Summary

Today’s show is a very personal one about applying the power of choice in your life. Choices occur in our life every day, both unknowingly and knowingly. These can range from simple decisions like purchasing groceries or gas to the heavier ones about friends, influences, and beliefs. One thing is true for everyone: we all have the power of choice. It’s a critical part of our self-development and every one of the choices we make shape our experiences and brings you to where you are in your life. John uses his own personal journey to highlight the importance of choices and how they can influence your passion journey. Can you expect to achieve your biggest goals and live the life of your dreams without making intentional choices? Back in the day, when John transitioned from military life to civilian life, he went on to make massive strides in corporate America. And before he was 40, he was the Chief Information Officer of a Fortune 50 company. But all his material success did not bring him fulfillment because he was not truly passionate about his chosen profession. Whether it is not your professional life or your personal life, job, or relationship, listening to today’s show will inspire you to face your insecurities and take the harder right. Learn how John chucked his seven-figure job to follow his passion for creating the Passion Struck brand. Enjoy! Quotes “Making a choice might be the most difficult thing to do. But without work, nothing happens.” “You are, so passion struck by what you are doing that you are willing to risk it all to go after it." “Until you start taking the step, embracing the sharp edge, and doing something every day that scares you, nothing is going to change."
