John’s Bio: John Weiman
After being diagnosed with cirrhosis and given two months to live, John overcame tremendous adversity as he had two strokes, seizures where he flatlined twice, 4000lbs of fluid drained from his body, and a dozen surgeries while waiting twelve years for his liver transplant. While waiting for transplant, John built a nationally recognized marriage counseling practice. Today, John considers himself a liver transplant thriver and he believes being given two months to live is the best thing that ever happened to him. He takes time to appreciate life every day and is crushing it in his practice.
About your host: I’m Drew Deraney, the proud father of three children. For most of my life I’ve been concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act. I learned not to be my authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask.
In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence.
I became determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years.
I found my purpose and my mission in life. I’ve now become the man I know I am meant to be. My mission is empowering men ready to make a change to do the same.
My men’s group and one-on-one Coaching provide a safe space for men to share, without judgement, and transform. My male clients learn to release their inner greatness and stop self-sabotage, the #1 roadblock keeping them from reaching their goals.
