Johnny Crowder’s story is so crazy it doesn’t even seem real.
As a suicide and abuse survivor with severe OCD and experiencing hallucinations, Johnny was no stranger to negative and dark thoughts.
Yet today, here are some of the ways that he’s currently saving lives by sharing his story of overcoming these experiences:
- Lead vocalist of the heavy metal band, Prison that shares empowering lyrics and saves lives. Here are just a small sample of the comments on his videos:
- “Him and the band he’s in is the reason I’m still alive and working on my mental health today”
- “Hearing his music, hearing his words, feeling that support.. hearing the music and the lyrics that hit me and seemed to understand me, has helped me continue to be here and exist today.”
- 2x TEDx speaker with his talks that have over 1M views
- CEO of a company called Cope Notes, which has impacted 38K+ lives through helping people eliminate negative thoughts
Oh, and that’s not to mention a few other small things that he’s overcom(ing)…
Including losing his house to Hurricane Milton in October 2024, and almost dying in a plane crash (seriously).
But story aside, Johnny is one of the most incredible dudes you’ll ever meet.
I got to meet him in person after one of his keynotes and we hung out for several hours that evening…
He’s one of the most loving, caring, kind guys you’ll meet.
I seriously can’t wait for you to listen to this one…
