This didn\u2019t affect John\u2019s decision to join the military, however, because his grandfather had taken a 50-year vow of silence and wasn\u2019t able to tell John that story until he was 38 years old.\n\nWorking alongside many international forces like the Italians and the French, John actually became a spook as part of a special unit and was leading forces for operations around the world.\n\nAfter leaving the military and testing for a year to become a special agent at the FBI, John\u2019s unit was recycled as a result of an issue in the budget, and he was forced to find a job in corporate America.\n\nJohn had an epiphany about 7 years ago that led him to pivot to own his own company and pursue more of his own passions without wearing himself too thin.\n\nJohn went through a home burglary that was an inside job by the head of repairs at a rental company that was working at his house. He experienced a period of intense anxiety afterwards, not to mention losing $100,000 in belongings and family heirlooms. \n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\n\n#thePOZcast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
