  John Wiley, CEPA, CEO, Private Equity Strategist, Navy Veteran, Author, John Franklin Wiley

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement

  The self-help industry has spent decades telling you something is wrong with you – that you need to be fixed, healed, or optimized before you can live the life you want.

In this thought-provoking talk, John Franklin Wiley draws on his own journey – from incarceration and transformation in his early twenties to leading companies, building nonprofits, and publishing a book on consciousness – to challenge the stories we’ve inherited about what’s wrong with us. This isn’t self-help. It’s self-recognition. An invitation to stop chasing arrival and start noticing what’s already here. MORE >
