About this episode: John Spence is one of the world’s top thought leaders but he almost wasn’t.
Before the accolades, before lecturing at MIT and Stanford, before helping people and businesses around the world…he failed out of college with a 1.6 GPA, was cut off from his family, and found himself sitting on a Gainesville curb realizing that no one else was coming to save him.
That was the moment he decided to change everything.
He took responsibility, rebuilt from the ground up, and started studying what it really means to have an AWESOME life.
That journey became the foundation of his life’s work: helping businesses succeed. Along the way, he has also been helping people build lives of purpose, gratitude, and joy.
Now, we’re bringing that conversation to you.
"Notes for an Awesome Life with John Spence" is a podcast about living intentionally, facing yourself honestly, and making small, steady choices that lead to a life you love.
