Hey I'm John Gordon with Positive University and I am with my friend John O'Leary, one of the most inspiring people you will ever meet.

But it's not just his words that inspire, it's his life.

And John, tell us about your story

because I believe that's your most inspiring part of you

and your journey.

Well, first of all, I'm honored brother John Gordon to be on your show and to be with your friends and followers.

For those who don't know me, my name is John O'Leary. I'm a Midwestern guy. I'm out of St. Louis, Missouri.

I'm married, St. Louis, Missouri.

I'm married, have four children.

I really feel like I have an awesome shockingly blessed life.

And I wake up each day grateful for it.

Like just totally in awe of the life that I'm lucky enough to walk each day.

The story you're asking me about, I'm assuming, if this is the one, is the turning point of my life.

And it happened at age nine. I was kind of a curious kid. I saw older boys in my

neighborhood a few weeks earlier playing with fire and gasoline. And these were

guys I looked up to and I wanted to be just like these old-timers and I assumed Mr. Gordon if these guys can do that and get away with it.

You know, me too. So that weekend it was on my mom and dad were gone I walked into their garage I've been over a can of gasoline

stooped down next to it try to pour a little bit on top just as a safe amount right now I would

imagine your female listeners are thinking what is wrong with this guy and all your brothers all the men listening right now are thinking oh my gosh.

I wonder if he put the G.I. Joe guys in first or second.

They did the same stupid thing, man.

Every little boy is guilty of something like this with fireworks or gasoline or hairpray or ants, who knows.
