Today we are heading to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to chat with this week's guest, who is a prolific creative fiction writer in his spare time, Mr John Leister.
I mention spare time intentionally as John works full time as a security guard, yet incredibly has managed in the space of just 4 years to publish in excess of 100 books. Let me do the math for you. That's 25 books a year, 1 book every 2 weeks – aside from the writing John does the entire process himself from design, artwork, editing, and publishing. So, I think you will agree when I say that by any standards this is phenomenal, and naturally you will hear us unpacking more on this during our conversation.
According to John, his journey prior to 2019 and the current writing blitz, was much less fulfilling.
Suffering for cirrhosis, overweight, addicted to sugar, lethargic and spending way too much time on the couch, led to him hitting an emotional rock bottom.
Despite reading a raft of self-help books, John's real the turning point came after he reached out to God. And as they say the rest is history.
Today John is active, healthy and nearing 40 years working security.
He's very active on Facebook – not sure when he finds the time to read other writers or engage on social media but somehow he does.
TEAM ET, I think you get the idea by now that whatever you set your heart, mind and gut can be manifested in your behavior and this continues to be the case for John.
