“I'm just so fired up about learning how to make an impact through whatever that vehicle is." - Jon Berghoff
On today’s show I speak with one of my best buddies in the whole world, Mr. Jon Berghoff from Flourishing Leadership Institute. He will be presenting at the Speaker Trainer Experience this March. In December he hosted the Best Year Ever Blueprint with Hal Elrod. It was attended by more than 330 people from 13 different countries.
We have a lot of fun stuff today, and I’m super excited to talk with Jon. He is someone who has been there from the beginning for me and the Front Row Factor. In 2005 when things were just getting started, Jon gave me a check for $8888.88. This meant more to me than money, because it meant he believed in the cause.
He has served on the board, as a volunteer, and he is an amazing fundraiser. He has been instrumental since day one, and he is one of the best friends I have. He even met his wife at my house, and I officiated at his wedding. Jon was the head of sales at Vitamix and achieved great success using the appreciative inquiry method.
Jon believes in the power of positivity, and feels it is a great honor to have a really large impact on organizations and high-level entrepreneurs. Jon will be continuing his work and his message of collaboration with the Speaker Trainer Experience. The experience will be held in San Diego March 24 through March 26, 2016.
There will be awesome speakers, and Jon is excited to serve. It’s amazing how he is adaptable to co-creating and watching people have breakthroughs, yet manages to follow an agenda. Jon loves the feedback of someone saying that this mattered, and my life will never be the same again. These are some of my favorite parts of the training. It is going to be amazing.

John has done over 30,000 personal training sessions over the past 15 years. He’s an amazing father, husband, friend and man-of-faith. He pursues his passions with great energy.
John’s story is inspiring. Here’s a guy that followed his heart, pursued his dream and is living big every day. We all have so much to learn from this dude.
What’s super cool, is that after years of pushing himself and others, John knows just how far to take it. Have you ever wondered if you’re going to far? Asking too much of yourself and others? When does it get unhealthy?
In his interview, you’ll meet a guy who strives to make a difference in someone’s life every day. John’s mantra is “Believe in yourself and help others.” Clear and to the point – just like Johnny himself.
