"I wish I had" is the saddest phrase according to John David Graham.

John David Graham turned detours into destiny before turning multiple lost causes into UnLost Causes.

He burned out of multiple jobs and persevered through 200 book rejections, and yet he found purpose in the unlikeliest places.

This episode is about how grit outlasts doubt, and how legacy starts with one act of courage.

At 53, John David Graham faced homelessness...again.

He’d held more than a dozen jobs, from fireman to minister to journalist, but had never felt truly at home in any.

Then he and his wife took a leap: they opened their home to someone released from prison.

That moment ignited what would become the Good Samaritan Home, a $2M nonprofit that’s helped 2,500 people restart their lives.

And at 75, John published his first novel, Running as Fast as I Can, which has now won over 30 awards.
