From Monk to Teacher to Copywriter - John's Story (Episode 206)

Ever struggled with finding your “thing” in life?

(But really…who hasn’t?! I know I have several times!)

That’s the place John was in before he discovered copywriting.

For years, John was a monk in Japan before returning to the US and becoming a middle school teacher. But after seven years, as many teachers can relate to, he was incredibly stressed.

The “ah-ha” moment came when John realized a book he was using with his students—Designing Your Life—was just as relevant for this stage of his life as it was for theirs.

And, you guessed it, it led him to copywriting.

John was kind enough to join Kate and I on this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast and not only share his story, but share some fantastic tips for finding your passion—whether you are pursuing copywriting or not!

I am SO excited for you to hear this conversation—Kate and I left this conversation feeling so inspired and we hope you do, too.
