Dr. Noah St John grew up in extreme poverty in Kennebunkport, Maine, one of New England's wealthiest towns, living in an unfinished house his family lost to foreclosure at age 15. He says those experiences shaped his three decades of coaching work worldwide.
Before I got into this business of helping people, coaching people, you know, from all around the world for the last 30 years, I grew up poor in a rich neighborhood. And I know that's a total cliché, but it's true. I grew up in this little town called Kennebunkport, Maine, which is one of the wealthiest communities in New England. But my family was dirt poor. And I mean that literally because we lived at the bottom of a dirt road in a drafty, unfinished house that my parents ended up losing to foreclosure when I was just 15 years old.
