When John O’Leary was nine, a fire exploded, leaving him with burns on 100% of his body. Doctors gave him a 1% chance of surviving—yet he did. And after enduring months in a hospital bed and years of physical therapy, John woke up to what really matters. Once expected to die, John now teaches others how to live. He uses his journey as a burn survivor and shares his perspective to awaken you to your life’s potential and energize you to live more thoughtfully and boldly. About John O’Leary:  In 1987, John O’Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given 1% chance to live. This epic story of survival was first showcased in his parents’ book, Overwhelming Odds, in 2006. It was this book that first invited John to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world.  Today, John is the author of the instant #1 National Bestselling book ON FIRE: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life and an inspirational speaker teaching more than 50,000 people around the world each year how to live inspired. Our Sponsor A special thank you to our Season One Sponsor, Pritzker Hageman.
