Here are some interesting facts and insights about John Hopkins:

John “Hoppy” Hopkins is a creative, founder, and Life & Death guide. He created Dying to Live with Purpose, a project and Substack dedicated to exploring how the wisdom of mortality can unlock deeper clarity, courage, and meaning in life.
John is a trained Soul Midwife (an end-of-life guide), who has sat with the dying, and believes that acknowledging mortality can transform the way we live and lead, helping us dissolve fears and unlock hidden potential.
He has faced near-death experiences himself, which deeply influenced his philosophy: turning toward the reality of Death makes life much more vivid and meaningful. As he says, “Death becomes your greatest teacher. You stop performing and start living. You stop chasing meaning and start embodying it.“ .livepurpose
John studied natural philosophy and has led creative projects (including directing films and founding companies). Still, he is most passionate about teaching how facing Death is the key to truly living.
Famous quote from John: “You align with life itself, fully, fiercely, freely.“ livepurpose
He uses weekly essays, videos, and practical tools to help people overcome limiting fears, heal from grief, and discover their purpose in the face of mortality.
He’s active in interviewing leading thinkers (including a TED speaker and clinical psychologist) on how Death and purpose intersect.
John shares moving personal stories, including how holding his father as he died helped him find unexpected peace and truths about living and letting go.
John Hopkins has a strong online presence, you can find more of his insights on LivePurpose.co, Substack, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

These points will help your audience see John Hopkins not just as a thought leader, but as someone who has lived and breathed his philosophy, and is committed to helping others do the same.
