"The ratings are no coincidence. John is a rare mix of musical talent who is equally adept at storytelling and interviewing. People respond to the show because they find humor, tears, great music, compassion and inspiring examples of people just like them who have overcome tremendous obstacles like depression, cancer, poverty, abuse, and who have found their way home." Talent Manual Magazine.
Bio
John Burton began his career in corporate turnaround/start-up in a wide range of industries from stock photography to residential construction, all the while performing and composing his original music.
In 2012 John suffered a severe mental health crisis. His unique recovery story led to his retirement from corporate work and served as the theme for his one man show Home From Here, which plays to standing ovations. The overwhelmingly positive reception to the show and the sharing of other people's stories at them gave birth to the Home From Here Show, a globally ranked talk/music show.
"It took a hot minute," Burton says, "for me to find my calling. But I have. Home From Here is my mission and my life's work. And it happens because people are brave enough to share, knowing that what they are sharing is inspiring people all over the world. Strength comes from vulnerability, beauty is born of pain, and laughter and love heal far more powerfully than anything else."
Listener Comments
"You had me laughing and crying and not sure which to do first."
"John has found his life's calling and the flow is obvious."
"John I listen to every show at least twice. I wanted to say thank you for lifting me up. Your story is inspirational as I deal with my own son's issues and the fact that you joke about mental health takes the fear out of it. The show is a gift."
"Reminiscent of the great James Taylor and as funny as a modern day comedienne."
"Addictive if you have a heart."
