110: John Schnettgoecke; Pura Vida & A Quarter Life Crisis

John Schnettgecke is the author of Pura Vida, A Thinker's Guide to Living—a best-selling personal development book for lost, stuck, or mixed-up Millennials. At age 25, John fell headfirst into an EPIC quarter-life crisis. He abruptly quit his job, fled the country, then fell off a motorcycle somewhere near the equator. Unsure what to do next, he started writing. He's now on a mission to encourage other young people to write their way to the life they want. He's the poster child for all Millennials who have ever felt lost, stuck, or confused. John is the guy who read all the personal development books and listened to way too many podcasts, the guy who wanted to do everything, but managed to do nothing in the process. He spun his wheels and went nowhere.  That is, until he began asking himself some really tough questions and answering them honestly. He believes that all young people have the power to unlock their true potential and purpose with nothing more than pen, paper, and 10 minutes of writing each day.
