The wild ordinary: finding magic in the everyday with John Waire | Ep 170

In this heartfelt and genuine episode of Into Your Life, we sit down with documentary photographer and storyteller John Ware for a refreshingly personal and profound conversation.John brings not only his artistry but his grounded, soul-connected perspective to a discussion that transcends photography, touching on identity, connection, parenthood, and the pursuit of a life well-lived.This isn’t your usual tips-and-tricks episode. Instead, we embark on an exploration of what it means to notice the beauty in everyday life—the “wild ordinary”—a theme that runs deeply through John’s work and worldview.John shares how his family fuels everything he does, how he balances a corporate energy-sector day job with his creative pursuits, and how his presence on LinkedIn evolved from cautious observation to authentic community-building.John also reflects on aging, fatherhood, and the evolving journey of trusting your intuition over metrics. He encourages listeners to lean into simplicity with two powerful and free practices: noticing and listening. These, he says, are the foundations of connection—both with others and with yourself.Whether you’re a creative, a parent, a professional feeling a little lost, or just someone yearning for deeper connections in a fast-paced world, this episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect—with presence, with purpose, and with the people around you.“Notice more. Listen deeper. It costs nothing—and changes everything.”John WairePhotographer | Curator of everyday magic | Believer in the wild ordinary | Fueled by heartbeats | Encouraging others to Be Kind, Disruptive and Generous | Ready for a road trip to capture the heart of your story...A Baltimore based documentary photographer — a family man at heart. John strives to shine a light on the everyday moments that bind us all together.Find out more about John online:thewairehouse.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnwaire/
