We had the good fortune of connecting with John Sorochinsky and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi John, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my business as a calling to help people live a life worth telling a story about.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
19 years ago I started a business in another field that became very successful and taught me and gave me experience as to coaching, elevating and bringing out the best in others. So the success of my business allowed me to make a shift into fitness and mindset coaching with a mindset of giving back and creating Impact on other in a way that helped them recognize life doesn’t stop because we age, life stops because we quit trying and requiring something of ourselves. My coaching is all about teaching people how to create habits and rituals that will allow them to live a life worth telling a story about, which will also instill an Impact mindset so they can create impact.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Start downtown with a great workout and then some breakfast. Maybe a hike in the mountains or a bike ride on our 48 mile rail trail.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I have been so blessed with mentors and leaders my entire life starting at a very young age that poured into me and helped shape and mold the man I am today. My main mentor was my Dad, he never let me take the easy way out and set an example of never wavering in his values and maintaining a standard of doing hard stuff made us better. Todd Durkin is a big reason I took the dive into coaching with his Impact message, he spoke to me on a deep level and was the type of mentor I prayed for to come into my life and here we are!
