Current keynote speaker, emcee, and host of What’s Your \"And\"? Podcast, John graduated from the University of Notre Dame and became a CPA with PricewaterhouseCoopers before working several years in industry. Since then, he’s written two Emmy-nominated awards shows, has a comedy album on Sirius XM, and has been on stage over 2,000 times, opening for the likes of comedian Louie Anderson and the band Train. He received his Certified Public Accountant Certificate from the State of Illinois. As a former CPA, Senior Financial Analyst and Business Development Director, John’s experience ranges from being an integral team member for his Big Four Firm’s largest financial services client to helping launch a startup company. The CPA-turned-Catalyst for Culture Change has been researching how professional’s hobbies and passions impact their career and in turn, create a stronger workplace culture. Now he works with organizations to attract and retain top talent by adapting to “the future of professionalism.” He steps up to shatter the stereotype about accountants and explains that everyone has a unique skillset or passion that should be brought to the office to build trust and create a high performing culture.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rcJwxyy46Yq0jlhpApzZH7lMN9921MWulzRUL5_-3sg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwNTcvMTcwMjQ5/ODcwNC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
