Fresh Blood - John Vespa

[00:00:00] Hello, and welcome to Fresh Blood, a podcast about killing it in the age of age-ism, where we prove that new blood does not necessarily equal young blood here to discuss what it takes to have continued success through life. I'll be your host Jolie downs. With over 20 years of executive recruiting experience, I've learned how much we can grow and be inspired by other people's stories.

[00:00:25] I'm excited to share that with you. Here on fresh blood.

[00:00:32] Thank you for joining us today on fresh blood today, we are speaking with John . He is the author of 11 books about rational living. He has turned his international background and his personal interest in history into a breed of personal development books that emphasize rationality, resilience and learning from real life examples.

So I started to write the kind of books I could not find. And I have been doing now this for 11 [00:02:00] years.

[00:02:00]My books are useful in the sense that they reflect my passion for history, my passion for personal development. So what I try to do in in each book is to go through really that history and of biographies of different people in different centuries, different countries, different professions to try to extract practical lessons.
