When everything clicks, the impossible becomes possible.”About John, from his friends:“I have been humbled and extremely grateful to get to know a man who, in the face of his adversities, chooses to find things every day to be grateful for and to always keep his smile. John encourages everyone that crosses his path to live their best life.This is John’s story, as told to me by John, and transcribed by me over a series of interviews from October 2021.I am honored to have shared this journey with John. He is an inspiration and a person who, once you meet him, will make an indelible mark on your life.”– Maria Lamari“As we read John’s life story, those who do not know him personally will now know who he is. A genuine friend to all. A person who looked to give advice or help a friend in any way possible.John can adapt to any situation and find a positive direction within his ability. Even near the end, he still says, “I'm good,” because at that moment, despite his [ALS], he is good. Reminding me and everyone he cares about to BREATHE, do what you love, and never lose your smile…”– Matty Reinhardt“All of that [John] just given me an odd thought. At the end of the day, could this all simply be Johnny’s world, and we’re just living in it… Well, should that turn out to be the case, I think I’d be cool with that.Love you Johnnyboy, now and forever…”– Kevin“My Peacock highlight reel would run like this: hundreds of days snowboarding together side by side, filming each other and making snowboard movies, learning new tricks together on the slopes, sharing new life hacks we each had learned, working at the Pyeongchang Olympics building jumps for stunts, and being my SBBF (‘Snowboarding Best Friend’).”– Mark Backhurst"I first met John when I was teaching and living in Seoul, South Korea in 2014. I believe it was at a party at HBC fest. I didn’t realize then how big of an impact our friendship would have on my life. We bonded initially over a love of yoga, sports, meditation, traveling, and talking about the mind and the power of positivity. His talent and love of the slopes even inspired me to try out skiing for the first time!"– Sophie Zarod-HallIf you like what you read in this book, you can check John Giacomazzi out on Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/john.giacomazzi) or Instagram (@peacock64) and watch all his videos.If you have time to post a review, that would be highly appreciated.
