John T. Griffith
Founder & Executive Coach
Not long ago, I was exhausted and stressed almost every day. I had spent a lifetime hiding my authentic self and contorting my weirdness into what I thought was socially appropriate. Like many awkward and tender souls, I looked for relief in all the wrong places - drugs, money, achievements.
I did all the things that were supposed to matter - I was fit, made lots of money, traveled, owned houses, married my soulmate and had a beautiful daughter. But to my frustration, I was still not consistently happy or at peace. Instead, my soul felt worn thin and trapped. Most days I had trouble breathing.
​
So I did what only the most basic people do in this situation. I moved to Madagascar for several months to "find myself." To my own shock, I somehow succeeded. I meditated for several hours a day and did deep, inner healing work.
​
It was enough to finally have the courage to fly my freak flag at full mast.
I had always been afraid to share that I am a spiritual weirdo. My brain works in completely different and often painfully awkward and disruptive ways.
​
I'm obsessed with God and nature. I love people deeply. I’ve finally learned how to connect and serve the divine every day. The result is an unimaginable experience of love, abundance, peace and joy.
​
In coaching, I feel people's energies. This gives me an intuitive ability to identify and remove unconscious fears, emotional traumas and other obstacles. I combine this with my profound love of people and it creates an environment where people heal themselves and grow exponentially.
​
​I’ve done this deep healing work for myself. And the result is that I live every day with a stable sense of freedom and bliss. I've never experienced anything like it, and this is why I'm so excited to share it with the world.
I would love to connect and learn your story!

My Background
(almost forgot to impress you with my accidental accomplishments...)
-
Decorated wartime veteran (I was expelled from high school and my options were limited)
-
Full scholarship to Northeastern University for Engineering (I noticed that people were impressed by engineers)
-
MBA Foundation Series at UPenn Wharton (impressed yet?)
-
Worked at Raytheon and wrote a computer program that saved millions of dollars (I hated it, suffered an identity crisis, and did what only the most “basic” people do in that situation - backpacked around Southeast Asia and India to “find myself”)
-
With my newfound clarity, I boldly followed my dreams and started a life coaching business (I moved back in to my parents’ attic)
-
Used my fancy education to become awesome at selling copiers door-to-door (I failed the business and needed the money)
-
Mysteriously, became a Director and Vice President selling millions of dollars a year in Executive Coaching and Consulting services (I thought my Rolex and Audi would make me cool - no one cared)
-
Self-sabotaged (having found myself too successful and still unhappy, I managed to get myself fired twice in a row)
-
Bought some real estate properties (hoping to one day cease plaguing companies with my employment)
-
Started this business (why not try being my self for a change?)
As you can see, most of my life has been attempting to contort myself into societal norms (My fragile ego: "I swear, I'm NOT incredibly weird (nervous laughter), let me distract you with achievements!")
​
But it's just the darndest thing... despite my desperate efforts, I kept exploding out of norms with self-orchestrated catastrophes. So I finally decided to stop pretending and completely heal, love and accept every part of myself and my life. I decided to stop caring about what anyone thought and just be myself.
And then something miraculous happened - an immovable sense of peace and joy settled in to each moment of my days.
Now I just want to lead others in being their wildly authentic selves.
