During the 2008 global financial crisis,John lost everything—including his mortgage brokerage, home, andmarriage—landing on his mother's couch with only a box of motivational books.By discovering Tony Buzan's mind-mapping methodology and mapping out classicpersonal development texts, he realized the brain thinks in associativenetworks rather than straight lines.
