John's career journey is also brought into focus, highlighting his diverse roles and how these workplace’s have accommodated his condition during challenging episodes.
 
 As we wrap up our conversation, John sets our sights towards the future discussing his potential plans to venture into public speaking and harness the power of storytelling to connect with others and share his experiences.
