ABOUT JP MORGAN JR.: Practical Philosopher, Writer & Speaker
John Patrick Morgan, or as friends call him “JP”, is a practical philosopher, writer, and the founder of Creating – a body of perspectives and practices for spiritual growth, worldly success, and societal impact.
Post his formal studies in Physics and Mathematics, JP turned his fascination with ‘how things work’ to the dynamics of business, relationships, and being human. This took him on many adventures including building multiple small businesses, traveling the world for years on end, competing in martial arts, fitness, and endurance sports, and studying the world’s philosophies and religions.
Fifteen years ago, JP turned his passion for a self-dialogue that elevates the human spirit into an outward-facing practice. Through this he discovered and came to live the purpose of his life, which is to champion the one person in front of him; to see them fully, love them deeply, and through piercing dialogue, grow their freedom, love, and power.
Today he resides with his wife, two boys, two cats, and thirty hens on their small homestead in Upcountry Maui.
