Travis Johnson, When Giving Back is an Adventure Novel
My interview this month is with Travis Johnson–no relation but I’d be delighted to claim him!
Despite numerous obstacles he’s had to surmount, Travis is a successful giver in every sense of that term.
His humble beginnings include 36 moves before graduating high school at 17, 6 states, 5 foster homes, and surviving 2 murder attempts. Although this was very rough, there was always a person, group, or church willing to help him and his family. Now that he’s in a position to give back, he’s made it his mission to “Help the Helpers”.
Travis shares his perspective as the former vice president of Books by Vets; a board member at the S.H.I.N.E. foundation; he’s donated over $30,000; volunteered over 1,500 hours; raised more than $500,000; helped start 6 nonprofits; event coordinator; and published author.
My conversation with Travis is like delving into an adventure novel with giving back as the theme.
