In today's conversation, John Wolf shares a journey that saw him emerge from the depths of grief and loss to undergo a holistic transformation that ultimately led him to be the Chief Fitness Officer at Onnit.

Having lost many of the people closest to him early in his life, John quickly found himself descending down a path of drug addiction. He talks about the years of inner work that he did (and continues to do) to maintain his self-worth, as well as the outer work he underwent to rebuild his body and indirectly build stronger belief systems as a result.

John rediscovered his passion for fitness and martial arts down the road. Trading one "addiction" for another, John saw exercise as a way to continually reforge and optimize not only his body, but his entire being.

In training his clients at Onnit, John uses an approach he calls "conscious coaching" that leads them into a state of flow "where skill and effort intersect."

To John, "ever forward" is a matter of maintaining this flow, of staying laser-focused on your purpose while staying receptive to continuous learning and growth.
