EP 3: John Wetmore – Losing It All And Learning As You Go
What does it take for someone to want better for themselves? How does anyone figure out how to be the person they daydream about?
John Wetmore went from car repossessions, foreclosure, divorce, and bankruptcy all before he was 35 years old to never having to worry about providing for his family again. John didn’t grow up well-off and never truly experienced financial security growing up. John wanted to change his situation and now owns and operates a life insurance agency with a team of over 1200 employees.
On this episode of Addicted to Winning, Jeff and John connect over their financial struggles, careers in insurance, and how they ultimately reached the path wanted their lives to take. John also explains how mastering time and patience as well as being okay with trial and error has made him a better leader. Listen in for an episode that will realign your way to winning!
What You'll Learn:
- What made John want to reach a place where he was secure and comfortable in life
- How he learned from his financial struggles to jumpstart his career
- Why getting out of his own way allowed the company to flourish
- And much more!
“I started putting forth so much effort towards big goals, started writing down goals and dreams. I started talking about them and expressing them and putting them out there and just challenging myself to do more than I could ever do. And it just came together fast.”
- John Wetmore
“You can't drink a pill and get better at everything today. I can get someone to believe they can do more in a few minutes, but for them to believe they can be better – that takes time.”

How to Get Involved:
Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out.
In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions insurance agency on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
