Surviving reality TV fame, a deployment with the military and countless challenges throughout his life and career, Author, Speaker, Television Personality and Veteran Mike Johnson is making the love he wants and broadcasting big ideas on life, love and learning to overcome by discovering the power within. With his focus on self-love, the breakout star from ABC’s “The Bachelorette” is transforming audiences by showcasing his global influence through brave storytelling and big smiles.
When he was selected to join season 15 of ABC’s long-running, smash-hit reality dating series, “The Bachelorette,” Johnson was met with conflicting emotions: he welcomed the opportunity to possibly find true love, however, he knew it could push him to expose pieces of his broken past and painful experiences on a national stage. Johnson quickly emerged as a series frontrunner and fan-favorite, as audiences fell in love with his kind heart, joyous demeanor, charm and million-dollar smile. Once he left the franchise Johnson was compelled to take a deeper dive into his past and now writes and speaks on how the ability to overcome stems from the power within.
For nearly a decade Johnson has been an active mentor and spokesperson with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. He is also an avid traveler and has been to more than 30 countries– his deep understanding of other cultures and compassion for all people is central to his work as a writer, speaker and entrepreneurial powerhouse.
