In 2011, at the age of 42, John was divorced 3 times, a failure professionally, and was sick of life. Just 2 weeks before his 43rd birthday, John experienced a massive heart attack. In the throes of death, he realized he still had a purpose. With no education, money, or experience, John went on to create a successful company, The Good Contractors List, Inc., and won the coveted Entrepreneur of Excellence Award from Fort Worth Inc. Magazine for 2017. At age 50, John became a bodybuilder and fitness model, in spite of qualifying for a heart transplant. John is now a published author, public speaker, and humorously shares how he reconditioned his life from scratch in all areas of life...mind, body, and spirit.

The Presidents and the Pastime: The History of Baseball and the White House
The Presidents and the Pastime draws on Curt Smith's extensive background as a former White House presidential speechwriter to chronicle the historic relationship between baseball, the "most American" sport, and the U.S. presidency.
Smith, who USA TODAY calls "America's voice of authority on baseball broadcasting," starts before America's birth, when would be presidents played baseball antecedents. He charts how baseball cemented its reputation as America's pastime in the nineteenth century, such presidents as Lincoln and Johnson playing town ball or giving employees time off to watch. Smith tracks every U.S. president from Theodore Roosevelt to Donald Trump, each chapter filled with anecdotes: Wilson buoyed by baseball after suffering disability; a heroic FDR saving baseball in World War II; Carter, taught the game by his mother, Lillian; Reagan, airing baseball on radio that he never saw by "re-creation."
George H. W. Bush, for whom Smith wrote, explains, "Baseball has everything." Smith, having interviewed a majority of presidents since Richard Nixon, shares personal stories on each. Throughout, The Presidents and the Pastime provides a riveting narrative of how America's leaders have treated baseball. From Taft as the first president to throw the "first pitch" on Opening Day in 1910 to Obama's "Go Sox!" scrawled in the guest register at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, our presidents have deemed it the quintessentially American sport, enriching both their office and the nation.
