John takes us through his childhood being bullied and having to learn to stand up to those kids while learning martial arts at a rough and tough martial arts school.  He took a negative situation and learned perseverance, dedication and found his true self.  

This story touches on his influences from his Father and other leaders in his life like Tony Robbins, who he has a great relationship with and gets to interview on his podcast.  

John explains his philosophy of "Don't let them take your lunch money" and how it is an analogy for chasing anything you want in life and not letting anyone or anything get in your way.  

His humor may be quirky, but his heart is unmistakable with his focus on helping others and loving his students.
