Ep. 161. In this episode, I sit down with John Diggs, a former NFL player turned Mappineering mentor, whose journey from professional football to personal reinvention is nothing short of inspiring. After losing everything, John discovered the power of mind mapping—not just as an organizational tool, but as a pathway to clarity, self-discovery, and personal growth.
Together, we explore how Mappineering combines mind mapping with personal development, and why structuring your thoughts can transform the way you make decisions. John introduces the Five W’s and H technique for problem-solving, shares powerful client success stories—including how mind mapping reshaped relationships—and explains how the “I Am Mind Map” can help define your identity and guide your goals.
One of my favourite moments was hearing John say, “Life is meant to be loved.” That line captures the essence of our conversation: living intentionally, making conscious choices, and embracing clarity as the foundation of a meaningful life.
