John in the Media
John has been busy lifting spirits out there; so much so that it's beginning to make waves and lots of people are getting to hear about it...
BBC1 The One Show
John's desire for inspirational times caught the attention of the BBC. His feeling that the media was often highly negative and uninspiring to everyday life in Britain led him to filming a special segment around Coventry where he met the public to encourage everyone to be more positive.

Susan Jeffers is a world renowned multi million selling author famous for her books on self-help, fear, confidence and relationships. Her top selling book, 'Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway' is still flying off shelves across the globe some 22 years after its first publication. Hearing and reading John's story of how he became inspirational she asked if she could feature it on her website which is visited by people from all round the world. John was more than happy to oblige.
BBC CWR Radio
John was invited onto Mark Powlett's Loving Life show to talk about his life, his story of pain to hope and how he got on with The BBC One Show and The Inspiration Club.
John also had an idea of trying to lift spirits for Christmas which Annie Oathen loved so much she invited him onto the show to tell everyone about it. John asked people to send in their projects, ideas or simple ways they were helping to put a bit of happiness into the world. Each day stories were featured on Anne's Advent Calendar and it came to a grand finale on Christmas Eve in the studio after being hailed a major success.
Enterprise Nation, a national website for business owners, loved how John set up The Inspiration Club and asked him to do a feature for them as part of their Sales and Marketing week.
