Speaker 3 (00:59):
And welcome back to another episode of You Can Become
Anything Podcast Show. It is our host Caesar Espino and
today I have a special guest. His name is John Kippin. Hey, Johnath,
how are you today?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
And great? Great? Happy to be here?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Awesome great great. So what don't you tell us a
little bit about yourself? Give us a little bit about
your background? And I always like to ask my guests
where are they original from and how was their upbringing bringing?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I was born in southern California in Los Angeles, two
great parents, both attorneys, upper middle class family, went to
a rich private school, had everything I needed, loving, no
brothers and sisters though, and did a lot of theater
in my young days, both in high school and college.

(01:47):
I started a computer consulting company out of college and
everything was going great, and then in two thousand and
two I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which they
decided they were going to remove it in less than
five days, and in the process of removing it, they
traumatized my facial nerve, hence my paralyzed face.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
God, let me ask you this, there were there any
specific signs that led to that tumor or something that
may be growing up? Be like, hmm, there's something here,
does that seem right?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I woke up one morning with a loud ringing in
my left ear, went to an E and T. By
the time I got there, the ringing had gone, and
he just said, I have no idea. And then I
started having trouble hearing men's voices on the left hand side,
and I went back to the NT and he ran
all sorts of hearing tests and said, hey, it's all

(02:45):
in your head. But then I started to get dizzy.
Every standing in a moving moment, I was dizzy. And
I knew that I needed to find a doctor in
my medical plan so that I could get the in
churance to pay for an MRI. So I went back
to cry and that was the beginning of the trauma.

(03:07):
The adversity went and saw specialists. They looked at the MRI.
They got on the phone and pushed another patient and said, Okay,
today's Monday. We're operating on Friday. You know, before and
ass centimeter acoustic aroma brain tumor. The good news is benign.
Badness is it's killing you by displacing your brainstem and

(03:29):
we got to get it out.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Wow. So two thousand thousand, when that took place in
prior that you were already doing so you were doing
theater would tell me about about what you were doing.
What was your back in the day before all this
took place, What was that that thing that was keeping
you busy?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
You know, I was always doing something. You know, I
lived my life with the mantra that it's better to
ask for forgiveness and permission, And that's bit me in
the butt a couple of times. But it's also given
me some amazing opportunities just to do some incredible things.
So I did everything from I was animation director for

(04:13):
a parade float company for the Growth Parade, worked in
some major theaters in Los Angeles, helped directing and stage managing,
technical direction. You know, the world is my oyster. Anything
I wanted to achieve, I didn't let anybody say don't

(04:35):
do it. I just went and.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Did it nice.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, And I remember, you know, I went through the
surgery and woke up in surgery recovery trying to fight
to get conscious. You know. It was like I was
twenty meters under the sea and I heard faint people
calling my name, and I was just trying to go
to that sound. And I finally awoke enough to realize

(04:59):
my dad. I was sitting on the side of my bed,
holding my hand and smiling. But I looked around and
I didn't see my mom. So I asked for my
glasses and put my glasses on, and then I realized
my face. My head was daanded, so the glasses didn't
quite fit. But as I got them on, Conchye, I
looked over in my mom's face. She had this look
of horror, like one of these butchers due to my

(05:21):
supports on face.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Right at that.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Point, I didn't really understand because I had full feeling
I just can't move it. And so my mom handed
me her compact makeup mirror and I looked at my
face and I was like, holy cow, you know, and
looking back at it. That was really the point where
my life started to spire a lot of control. You know,

(05:45):
they always say you have a face only a mother
can love. Yeah, didn't even live my face anymore. How
are you supposed to build your self confidence and maintain
your self confidence when the one person is supposed to
you unconditionally doesn't want to look at your face? Wow?

