John Borland, better known by his stage name Johnny Irish, has spent his life surrounded by music, but a near-fatal car accident changed the way he understood what really mattered.
Then, in an instant, everything shifted.
As his car flipped and he became convinced he was going to die, John wasn’t thinking about fame or the next album. He was thinking about the people he loved, the family he hadn’t yet built, and the life he still wanted to live.
Years later, sobriety became another defining turning point, deepening his relationship with music, strengthening his connection to others, and helping him rediscover happiness in a new way.
In this episode of
I Choose Happy, Marilyn talks with Johnny Irish about survival, sobriety, family, teaching, connection, and the music that has carried him through every chapter.
