Synopsis
This is the story of John Gallucci Jr. and his unconventional and inspiring road to personal and professional success ― and the methods he eagerly passes along to other people looking to get started.
He'll tell us the whole story, in his own words, and manage to work in a past 50th birthday meeting with heavy-metal legend and entrepreneur Gene Simmons, the bass guitarist and co-lead singer of the rock band KISS.
It's a story that combines the road less travelled with an unshakable will to succeed, often against large odds. It's about a man who set his heart and mind on becoming a successful businessman ― and then followed a plan that got him there.
Hopefully his voice will resonate with our audience ― young and old alike ― as the president & CEO of JAG Physical Therapy continues expanding his comprehensive outpatient physical therapy company that has grown to over 140 locations throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
It's a voice that has already been heard ― he added the regional Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year to a long list of previous accomplishments ― while continuing to be a prolific author/motivational speaker/mentor as well as husband and father of two children.
John Gallucci Jr. had neither an easy path to success nor a surefire guarantee against failure, but he certainly wasn't afraid to take on challenges or grasp hold of a tenacious work ethic.
We hope you enjoy "The JAG Method" as much as we did compiling the life stories and lessons within these pages.