(06:06):
And that led to twelve years of hiding from mirrors
and cameras. I wouldn't pose for a photograph because photographs
are two dimensional. It would flatten out the face and
make the dupiness even more pronounced. Well, but fortunately I
could run my computer consulting company from home and just
stop going out and stop really living.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
You said something there, and that's something that I think
people need to recognize it. And I want to know
you obviously have gone through you you Yeah, let's just
say a different life before this event and then when
this event took place again, You're silenced for twelve years, right,
you were hidden from the world. You're from society because

(06:52):
perhaps people they don't want to accept you, and you
fill out of place, right, and you said, you know what,
I'm just gonna hide and and and do something that
I can still do.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Nevertheless, the idea of doing that, you still went through it.
I mean, I mean, you're you're in this dark place
going through that process where it could be for other
people could be different things, you know, it could be
childhood drama, drama, could be other things that are happening
in our lives, in people's lives, yet they do not
know how to go about coming out of that during

(07:24):
those twelve years. What helped you stay on top of
your life, your day life, and you know, not not
making you do something crazy, right, because I know it
wasn't easy, and so you must have telled yourself something
or do something to keep you up and going day
in and day out.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, in my hiding days, I I didn't really think
about the fact that I was hiding. It just was
a behavior, got it. It was a self defense mechanism
that just happened, and only through a reflection did I
realize that I was actually hiding. But I saw David

(08:03):
Copperfield special on television. You know, I did magic as
a kid, and it reminded me how much joy magic
brought me. And I decided to go to a magic
club called the Magic Castle in Hollywood, which is a
place where magicians invite their guests to perform. And again

(08:24):
I was I had no limitations. It's something that I
wanted to do. So I went in and auditioned and
passed the audition, and I would kind of lurk around
watching other magicians interact with people and learned a couple
tricks that I felt comfortable and performing. And there was

(08:45):
one magician who offered me an amazing gift. He said, John,
if you ever want to just come in the middle
of my show and do five ten minutes of your
best tricks and let me introduce you and let the
audience warm you, you know, meal warm you up to
the audience by all means. So I did that twice,
and that gave me the complidence to put together my

(09:08):
own thirty minute act and start performing. And I started
to understand that well, first of all, people were distracted
by my facial prolysis, just because they were thinking, did
he have those falsy? Did he have a stroke? What's
the deal? So I changed my act and I would
start saying, Hi, guys, welcome, I'm glad you're here. A

(09:31):
little bit about myself. My name is John, and I've
been doing magic all my life. But in two thousand
and two, I had a brain tumor, and when I
cut up my head to get the brain to her,
they traumatized my facial nerve, hence the paralyzed face. But
something happened to me. I'm not operating a room table.
I'm not really sure what it was because I was unconscious.

(09:53):
All I know is I recovered. I realized I had
acquired some new skills, and then I pause, and I
wait for the audience to get on the edge of
their chairs. Wanted into what possible skills I acquired by
having doctors messing around in my head. And I looked
to my right and my left, like it's the biggest secret,

(10:15):
and I lean in and I whisper in a loud voice, guys,
I am able to visualize people's thoughts. And then I
would perform some mentalism or mental magic and What that
did was a couple things. First, it answered the question
that the audiences wanted to know but would never ask,

(10:36):
so they could then ignore the facial prowess and see
through my mask into my heart and my storytelling. But
it also lowed me to share something super personal about me,
and audiences were attracted to that honesty and then my

(10:57):
mind blowing magic platting myself on the back. Really, they
saw me as someone who had conquered an amazing or
in a horrible situation, and they said, you know, John
could do it, what's my problem? And I started to

(11:20):
come across people who were going through their own medical
crisises and just sharing my story and sharing my outlook
on life and sharing it was my conscious decision not
to hide my face. You know I talk about you know,
I said, twelve years not hiding my face. And then
March at twenty twenty came, and what happened in March

(11:41):
at twenty twenty, Well, of course, the pandemic camemic, and
now covering your face with a mask became not only
politically correct but government mandated. And I was not about
to fall in line. So I found a company online
that would print whatever you wanted on a face mask,

