ORIGIN
John has over a decade of experience helping people visualize and achieve their ideal futures.
He’s worked alongside hundreds of individuals & families, assisting them in setting goals and removing obstacles to their success. He started his career directly out of college as an academic coach, advising students and their families regarding the courses and cost structure of earning their degree
After spending time in the education space, he pivoted to the financial services industry when he joined a local financial planning firm in 2014. There he learned the ins and outs of the business, working from the ground up. In 2017, John launched his own financial planning practice within the firm and he’s since grown it to near-capacity, presently engaging with new clients on a referral-only basis.
As his business grew rapidly, he noticed his own personal growth lagged behind. John found it was easier to succeed in business than as a person, husband & father. A series of events highlighted the unsustainability of the path he was on and he made it his mission to figure out how to actually change.
The solution he ultimately found was simple: in order to change how he lived
he needed to change how he thought.
The solution he ultimately found was simple: in order to change how he lived, he needed to change how he thought. He also quickly learned that just because something is simple, it doesn’t mean it’s easy. He continued his journey of looking for strategies to make inward change practical, relatable and ultimately doable. His breakthrough came when he connected the dots between investing principles and personal growth and in 2021, Investing Inward was born.
His mission with Investing Inward is simple: create compelling content that helps people think intentionally and live differently. John believes that if he can introduce you to your future self and equip you with practical strategies that work, you can’t help but be motivated to become who you want to be.
Today John keeps quite busy between managing his financial planning practice and growing the Inward Investing brand. His efforts center on creating inspiring content on social media and producing his new podcast, Think. Live. Repeat.. The show provides a platform for engaging in transparent conversations with successful people who have learned to invest in themselves and leverage the life-changing power of intentional thinking.
Saving the best for last, John’s primary focus is being a husband to a wonderful wife and a loving (sometimes patient) father of 3 kids. His wife supports him in each of his endeavors and their kids do their best to give him as many growth opportunities as possible.
