If You FEEL LOST In Life, Watch This To CHANGE EVERYTHING! | John McAvoy & Rangan Chatterjee

Subscribe to Friday Five for my popular weekly newsletter - my tips, my experience, my inspiration, what’s working for me. A high five from me to you: drchatterjee.com/fridayfive
This is John’s third appearance on the podcast, but for those new to his story, he was a teenager raised into a life of organised crime. By the age of 18 he was one of the UK’s most notorious armed robbers and was sentenced to two life sentences. John spent 10 years in maximum-security prisons but during that time he transformed his life, describing his release as a ‘rebirth’.
Today John’s not just a record-breaking, Nike-sponsored athlete, he’s a man on a mission to make amends and make sure no other child goes that same route into crime. Through initiatives like his Open Doors campaign, to give young people access to school sports facilities during holidays, he’s inspiring new generations to rewrite their stories.

Thank you, truly inspiring! I'm reminded of this quote related to inner power, inner freedom and self-trust: *Because you were meant to serve the world, the world calls it out of you.* *But you must be in a position to respond.* If your life is completely caught up in what you have created for yourself, you are bound by circumstances and obligations and expectations and relationships. If your life is in disarray. If the Four Pillars of your life have never been built or established, you cannot respond to a greater calling. You do not have the *power* to do it. You do not have the *freedom* to do it. You do not have the *self-trust* to do it. You may feel it and it may shake you to the soul, but you are imprisoned in a life that you have allowed to be built up around you or that you have actively established yourself. From: *New Message on Fulfillment* by *Marshall Vian Summers*

Thank you, E K.

Thanks, EK.

Thank you

[@carolashlee8002]

Loved listening to this. I agree with a lot Johns philosophies. Especially about religion and there being no after life. When your gone your gone. I know this because I’m sure my sons would let me know, he died 10 years ago.

[@elsadorian8339]

how refreshing!! I have three sons whom I spend all of my energy in constant appreciation. So many challenges to face in this world. Its so refreshing to relate with you, John McAvoy. Thank you for sharing. And thanks to Dr. Chatterjee for hosting!! Great works. This podcast is very inspiring and gives a very much strength and courage. Life is not so simple. so many exposures to choose, so many directions. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your all of your efforts of survival.

[@16Elless]

Another amazing talk. What an inspirational person John is. Never tire of listening to him. For the vast majority of us whatever tough stuff is happening there’s always someone in a much worse place. I’ve had some health issues over the last 3 years & it’s made me realise what’s important in life. On those days when I feel like it’s “unfair” I remind myself that actually I’m a lot more fortunate than many & I have much more empathy now.

[@abrahamsilcott2916]

John, you're a legend, and a true inspiration to me 58yrs and am sure many more people in the world. You are an angel, sent by God to inspire humanity

[@MalcolmHamersley]

Another top drawer podcast. Keep up the great work. John Mcavoy seems very happy, content and much calmer than previous podcast appearances. Love listening to the two of you discussing John,s life. Fair play to John for upping sticks and moving to France. If you don't have to spend it. You don't have to earn it. We need a no4. Podcast. ( from the French Alps).....The effects of the Pandemic will be felt for decades.....All the best from Ireland. 🇮🇪

[@sharonappleton22]

Thank you for this, John is so inspiring that I cannot stop listening. I really enjoy theses long podcasts 😊

[@DeanReadYorkshire]

Thank you to you both for this deep and powerful conversation. I am going to watch it over again and let it really sink in, then take out what really resonates with me and see where it takes me going forward. I love these long form conversations, I can’t tell you how much of a positive impact they have made already on my thinking and life in general. Thanks again. 🙂

[@dtla5052]

Amazing talk. So thankful for this 🙏 Please continue the good work

[@moniquemitchell7326]

Thank you - What an amazing authentic man... I heard the earlier interview; it always makes me stop and reflect 😊

[@barbarahayes5869]

We are all equals is the best message we can share with each other ❤

[@shumrairzkhan5797]

fantastic podcast. john mcevoy world class

[@samsampson7607]

Such an inspirational podcast & amazing young man!

[@winniethuo9736]

Access to physical activities for kids in a safe space. SAFE SPACE. Kids are the best thing that the humans have got until grown up ruins them. My Kids friends so us through as a family when we had a COVID attack. Kids friendships are not based on race but on being kids. Their friendship normally will have no eyes but attraction in the kid. Grownups take this away from them and when the world feels this in their bones and respond by teaching themselves first what they are missing due to this childhood disadvantage caused by the generation before them , they can teach that child to belong rather than make tribes. Tomorrow is bleak because we are making wrong decisions and settling in them. Great stuff this is. Dr G Matē is also changing us.

Loved this video🥰🥰🥰

Imagine if he'd been introduced to sport and rowing when.he was 8 or 9 ,or even 12 or 13 and see his potential in that way...he could've been.an Olympic athlete...

[@danagodfrey2979]

Can we focus on health vs this myopic pharmaceutical view that politicians have?! 🙏

He speaks very like a Muslim..

[@cynthiagraham4701]

Maybe you didnt actually watch or hear this to the end because he states he does not beleive in God.
