Born in the creative hotbed of Pacoima in northern LA, John Diggs earned a scholarship to play football at Washington State University and went on to play five years in the NFL and CFL before officially retiring in 1995. John then built and owned one of Southern California's most outstanding mortgage brokerages.When the mortgage meltdown of 2008 triggered this country's "Great Recession," John lost his business, his home, and his family. Going from the highs of success on every front to the low of sleeping on his mom's couch, however, turned out to provide the backdrop for a life-changing idea.It was during that low point that Diggs decided to use Mind Mapping to sort through and document every book, CD, notebook, and piece of motivational and inspirational advice he had accumulated in the "Big-Ass Box" he dragged over to his mom's house. During the three-month process, John developed and applied a system using Mind Mapping that transformed his life. He then realized that since the system worked so well for him, he could help others who were facing challenges and hardship. So, as he was putting his own life back together, Diggs created a way to share what he had learned with others. John's Love Life system helps people learn how to live their best lives regardless of their current circumstances. The author's first four books and accompanying mini courses walk readers through that system.Most recently, Diggs published "What's in YOUR Big-Ass Box?" inspired by his January 2023 TEDx Talk in Gainesville, Florida. The video of that talk is now available on YouTube or at JohnDiggs.com. "What's in YOUR Big-Ass Box?" shows readers how to use Mappineering to examine the beliefs and mindsets that may be preventing them from loving their lives to the fullest.John is the Host of MappineerVille.com, an online community designed to help passionate people that committed to living their best lives engineer beautiful Mind Maps to Love Life More! John lives in Gilbert, Arizona where he raises two beautiful teen-age daughters, owns a mortgage software development company, and is the leader of a Love Life coaching community.
