#25 Army, Life and Mindfulness with the Master of Zen John Taylor

My guest in this episode is John Taylor from What’s in the Bag. John is the reason that I started the Travelling Optimist so it's only right that he gets to share his incredible story with us. 

John’s journey starts as the kid who always wanted to be outside climbing trees to becoming a mind-set coach and golfing Buddha for people all over the world. 

Born into a military family, John learns to adapt to change at an early age as his father is posted all around Europe. Leaving school John joins the army too, with distinguished tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia.

He loves eastern philosophy and conveys this thinking to his clients who benefit from JT’s wise and beautiful teachings. If I was to summarise John I would say that he brings a fresh perspective to life his calmness and energy is nothing but remarkable and I loved having a conversation about his life. 

He’s one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

So this is a conversation about life, mindfulness and finding your zen baby!
