Reinventing Yourself with John Morall

Episode 15 is all about Reinventing Yourself with John MorrallI originally wanted to interview John about opening and creating a successful passion + lifestyle business – he’s the owner Jetts Noosa, our favorite gym where we live in Australia.But when I sat down to have a pre-interview chat with John, I realized there’s so much more to John’s journey I wanted share.  He’s led an extraordinary life and is truly a master of reinvention with a unique attitude that has helped him pivot successfully, time after time.So some backstory –  from highschool dropout, John created a successful career in hospitality and nightclub industry in Victoria.  But after his life was threatened and fearing for the safety of his family, he knew it was time for a change.  As a burley biker with earrings, tattoos and a pony tail, he then completely reinvented himself as an entry level salesperson for the music retailer Brashers and worked his way up to state manager for the whole of QLD, winning numerous retailing awards.Living the dream – he toured with the Rolling Stones, bought b-day presents for Celine Dion, travelled with the Brisbane Broncos – but in the midst of living the dream, his marriage broke down and he knew it was time for a significant change.  So he left Brashers and bought a Harvey Norman Franchise, moved to Noosa and went from newbie franchise owner to building the most profitable store in Queensland. But while he was working less hours, his lifestyle still hadn’t changed – he was still smoking a pack a day, was overweight, on anti-depressents, slept with a sleep apnea machine, and after a heart attack at 44, he knew it he needed a complete lifestyle overhaul.  Which led him to the Biggest Loser – applying and getting accepted to Season 3 of the Biggest Loser in Australia, losing 47kg (103 lbs), keeping it off for over 14 years now – and now owning one of the successful gyms in Australia. And the rest I will leave for the interview!What we cover:When to reinvent and how to approach reinvention Listening to input even if it gets your back up, at first!Adapting AND staying true to yourselfWhat it’s actually like being on Reality TVHow to use “unfairness” to motivate youTaking risks and backing yourselfReinventing the most important parts of youFinding your True Passion through reinvention <br/>I’m looking so forward to introducing John to you.  He puts 100% into everything he does, really lives life fully, is present and has a huge heart – all of which you will feel during this interview. Let’s dive in.Head to https://www.carmenmarshall.com/15 for this Episode’s Show Notes!Take the Soul Craft Quiz:  https://www.CarmenMarshall.com/quizFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmen_marshallFor all my current offers:  https://linktr.ee/carmenmarshall Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts "I love the Soul Craft Your Life Podcast!" -- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/....podcast/soul-craft-y helps me support more people -- just like you -- create a magical and fulfilling life.