(12:02):
and I took the bottom half a picture of the
bottom half my face, and I sent it to them,
and they made me half a dozen face masks with
the part that the mass was covering. And I would
walk around in public with those masks. It Strangers wouldn't
understand and they'd look aside, but people who knew me
would stop and do a double dk, and without saying

(12:26):
a word, they understood that I made the conscious decision
that my facial prowesses did not define me if I
didn't let it. Yeah, you know, I had some amazing
experiences with people who were tiding from life for various reasons,
and I found the power in my magic and my

(12:47):
storytelling and me being my authentic self that I was
able to encourage them to stop hiding in their lives.
And that's when I realized my true life's mission is
to teach people through my resilience and empowerment coaching, how
do you have their own way? How not to take
their selves? So, you know, so seriously, and it's my

(13:15):
mission now, I love it.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I love that and and and there's a few things
that come to mind. Number One, not only are you
you've become an inspiration for the people to say, hey,
if I'm going through this, or I went through this,
and I've been able to accept who I am as
a person because deep down that's where it is, and
in regardless of what took place, I'm able to make

(13:38):
something off of that. And I always tell people that
from pain a purpose is born. Sometimes we have to
recognize what would that be? Right, And so I love
that you became an inspiration and you are an inspiration
too many. And then also as you're doing you're you're speaking,
and you're talking to people and your audience, you're creating
something that a lot of people, even in their right

(14:00):
mind and they have no complications, have one challenge, and
that is people see me, they see the outside of me,
and yet they cannot see through me. Right. In your case,
you've been able to identify that, don't just see me
for who I am on the outside surface, see through me,
and then you're gonna be able to get to know
the real me, right. And that's one thing that I

(14:20):
think many people listen to this yere they need that
and not letting any of that get get the best
out of you.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Right.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Going through your your experiences I also tell people that
sometimes it is not so much about the after fact
it is, for sure, is that people want to see
people that are in the process or in the progress
of becoming better and going through that. And you're doing that.
You're obviously you've done that, and you're still doing that.
We're like, hey, this is for you. I'm sure this

(14:51):
is a daily thing that you're working on, this process
to get you to what is not going to be
my next thing? Right? What is going to be my
next thing?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's a mindset, you know. I'm a professional magician, and
you know when people say, oh, that's impossible, I look
at it as a challenge. Yeah, and I break that
word down impossible into two words, I'm possible. That's a mindset,

(15:21):
that's a frame of reference, you know. That's that's what
you need to take your challenges and say, I don't
care what other people think. I don't care to be judged.
The only person who should judge yourself is you, and
it should come from your heart instead of your head.
Once you learn how to truly love yourself again, the

(15:45):
world becomes your oyster and you oosee this essence that
attracts people to you and not in a physical sexual way,
but just in a strength and a power. People want that.
People want to drink your secret sauce. And the greatest

(16:08):
gift is having people accept themselves for who they are
and stop hiding. I receive so much pleasure of seeing
them transform their lives and put their own fragility into practice.

(16:33):
And just resilience is how quickly you can get off
the ground after getting the knockdown. You know, some people
I waited twelve years, man, yeah, you know, And now
I help people get build resilience. It's a muscle in
twelve to fourteen weeks. It's just it's my life calling.

(16:56):
It's just what I was put on this earth to do. Right.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Once you got out of that and came off of
that after twelve years, say hey, I'm gonna said I'm changing,
I'm doing this. Let's start about the things that you're
now doing, not only to deliver this message and help
other people through your message. You do magic shows. Tell
me a bit about the things that you have going
on and you do for yourself.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Now I'm right now in the midst of a rehearsal.
I had a very close friend named Jay Scott Berry
who we're opening his new one man show at the
Air and Hotel in Vegas. So he's been with me
for the last couple of weeks. We've been working multiple
hours a day on this show and we open next Thursday. Nice. No,

(17:44):
I'm directing a one man show on in Vegas. Yeah.
You know who gets the opportunity to do that, right?
I just said yes. Jay said hey, I need a director,
Will you direct me? And I said hell, yeah? Right.
You know, I wrote a book called Playing the Hand

