Hi, I'm John.

I live and breathe 4 things: parenting, health, leadership, and self mastery.  Every week, I share and distill what I learn in a newsletter, which you can sign up for here.

It all begins with You

When it comes to parenting, there are so many books, courses, audio programs, seminars, and resources available.

With so many out there, it can get overwhelming.  I know I felt that way.

Learning, listening, and trying out so many things all in the name of being the best parent for my son.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of them made sense and would help...at least for a period of time.  But sooner or later, it always felt like I was back to square one, until...

I started to actively dig into my own stories and beliefs around who I am.

Through my experience and discoveries, I believe that the foundation to masterful parenting starts with active and consistent self mastery.

As it turned out, the more I master myself (physically, mentally, and emotionally), the more I master parenthood.

Not in the sense that I'm perfect or that I know everything, but more that I am able to appreciate and enjoy all of the aspects of parenting, while doing it with more integrity.

Before I wrap this up, I want to thank you for 3 things:

1) Thank you for your commitment to your child.  By seeking out and discovering new perspectives to embody, I totally relate that you won't give up on your role as a parent, protector, and master.

2) Thank you for being open to my perspective.  I hope it resonates and helps you parent with love and service.

3) Thank you for changing the world.  As we raise our children with integrity, love, service, and leadership we are changing the world, one person at a time.

When it comes to parenting, I'd like to focus on 4 things

Self-Mastery

"Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is power."  As we do the inner actions needed for our growth, it will lead to greater interactions with our loved ones.

Health

Kids have a lot of energy because they are full of life.  The healthier and more energetic we are, the better we can show up.

Leadership

Like it or not, our kids probably look to us for guidance and support, especially amidst the avalanche of options out there.

Parenting Principles

Principles are timeless and can be applied to any situation.  If you work the principles, the principles will work in favor for you.
