I Should Be Dead

That’s right, John should be dead — and he talks about it — all of it.

John is an accomplished public speaker who has addressed audiences ranging from as few as ten people to over four thousand. If your organization is looking for a talk that is equal parts funny, sad, emotionally transparent, uncomfortable at times, and genuinely inspiring — this is it.

The Talk

Most health speakers tell you what to do. John tells you what happens when you don't. Most who hear John walk away amazing, inspired and with personal hope for the future.

In I Should Be Dead, John walks through his own health trajectory in detail — the years of willful neglect, the chronic diseases that accumulated as a direct result, and the moment he decided he'd had enough. He doesn't sanitize it. He doesn't skip the hard parts. And he doesn't pretend the turnaround was easy.

What he does is show you — convincingly, and from lived experience — that the body is far more resilient than most people believe. That it's not too late. That the progress possible in a relatively short period of time will surprise you.

The message isn't "Look what I did." To the contrary, it’s "If I can do this, you can too!" And coming from someone who should not, by any reasonable measure, still be here — that message lands differently.
