ABOUT JOHN MORRIS:
John Morris, born on April 3, 1988, emerged as an artistic prodigy with an unbridled imagination early in life. Faced with challenges such as Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Amaurosis, and colitis, John turned adversity into opportunity, discovering that his unique perspective could be a source of inspiration for himself and those around him.
As the sole child in his family, John's vivid imagination became his steadfast companion. Rather than succumbing to the difficulties posed by his learning and physical differences, he harnessed these "disabilities" as catalysts for creativity and resilience.
Through captivating paintings and engaging videos, John has become a beacon of inspiration, touching the lives of hundreds of thousands of fans on a weekly basis. In the realm of literature, he redefines the concept of the traditional heroes, crafting characters that resonate with all.
Beyond the realm of art, John's journey has been marked by a continual quest for knowledge and a refusal to be constrained by preconceived limitations. He has successfully completed over two dozen university-level courses at renowned institutions such as Yale, Harvard, MITT, Stamford, and the Open University. These courses span diverse disciplines, including psychology (with a specialization in human behavior), philosophy, art, business, history, and theology. His most recent academic endeavor involves delving into the complexities of computer science through Harvard's esteemed course and AI technology.
In tandem with his academic pursuits, John's extensive experience spans more than two decades of working with individuals across various age groups from children and youths to adults and the elderly. This rich tapestry of experiences has been a cornerstone in co-creating teen life coaching, creative business made simple, whispers of the highlands, art from the heart and several other initiatives. In his ongoing ventures, John serves as a living testament to the transformative power of unwavering persistence and an indomitable spirit, continually defying odds and challenging skeptics.
Seeking to be all things to all men, I study much, master none, always seeking to be a student of life and to help when and where I can and with whomever should cross my life's path.
