In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring John David Graham. At 20, he believed success was a sprint—one that belonged to those who ran the fastest. But life had other plans, taking him on a journey filled with detours, struggles, and unexpected opportunities.
From experiencing homelessness at 53 to founding Good Samaritan Home, earning his doctorate at 61, and publishing his debut novel at 75, his story is a testament to perseverance.
In this conversation, we explore how he turned obstacles into stepping stones and why he believes it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
Some key highlights are:
- The shift from sprinting to embracing life as a marathon.
- How career detours, from firefighting to journalism, shaped his path.
- The challenges of founding Good Samaritan Home and helping over 2,500 people rebuild their lives.
- Why faith, community, and purpose are essential for transformation.
- The power of storytelling and his journey to becoming an award-winning author at 75.
John David Graham’s story is a reminder that no matter where you are in life, persistence and purpose can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Whether you’re facing a major transition or simply looking for inspiration, this episode will encourage you to keep moving forward.
Tune in to hear the wisdom of a man who has truly lived—and kept running.
