Alan is familiar with adversity, bouncing back from setbacks, and facing fear. Lynn's long-time friend is the tenth Canadian to summit the world's tallest peak, Mt. Everest. Three years following that incredible accomplishment, Alan was diagnosed with the very aggressive blood cancer, acute leukemia, and given less than a year to live. Through a long, intensive journey of treatment, today he is one of less than a few dozen people in the world ever to regain an elite level of fitness after an adult blood stem cell transplant for the treatment of leukemia. 
Alan has been a guest on Oprah and has written seven books. He has created, with philanthropic effort, the world's first program for those newly diagnosed with cancer, called The Climb Back from Cancer Survivorship Program. The program is available through SurviveCANcer.ca
Your host, Lynn Thompson and her guest, Alan Hobson, speak for almost 50 minutes on The On Purpose Podcast.

Lynn Thompson speaking with John Heney (in Ottawa, Ontario Canada) about Spiritual Mechanics applied to conditions on the planet in April 2020.
From 2014 recordings, see Part 1 Spiritual Mechanic John Heney.
John Heney provides mentoring, talks, instruction, groups, writing, humour and demonstration in applying the wisdom of what he calls Spiritual Mechanics. All in a lighthearted approach to lessen our load and raise our effectiveness in making the world a better place.
Born in Montreal in 1956, John holds a Bachelor of Journalism with Political Science and a Master’s in International Affairs. He has authored three books and contributed to eight more in applying his love of writing and research, also folding in his passion of history as a means to convey how people are so interconnected. He holds the City of Ottawa Distinguished Service Award.
The fun he loves to harvest and share off his work with the principles around Spiritual Mechanics touches the lives of so many, including children, teachers, parents, public safety workers, and those in the traditional and alternative healing arts. His personal journey included a complex challenge facing a rare combination of five neurological disorders including a form of cerebral palsy and dystonia. This has led to a profound well of awareness and appreciation he continues to share with people from all walks of life. As he so often expresses, “We need more low-maintenance, high-benefit individuals ready to express the divinity they already have access to, as an inspiration breathing new life into how we create with and among each other!”  It is, he says, all in becoming a person you’d love to meet! John invites you to visit Heney Central to explore his work and offerings. Thank you for listening.