(18:06):
You Were a Delt. It's a memoir of my life.
It's got really great stories of me not taking note
for an answer and all the things that I've accomplished.
And we are listeners. If you get to the end
of this podcast, I'm going to give you a link
where you can download a PDF version of the book

(18:26):
because it it became a best seller in the first
day it was. It was. One of my closest dearest
friends is Jamie Lee Curtis, and she wrote the.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Forward for this book, got it Yeah, And.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
She also starred in a documentary that was filmed about
my story, John's Open Illusion, and all I had to
do is ask her to be involved.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Modest part Yeah, what.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Do you think have been some of the biggest lessons
you've learned through through this journey, the journey that you're
walking on down What are some things that really have
impacted you in a positive way that you want to
share that with the listeners.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Don't take no for an answer. You know, nothing is impossible.
There's always a way to accomplish it. Now you may
not want to put in the effort. That's your choice. Yeah,
but happiness is a choice. Life is not about the destination.
Life is about the journey and finding moments of joy

(19:35):
in each and every moment of that path. You know,
we don't dream, you know, as kids, I would have parents.
My parents would have from friends over and they would
turn John on five or six and John, what do
you want to be when you grow up? They say,
I want to be I want to be an astronaut. No,
I want to be a fireman. Wait, wait, I want

(19:58):
to be a rock star. And then I go into
my room and I grab a couple of rulers and
pencils and start playing a drum set and getting my
air guitar out. And I'm in this line of make
believe where everything was possible and I would dream and
I would imagine, and then we go to school and
we adopt our parents or whoever raised us our belief systems,

(20:20):
whether or not they're what we truly believe or not,
those are the beliefs that we adopt and we strump
dreaming as adults. You know, and you get to me
where you're ready to retire. You know, you look back
and yeah, you bought a house and you started a family,

(20:42):
and what are you really feeling fulfilled? Is that really
what you wanted? So many times I'm walking down the
street with a friend and I'll just say how are
you doing? And they go, well, I'm living the dream.
And I stop and I say, Caesar, is it your
dream you're living? Or somebody else's question? And so many times,
all of a sudden, they stop in their tracks and

(21:04):
realize they're living in their mom's dream, their white's dream,
their sister's dream. But it's not their dream. And people
wonder why they get to that that mid life crisis,
and they realized is this all there is? It's because
they haven't defined their dream. That's what I want people

(21:26):
to go to bed. Before you go to bed every night,
just sit there with your eyes closed, put on some
soft music, and just go into that land of make
believe where everything is possible, and dream what you want tomorrow,
the next week, the next month, the next year to
look like. And then you go to sleep and you
wake up, and you wake up invigorated because now you're

(21:50):
closer to finding your dream and making it a reality.
It's the dreaming that's the hard part, making the reality
they just takenearance.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, no, that's huge. Do you talk about it when
we talk about you know, when you grow up or
you have this idea of becoming this person and again
having those dreams and we lose that. I like what
you said here and you said something about being different
is a super power, right, and I think that's huge.
Elaborate a bit more on that, because again sometimes people say,

(22:24):
because I'm a different the society does not a set
mean I can get into specific groups. You know that
there's limitations that come with that. Let's talk about that
because I think that you know, we're all unique. We
all have something to contribute to society. At the bare minium,
we all have something to contribute to our lives and

(22:45):
make our lives better, because that really is what counts
except again, we are so unundated with social media and
all these different platforms that we're looking for acceptance, and
because we are different, we feel like we're never going
to get accepted and you're left behind.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
You got to learn how to celebrate your differences, wear
them on your sleeves as badges of honor. You know,
it's something you're balding, or you're losing, whatever, you're overweight,
or whatever your physicality is. You know, people judge of
you in the verse five seconds. Your job to tell

(23:27):
them who you are through what you're passionate about. Because
when you start talking about what brings you joy and
what you're passionate about, you can't help people be inspired
to think about what they're passionate about. And they're attracted
to you in not a physical sexual way. They're attracted

