About John
Who I am.
I’m someone who has had to rebuild more than once.
I’ve lived between Saint John, New Brunswick and Los Angeles — two places that couldn’t feel more different — trying to understand where I fit, and who I actually am.
I’ve started businesses. Taken risks.
Made decisions that worked — and a lot that didn’t.
But none of that is what defines me.
What defines me is what I’ve had to face…
and what I chose to do with it.
What I've lived through
I lost both of my parents to rare and aggressive cancer.
Something that, statistically, shouldn’t happen.
But it did.
And it didn’t just affect one part of my life—
it changed everything.
How I think. How I see people. How I make decisions. How I trust.
It forced me to confront things most people never have to.
What it changed
It made it impossible to just go through life on autopilot.
I started questioning everything.
Why people stay in situations that don’t serve them.
Why we avoid hard truths.
Why we perform versions of ourselves just to be accepted.
And more importantly—
why I was doing those same things.
Why I created No Version Left
No Version Left came from a point where I couldn’t keep filtering things anymore.
Where pretending everything was fine, or simplifying things to make them easier to explain,
just didn’t make sense.
So instead of trying to package my life into something polished — I decided to speak from the middle of it.
As it’s happening.
As I’m figuring it out.
Without editing it into something it’s not.
What you'll notice about me
I’m not here to give perfect answers.
I’m not here to motivate you with surface-level ideas.
And I’m not here to be agreeable just for the sake of it.
I’m here to be honest.
Even when that honesty is uncomfortable.
Even when it challenges how things are usually seen.
Even when it doesn’t land perfectly.
Because I think there’s more value in truth than in being liked.
This is where I stand...
I’m not here to present a finished version of myself.
I’m here in the middle of it.
Still learning.
Still questioning.
Still figuring things out.
But doing it without hiding behind a version of myself
that feels easier to present.
And that’s what this is. No version left.
