    Get to know John

    Our series of blog posts introducing our coaches begins with John! "Any comments, questions, stories, revelations, feedback or anything else want to say?" That's something you'll often hear John say when he is teaching classes or workshops. So, diving in, we asked... what is John's story? What would you like to tell us about yourself?
