About Johnny

Tools for Change and Support Network

It’s not just about telling my story. It’s about what comes next.

When you’re ready to change your life, the hardest part is knowing how. I remember wanting to change — badly — but I didn’t have the tools, the knowledge, or the network. That’s why I’m not here just to inspire you. I’m here to equip you.

This platform is about more than second chances.
It’s about real tools that you can use when you’re ready and real opportunities to build something for yourself.

Built on Lived Experience, Delivered with Purpose

What I offer is built on lived experience:

  • Mindset and resilience techniques to stay strong through tough moments
  • Coping strategies for life after prison or addiction
  • Daily routines and wellbeing practices that anchor long-term recovery
  • Purpose-driven planning to help you find what gets you out of bed each day
Built on Lived Experience, Delivered with Purpose

Tools to help you earn, grow, and lead.

  • Learn how to turn your story into public speaking opportunities, mentoring, or peer-led programs
  • Gain the confidence to apply for jobs, start a trade, or run your own thing
  • Develop skills that translate into income and impact
Backed by Connection, Driven by Change

A Community of Support

I’m building more than a platform. I’m building a network.

Whether you’ve just come out of prison, are on the road to recovery, or you’re stuck in a cycle you want to break — you’re not alone. This community is for people who want to share, grow, and support each other through:

  • Live talks and workshops
  • Online chats and support groups
  • Podcasts with people who’ve walked the same path
  • A growing network of people changing their lives together

 

You’ll be able to reach out, ask for advice, and maybe even give back by mentoring someone else. Because the truth is: you don’t just heal by being helped you heal by helping too.

This is a space for people who are ready to change or almost ready. If you’re one of them, I’m here for you.

Key Topics & Themes

What I Talk About And Why It Matters

Johnny’s sessions are flexible and tailored for each audience, but they always come back to the following themes:

The Power of Choice

We can’t always change our circumstances, but we can change our response.

Building Self-Worth

How low self-esteem feeds negative cycles—and how to rebuild it.

Mindfulness & Mental Health

Practical tools to stay present, manage emotions, and make better decisions.

Purpose & Meaning

Finding what gets you out of bed in the morning and keeps you moving forward.

Fitness & Discipline

How body and mind training helped anchor my recovery.

Tools for Change

What to do when you're ready not just why you should be.

Who I Speak To

Reaching People Where It Matters Most

Bringing real stories, hard-earned wisdom, and genuine connection to every audience. From classrooms to boardrooms, prison wings to youth centres, I speak to people where they are—sharing lived experience and practical tools for change. My talks are shaped by raw honesty and a deep belief that it’s never too late to turn things around. I work with:

Schools & Colleges

Inspiring young people with real stories and life lessons before it’s too late.

Prisons

Speaking from lived experience to offer a blueprint for reform and rehabilitation.

Businesses and Corporate Groups

Delivering talks on mindset, resilience, and the power of choice.

Community Projects & Youth Initiatives

Reaching underserved areas with tools, hope, and support.

Testimonial

What They Say

I first met Jonny over 40 years ago while serving a prison sentence in a young offenders' institution. Decades later, through my recovery programme from alcohol and drug addiction, our paths crossed again — but this time, we were both clean and sober after years of struggle. Now, we use our lived experience to educate and inspire others, showing the real consequences of addiction. I truly believe that first-hand experience is far more valuable than anything you can learn online. We offer hope to those still battling addiction — living proof that there is life after it — and Jonny is a real asset to society.
Paul Hannaford
Community & School Speaker
Johnny came to Build School of Construction to give a talk to our young students on drug and alcohol awareness. The session was very well received, and we had excellent feedback from both students and staff. His honest, engaging approach really made an impact, and we would definitely welcome him back again in the future.
