On his own since 13, John Bowling started work as a commercial fisherman, pulling in King Crab and salmon off the coast of Alaska. It’s one of the most grueling and dangerous jobs on the planet. Now John holds a PhD in psychology and provides leadership learning with his consulting operation, Sustainable Leadership. We hit it off from the git-go. We share a kaleidoscopic career path, enthusiasm for learning, and a childlike hunger for discovery. Like mine, John’s path has prepared him to accept sitting with uncertainty.