(23:49):
to you in a spiritual way, and they want some
of your secret sauce. You know, when you really learn
how to accept yourself and not in the head, in
your heart and your gut, accept yourself and not care
what other people say, not care what the other people think,
you become a visionary. You become an example for other

(24:12):
people to draw strength from. And again, I said it before,
that feeling you get once you give of yourself to
others and you see that light bulb moment go off
in their head when they realize that their their worst
enemy and they make that constraus decision to forget about

(24:35):
what other people think and start living their authentic lives.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Wow. Yeah, that's that's exactly what it is. If people
want to know more about your you know what they
can connect with you. They want to know more about you.
How can they find you? Where can they connect with you?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
For Google? Man, you can find everything I'm doing on Google.
But my the main website is John kitten k I
he is and Paul he Is and Paul e and
is an anti dot com. That's my master's side. It'll
take you to my speaking section. It'll take you to
my coaching session. You know, as a public speaker, getting
opportunities out there to change lives in the world's biggest stages.

(25:20):
That's tough. There are a lot of speakers out there.
So that's why I got certified as a life coach,
so that I could work with people one on one
because that's where I'm most effective. So you can go
to kidnancaching dot com. And book a book of free
no obligation. Call with me where I can talk about

(25:43):
how my program works and see what it's a good fit.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
And let's talk about your program. Let's talk about what
you do for people in your coaching business, because obviously
you're definitely you know, you've walked a lot of different
experiences and so you can definitely relate to a lot
of that stuff. Tell me about your coaching business. What
do you do in terms of what kind of people
are you looking for to help in that coaching business.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm looking for anyone who's feels stuck in their life,
you know, whether or not it's a medical trauma or
a physical disability or whatever, it's people who are, you know,
feeling like life is hard and they don't know where
to move. They don't know what to move to make.

(26:28):
You know, they're unsatisfied with their job. But it's what's
putting a home or a roof over their heads, So
they're they're feeling stuck. You know. I have reworsed engineering,
and I'm my biggest strength is my creative problem blinking skills.
I am a creative problem solver, was since the day

(26:48):
I was born, and so I have looked at my
journey over the last twenty years, and I've reworsed, engineered
how I became to be the John Kidman you see
today here today. And so I broke all of those
into ten steps that I teach and I help my

(27:10):
clients understand you the first couple of weeks. It's building rapport.
It's getting you to trust me. It's for me to
kind of figure out what you're hiding from. You know,
people don't necessarily realize what they're hiding from. It takes
two or three hour sessions for me to kind of
ask a question that gets you to realize, Wow, that's

(27:32):
that's what I'm hiding from. Then once we build that rapport,
we build that trust. Then I just go through my
ten steps. We're building some component's building resilience. And you
know the steps are out of order. You know, I
picked the one that I think that fits for that

(27:54):
week's hour, hour and a half session. And you have
a lot of soul searching to do. But you know
you have a friend, You have someone who is invested
in your own success. Right, how many times you say
you've got a good friend who's invested in your success?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Not that many?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, that doesn't happen right right, And that's what I
offer my clients. I become your cheerleader. I give you
support when you need it. I kick you in the
ass when you need it. You know, just life is
too short to just be indecision. Buy something and what

(28:39):
doesn't work? Can we try something else? Ye, we'll figure
it out.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Are you coaching programs Taylor specifically specifically to the person
or they're more or less all the same type of times.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's to the person whatever they're they're struggling with. You know,
I started. I started coaching a gentleman who wanted to
come to have some career coaching because I built it
successful computer consulting company. And after two or three sessions,
we discovered that what his biggest challenge was ADHD. And

(29:17):
so I spent the week studying on ADHD and I
got certified as an ADHD coach, And then we started
talking about, Okay, what does ADHD, how does it manifest
in his life? And what are some tools that he
can use to put that in perspective and turn that
into a superpower. You know, it's whatever you come to me.

