Soul on Fire with John O’Leary

Oct 14, 2025 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts John O’Leary—bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and producer of the new feature film Soul on Fire.

Tune in to hear John share the “two chapters” behind his story—the miraculous rescue at age nine and the years of hiding before finally learning to live openly—while honoring the people he says are the true heroes: the nurses, the neighbors, his dad, and his wife, Beth. Listen as he recounts his father’s moving reflection after seeing the film, and explains why Soul on Fire offers a powerful and timely reminder that ordinary courage and grace can still change lives.
