Turning Point with Jay Schadler | When the Foundation Cracks, the Light Gets In According to John Roundtree

Jay Schadler Interviews John Rountree

John Rountree has spent his career designing homes built to harness the sun — structures made to be resilient, efficient, and full of light. But long before he became an architect, he learned something about foundations: they can fail. At 21, a life-threatening illness stripped everything down to the studs. Years later, approaching middle age, a spiritual awakening rebuilt what remained. His story moves along two converging paths — one physical, one transcendent — and arrives somewhere unexpected: at gratitude, purpose, and a life designed, finally, with the light in mind.
