John Polo

John Polo is a coach, author and speaker.

In January of 2016, John became a widower after his amazing wife, Michelle, died of cancer.

From the rubble of everything that he once knew, consumed by desperation and despair, John held on long enough until he found his hope. And he slowly rebuilt.

Today John helps others through his social media, books, coaching, workshops, speeches and podcasts.

From grief to dating, self-growth and everything in between, John offers a style of coaching that is not only effective, but also very personal and unique.

John is the author of four books, host of two podcasts and has worked with clients on over 4,000 coaching sessions. He has been featured on People.com, NBC, The Huffington Post, Yahoo, Fox and more.

Despite suffering from some life-long social anxiety, John’s favorite aspect of his career is public speaking.

“I mean if I’m being honest I feel like I am going to throw up every time, but once I get out there the magic happens. Or so that’s what I tell myself lol.”

In his free time John enjoys spending time with his step-daughter, sitting in the sun, kicking MS’s ass and making people (mostly himself) laugh.

He currently resides in Illinois, but has plans of living by the beach one day soon.

“I have been broken so many times in my life, and yet here I am even after thinking that I could never go on. It is possible to rebuild. Yourself, and your life. My goal is to help people through their pain and struggles, so that they can create - and enjoy - a better tomorrow.”
