Creator and Host of Positive Talk Radio and its Parent Company KMmedia.pro

Journalist, stand-up comic, janitor, theater performer, electronics technician, small-business consultant, public affairs specialist, and disco dance instructor. John Verrico still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but has learned not to take life too seriously and to experience everything life has to offer. Former president of the National Association of Government Communicators and retired Navy Master Chief with more than 40 years of experience as a communication professional in media, community, and employee relations, John Verrico founded Share Your Fire, LLC, and is now a high-energy, thought-provoking, and humorously nerdy international speaker and leadership coach providing workshops on communication, motivation, resilience, and balance. He earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in communication.

Larry was progressing steadily through his career as a corporate immigration lawyer when, at the age of 49, he was confronted with the life-altering diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. After going through the debilitating stage of grief, he emerged to find life worth living again.
