Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 27, Jon initially ignored his condition, pushing himself to extremes. After his health declined, he embarked on an odyssey to understand life's essential elements, leading him to create a wellbeing system called the Seven Vibrants. Jon shares how his diagnosis propelled him to write his book, turning a personal struggle into a source of inspiration and guidance for others. He shares how he struggled for years to understand the concept of ‘showing’ versus telling, but when he did, how that changed everything about the way he writes—and gave rise to the tenth anniversary edition of his memoir and a wholly new page one. Jon is a testament to how writing can literally help us rewrite our lives and play a significant role in our healing. If you’ve ever wondered if you can tell your story some day, listen to Jon and be encouraged. Shadow Summit: A Journey from M.S. to the Other Side of Impossible will remind you of the human capacity to rebuild our lives after loss by choosing a path to restoring our vibrancy. This is one of my favorite conversations of 2025. I hope you enjoy it too. \n"}
