At age nine, John O’Leary’s world quite literally caught fire, and what happened next changed everything.
John O’Leary was burned on almost 100 percent of his body in a childhood accident and given less than a 1 percent chance to survive. Today he’s a two time national bestselling author, a sought after national speaker, and the host of the Live Inspired Podcast, reaching audiences across the country with a simple message: stop just surviving your days, and start actually living them.
His story resonated so deeply it became a feature film, Soul on Fire, released by Sony Pictures. In this episode, Brady and John talk about the hospital janitor and aide who taught him that every job carries dignity, the Hall of Fame broadcaster who showed up for a dying stranger, and the daily habit that can bring more wonder into your life, your work, and your relationships.
