John McLaughlin spent half his life bootstrapping his start-up business to an industry leader. His desire to teach what he spent his career learning led him on a remarkable journey through the gates of a minimum-security prison where he taught entrepreneurship for almost three years. John has an MBA, a teaching certificate, and a marketing management certificate from Harvard Extension University. John enjoys riding a tandem bicycle with his wonderful wife, Reba on the greenways of Charlotte, North Carolina where they live with two extremely spoiled cats, Moe and Joe.
John Elliott-White is a semi-retired engineer, lifelong learner and concerned observer of mental suffering. He served in engineering roles in the UK Royal Navy for 22 years before beginning a second career as an engineering consultant. Now sharing an empty nest with his wife in Western Australia, he spends much of his time researching ancient wisdom, writing, and telling lame jokes.
