085: Solo - Honoring John Ruhlin: The Greatest Relationship Builder of Our Time


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a tough one, but an important one. I wanted to take a moment to honor someone who profoundly impacted my life – my friend, John Ruhlin.

Tragically, John passed away unexpectedly about 2 months ago at just 44 years old. When I first heard the news, I was in complete shock, and I’ve been doing my best to process it ever since. 

For those who knew John, you’ll understand when I say he was one of the greatest relationship builders of all time. He had a gift for connecting with people in a way that was truly special. Losing someone like John – a close friend and a larger-than-life presence – makes you reflect on what truly matters in life.

I’m heartbroken by his loss, but at the same time, I feel incredibly grateful to have known him. He taught me how to show up differently, how to treat others with genuine care, how to connect on a deeper level, and how to give without expecting anything in return.

In this episode, I’m sharing the many lessons John taught me – lessons that continue to shape how I live my life. My hope is that by sharing his wisdom, I can honor his legacy and pass on some of the incredible insights that made John who he was.
