We learn our biggest lessons during our hardest times and it is important to remember and be grateful for this as we embrace our trials by fire. Today on the show we discuss gratitude, humility, and life lessons with John O’Leary who went from getting third-degree burns on 80% of his body after a gas tank explosion accident at age nine to becoming one of the busiest professional speakers in the world. John is the best selling author of On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, and has spoken to millions of people in over 2000 events across 50 states. John attempts to ‘live in yes,’ and he tells the story of how this attitude led him from his first few years of unpaid speaking gigs to arriving where he is today. Failure has a huge place in learning life’s lessons, and John tells a beautiful story about his grandfather which acts as a reminder that we should not only not forget, but actively practice gratitude for the things we learn in our toughest moments.
