Howdy, I am newly released, John 4.0!

"John 1.0's" grew up in the little town of Rockwall, located in the smallest county in the Great State of Texas. He realized his childhood dream of playing college football for Texas A and M, was on the infamous 12th Man Kickoff Team and graduated with a BBA in Marketing.

"John 2.0's" married, had four remarkable sons, and a 25+ year career in sales and marketing leadership, including FOX Sports (14) and ESPN (3).

“John 3.0's” retired from the corporate world, started consulting, founded a boutique coworking space (TogetherWeLift.com), experienced a self-inflicted divorce, launched a non-profit, and began Coaching.

"John 4.0" was released on July 1, 2022, and includes all you got with 3.0, plus expansion into Inspirational Speaking (JohnBurnett.me), a Nomadic Lifestyle, and loving people better.

Music, Movies, and Books

I know it’s not music, a movie or book, but I’ve got a big time man crush on Ted Lasso!

All kinds of music grab my interest. Jazz, country, acoustic guitar, indie rock, instrumental, classical, indie folk, and of course, the greatest music of all time...80's Rock.

Truman Show, Spider-Man, Chariots of Fire, Sister Act, Top Gun Maverick, whatever you’re up for. I am easy to please in the movie department.

The Alchemist, The Art of Non-Conformity, Tribes, Atomic Habits, The Cure, TED (The Empowerment Dynamic).

I love books. I love to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped break the record for most people dressed up like a dinosaur.

Teach, Learn, Share

I desire to be curious, not judgmental.
I desire to be present and listen.
I desire to wrestle with truth, not beat people up with it.
I desire to look for ways to love people right where they are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am vulnerable, and I am a believer in YOU!

As a coach, I help people define their personal Mission, create Vision for what it looks like to live life on mission, and develop a Plan of action to bring it to fruition.