(29:42):
It's not always how it starts that's important. It's how
it ends. Yeah, you know, so on the book.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yeah, that's huge, that's huge. So besides coaching, you do
magic shows, you ste performants. You also do public speaking
throughout the states and sharing your story and then you're
an author also.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, good good, I wear a lot of hats. Yeah.
They all have a common goal is to inspire people
to get out of their own way. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Let me ask you this in terms of daily things
you do. I know everybody has some daily habits that
they do on a day to day basis, and I
know I do. Do you have any daily things that
you do every day that you have to do to
kind of keep you up and running, kind of like
your your non negotiables that you want to share.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, I dream both before I go to bed and
I daydream for ten minutes fifteen minutes, you know, I
clear my mind and let ideas pop on my head
and then I figure out how to take action on them. Again,
impossible is I'm possible. Whatever you put your mind to.

(31:08):
We are born strong, and it's a society's judgments and
values and limiting beliefs that tear that out of you.
And meditation, journaling man journaling is important. I have to
write for an hour, spend five minutes a day just

(31:31):
writing down your thoughts, and then go back to them
a week later and read them. You'll be amazed what
insights that come to you on your own, without anybody
yours help, just by writing a problem down. You write
something down on a piece of tabler. The paper doesn't
worrying for you now and you can move on to living. Yeah,

(31:55):
and you go back to that piece of table and
you read it, and now you're in a place to
solve whatever that issue is. Let the people do the
worrying for you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Good, I love that. Let me ask you one last question.
So from the people that are watching us seeing this
right now, if they're going through any challenges, whatever challenges
that might be, what is one thing you can say
to them so they can start overcoming that challenge.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Be your authentic self, no matter what that looks like.
People will see through a pacade in a second. You
cannot be an amazing actor and hide who you truly are.
People will see right through you. And when you're putting

(32:51):
up a pacade, they have no time for you.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's like, well, if he can't be or he can't
be real with me. I don't have the time. I'm
to be their friend. Just reach out to somebody. You know.
I spent a lot of time on social media, and
I'll have friends that will post something on social media
that's not in their character and most people see it

(33:15):
and they go, yeah, having a bad day and they
move on with their lives. Not me. I stop. I
pick up the phone and I call them and they
say he says, there, I saw. I saw this. It
just didn't sound like you. What's going on, brother, Yeah,
let's talk about it. And you'll be amazed the kind

(33:40):
of conversations that come out of that. People are reaching
out for help in the strangest ways. It can just
be a one sentence, or it can be a emoji,
or it can be whatever. It's a clip art they
get offline that basically shares where they are at that moment,

(34:03):
showing that despair and all they need is a friend
to notice them and take time out of their day
just to be present, not judge, be an active listener
and just prove to them that they are not living
in a vacuum, they are not alone. They are being heard. Man,

(34:28):
being heard is such an amazing gift you can do
is hearing someone.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
And you're and you're definitely right. I think that indirectly,
there's a lot of ways that people try to communicate
and or are reaching out for help, and or even
if they're not. As you mentioned, you can kind of
tell when somebody is indifferent or they're they're they're they're
not their normal self. And and so when that takes
places like not a lot of people do what you do,

(34:58):
whereas hey, let me pick up the phone and see
what is going on, because in reality, that is something
that sometimes people need. They just need a little bit
of that. You know that first they don't ask for
help because they feel like no one's helping them or
there's nobody going to be there for them, So therefore
they don't ask for help. Yet indirectly, they're probably going
to a lot of different challenges. So it is good
to be able to do that, and I think that's

(35:19):
that's a huge benefit to have people like you. Like
you said, even in your coaching program, you have something
that's going to be generally there to help you get
through things that you're going through and get to the
next level in your life.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
We all have the ability to change someone else's life,
one interaction at the time. And trust me when I
tell you the feeling you get from realizing that you
change someone's life just by listening, by dropping by unannounced,
by clicking the phone and calling them as opposed to

(35:53):
texting or sending me e mail. They need to hear
that voice, They need to they need to be with you.
You will build your own self compidents. It's it's an
amazing gift you give yourself by mean generous to others.
