Episode 97 - John O'Leary
At age nine, John O’Leary’s world was very literally set on fire. Childish curiosity got the best of him, and playing with a gas can left him with burns over his entire body and an incredibly slim chance for survival. But when John came out of the hospital, this literal inferno had stirred up a metaphorical fire inside him. John now makes it his mission to help and inspire others by sharing his story and teaching people how to ignite the same “fire” that still burns in his soul. John sits down with Davey to share his story and what he’s learned through it.
“A lot of us have physical scars, but all of us have emotional bruising — that is the more painful thing to work through.”
“Your life is sacred, God’s not done with you yet, and more is expected. So how do you live into all of that and (ask yourself) ‘What more can I do?”
book and poem mentioned in the podcast:
“In life it’s not liquid that burns, it’s almost always fumes. It’s not what you see coming, it’s what you don’t.”
