John L. Antonio

John spent 15 years in a seminary training to become a Catholic priest.

A sudden life event threw him out of his quiet monastic habits and into the world of taxes, bills, careers and romance.

Since then, he has become an author and lifestyle revolutionary who advocates less screen time, more spontaneous encounters, fewer worries and a life full of meaningful connections.

He details his initial journey in his memoir, Dating and Other Things Catholic and shares his full spontaneous life philosophy in Always Say Hi which immediately became an Amazon Best Seller.

John wants to empower people to feel meaningful connections anywhere, anytime, with almost anyone.

His work has been praised by podcast phenomena Justin Schenck (The Growth Now Movement), Ryan Huff and been broadcast to millions of listeners on EWTN radio, the Call Me Catholic Show, and At Home with Jim and Joy.

Today, John coaches people to social freedom by learning how to talk to anyone and create a meaningful connection anytime. He also, mentors first-time authors to share their own unique message with the world as he began doing 10 years ago.
