BREAKING THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS FOR PURPLE HEARTS WITH TSHANE JOHNSON
Born in Arcadia, Florida, and raised on a ranch in an even smaller town nearby, Johnson’s childhood was full of amazing experiences punctuated by moments of terribly demanding chores. Soon after joining the U.S. Marine Corps, while stationed at Camp Pendleton in California, Johnson took his motorcycle for a ride and was slammed into a brick wall by a car of gang members. He was robbed and left for dead; his injuries included a punctured bicep, causing him to nearly bleed to death.
He managed to drag himself to a fire station, where he received medical help and was airlifted to the hospital, flatlining and being resuscitated twice on the way. Doctors restarted his heart once more at the hospital, bringing him back from the brink of death a total of three times.
He survived, and continued serving in the military; even now, long after leaving active service, he will remind you there is no such thing as an “ex-Marine.”
In his 20s, Johnson built a successful mortgage business and was enjoying a six-figure income when, in 2008, the market collapsed and he lost everything but a beat-up, old car — which he had to junk after it was rear-ended. He then walked everywhere and tried to earn enough to eat one meal a day, enduring a two-year period of homelessness. Just as he met the challenge of his injuries, he persevered each day and eventually improved his situation.
Now 40 and a full-time single father, Johnson owns and operates several successful businesses he has founded; he’s become a best-selling author; and he is in high demand as a motivational speaker. In recent years, he has dedicated himself to raising money for homeless veterans and calling attention to the devastating rate of veteran suicides.
Johnson focuses on the philosophy of “finding your why” each day, and he now shares his message with all who can benefit from hearing it. As a coach and a motivator, Johnson offers a fresh, inspiring message focusing on proven tactics that launch individuals and organizations beyond current expectations.
