because others emerged, served and inspired. I now live to share the life-giving lessons from my story in hope that I can Spark! the extraordinary possibility of your story.

I share these lessons as a tribute to those who leapt into the flames to save me. Who worked tirelessly to restore me. Who pushed me to write though I no longer had fingers. Who held me close when the days were dark and the nights scary. I share these lessons as an invitation for you to choose to wake up to the fullness of your life, to embrace the amazing gift of each moment, and to celebrate the joy of your inspired life!
