John Marino: How Sobriety, Epilepsy & His Unique Circumstances Have Brought Him Closer to His Passions

Instead of allowing his life experiences and circumstances dictate his future, John Marino wakes up each morning with a sense of gratitude and chooses to dedicate every day to community, fitness and service. Whether he’s at his job as a corporate wellness and citizenship advocate for a management consulting firm, spreading awareness for the Epilepsy Foundation, trying a new workout with the Ohana-Kane Project, a group he co-founded who’s mission is to build positive men’s community throughout LA, he brings his passions with him. “I don’t segregate my career and my outside life. It’s all one for me. My whole life is my passion place.”

In this episode, John shares the transformation his sobriety has brought him over the past four and a half years; how a full blown epileptic seizure changed his life and how he’s learned to appreciate his journey with epilepsy; why he believes greatness lives on the outside of our comfort zones; steps to conquer rational and irrational fears; why he’s referred to by his friends as the quote guy and so much more!
