This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is John Garrett—a keynote speaker, award winning author, consultant, and the creator of the powerful concept known as “What’s Your And?” If you’re looking for the X factor in how to build a culture where people actually perform at their best, feel connected, and bring their whole selves to work… John is the guy you need to hear from.
John started his career as a CPA before breaking the mold—quite literally—by becoming a nationally touring comedian. And that’s what sparked his groundbreaking discovery: people are more than their job titles, and organizations that embrace their employees’ outside-of-work passions—what he calls their “Ands”—build stronger cultures, retain talent longer, and unlock levels of performance and engagement most leaders never tap into.
He’s worked with companies like PwC, AstraZeneca, and Microsoft, and written the bestseller What’s Your And? His message is simple but transformative: We perform better when we bring all of who we are to what we do. And for entrepreneurs and business owners looking to build thriving, winning cultures—John’s frameworks are pure gold.
I’ve personally spent time with John and seen him present his concepts live. His insights land. His stories resonate. And the applications for leaders are immediate.
