We have an awesome interview with Johnny Sirpilla today! 

Johnny is a legend in the RV industry. He is the owner of many businesses, the Founder of Encourage LLC, and the author of Life is Hard But I’ll Be Okay: The Power of Hope, Emerging Through Pain and Learning to Live with Gratitude. He is a member of numerous boards and a professional speaker to businesses, communities, and universities about managing thoughts, leading yourself to make productive choices, and framing each challenge in your life as an opportunity for more self-reflection and growth.

Johnny has been a Dad for 27 years! In the early years of parenthood, he could see himself as a dad but somehow struggled with the biological aspect. So fatherhood came to him with a lot of anxiety. Since then, he has learned to use anxiety in his favor to have a good outcome. He talks to Jason about his parents, reinventing his life at fifty, and what motivated him to write his book. He also speaks about finding hope again after a tragic loss and offers advice for men going through a tough time in their lives. 

Stay tuned to hear Johnny’s perspective on life, and learn how to become the best man you can be, even if you are going through a challenging time right now!
