Manage episode 435120695 series 2798833
What if your toughest childhood experiences fueled an extraordinary entrepreneurial journey? In our latest episode, John A Brink takes us through his harrowing memories from Nazi-occupied Holland and how the resilience born from those times became the bedrock of his stunning success. From going hungry and cold to the life-changing moment of his village's liberation by Canadian soldiers, John’s story is not just about survival—it's about the unyielding pursuit of a dream that led him to Canada and ignited his remarkable career.
As we celebrate John’s 83 years of life and nearly five decades in business, you'll hear about his incredible rise from a struggling furniture maker to the helm of a multifaceted business empire. John’s ventures span the lumber industry, real estate, and media, demonstrating his relentless work ethic and undying passion for his craft. His journey is a powerful testament to the impact of hard work, goal-setting, and staying true to your vision, even when the odds are stacked against you.
But that’s not all. John shares his deeply personal experience with ADHD, a condition he has come to view as a superpower, thanks to Dr. Edward Hallowell's influential book "Driven to Distraction." Inspired to help others, John authored "ADHD Unlocked," aiming to change the narrative around ADHD and highlight its potential as a unique strength. Tune in to gain valuable insights on leveraging your own unique traits for long-term success and fulfillment, and be inspired by John's unwavering passion and work ethic.
