John Couret

John Couret is the President and CEO of Write Hook Media, LLC, a social entrepreneurial publishing company and author agency. He is the author of Breaking Barriers: How to Knock Out Adversity and Live Life as a Champion, a speaker, a success coach, and the host of “Breaking Barriers” on New Orleans community radio station 102.3 WHIV (“We Honor Independent Voices”). He has acted in feature films as well as on television. His followers look forward to his daily quotes, which are posted to his social media platforms. His weekly motivational blog posts every Monday and he hosts a weekly video series on YouTube called “Championship Minute,” which features a 60-second motivational message every Wednesday. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, John lived his childhood as a troubled youth, making poor choices and traveling down a self-destructive path. He left New York in his early twenties, renouncing the power and temptations that a life of crime offered. He moved to Florida and, during one of the lowest moments in his life, spent a year living homeless on the streets, eating out of garbage cans. John’s indomitable spirit prevailed and he eventually landed on his feet, creating a successful career in the auto industry. Recently, he had an accident that left him legally blind. Through the healing process, John learned that although he lost his sight, he did not lose his vision. Now, his attention has shifted to empowering youth and people with his personal message of being “constructive, not destructive,” and living the life of a champion with integrity, purpose, and passion.
