That’s the claim being made by billionaire John Collision of Stripe who fears this country is being stifled by red tape and can’t keep up with the demand to live, work and invest here. Minister Patrick O’Donovan also believes local authorities should be more transparent in their spending and should be brought before Oireachtas committees to explain their spending. Jerry got the views of Fianna Fáil councillor Mikey Sheehy from the Tralee Municipal District, Killarney MD’s John O’Donoghue of Kerry Independent Alliance, Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council Michael Foley of Fine Gael who represents the Listowel MD, and independent councillor for the Kenmare MC, Johnny Healy-Rae.

Kids and Families pastor John O'Brien brings an incredible word on the role children play in the Kingdom of God.
We present a deeply moving conversation with host Shawn French as he sits down with John O'Leary — bestselling author, motivational speaker, and the real-life inspiration behind the new William H. Macy film Soul on Fire. At just nine years old, John survived an explosion that left him with burns over 100% of his body and a 0% chance to live. What followed was nothing short of miraculous — a story not of one man's toughness, but of an entire community showing up when it mattered most. John and Shawn dive into the transformative power of love, faith, and community, exploring how the people around us can literally bring us back to life. John shares how his parents' fierce love, Jack Buck's unwavering mentorship, and his wife Beth's quiet strength helped shape a life of purpose. He opens up about the fine line between victimhood and victory, and how choosing to serve others became the ultimate path to healing. The two also reflect on Soul on Fire, the film that immortalizes John's journey — including personal touches like his wife's actual wedding dress and his late father's powerful final scene on set. Together, they reveal how acts of kindness, no matter how small, can create ripples that outlive us all. This isn't a story about survival. It's a masterclass in what it means to live — fully, vulnerably, and for others. Key Takeaways: -You can be a victim or a victor — the choice is always yours. -Community is the most powerful medicine for healing. -Tough love isn't cruelty; it's the pathway to freedom. -Mentorship and service are legacy multipliers — they outlive us. -True love sees beyond scars, ego, and circumstance. -Every act of kindness has a ripple effect far beyond what you'll ever see.

In 1987, John O'Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given a 1% chance to live. This epic story of survival was first showcased in his parents' book, Overwhelming Odds, in 2006. It was this book that first invited John to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world. John inspires nearly 75,000 people at 100+ events each year. John's first book, ON FIRE: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, was an instant #1 National Bestseller; his Live Inspired Podcast is a top 20 for business on iTunes & Inc. Magazine. His online community is 200,000 strong. John considers his greatest success to be his marriage to his wife, Beth, their four children, and his relationships with friends and family. I'm so honored to welcome John to the show to share his journey from near death to striving to multiply his talents and repay the generosity of others. He discusses his path to becoming a speaker and how saying yes to opportunities led to speaking in 50 states, dozens of countries, and at over 2,500 events. John also shares lessons from his own life to encourage leaders to be grounded and not worry too much about life's setbacks, as they will inevitably pass. “Generosity is not only about money. It's about time and attention.” - John O'Leary “Seeds are taking deeper root, the right next steps are happening, and God's Will be lived out.” - John O'Leary “The cool thing about generosity is it's never one plus one is two, it's a multiple.” - John O'Leary This Week on The Wow Factor: The shocking fire that burned 100% of 9-year-old John's body and his long process of recovery John's memory of lying in a hospital bed wrapped in bandages and hearing the voice of his hero Jack Buck and how his daily visits inspired John in his recovery How Jack, by speaking life and challenge over John, helped support his wider family How John managed to earn 60 signed baseballs and learn how to write again from his hospital bed The importance of being interruptible in life and making time for people who need us How John became a speaker, and he shares his experience of his first speaking engagement for an audience of three Girl Scouts John discusses the upcoming movie production for the film inspired by his story, with director Sean McNamara How John was able to finally help his parents in return when they suffered a second fire in their home John O'Leary's Words of Wisdom: My reminder to you is that this too shall pass. Almost everything on this side of eternity, the good and the bad, will eventually pass.

When life knocks us down or tragedy strikes us or our loved ones, it's easy to think life is unfair and wonder, “Why me?” But what if your greatest challenges—past and present—are actually divine opportunities for growth and contribution? My good friend, John O'Leary, knows this better than most. At just 9 years old, a gas can exploded, burning 100% of his body, and he was given virtually zero chance of survival. Yet he not only survived, he thrived, and has shared his inspiring story with millions of people around the world. And if that wasn't enough, his life story was told in the new Sony Pictures film, Soul on Fire, which was released last week. I took my wife and teenage kids to see it, and we all agreed that it is literally one of the best movies we have ever seen! In today's podcast episode, John joins me to share many heartfelt life lessons he learned from his father (who passed away 15 days after watching the movie), and he gives the backstory on one of the most powerful things his dad ever said: “I love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.” You'll hear how John turned his pain into purpose and suffering into a life of service and gratitude. From learning to say “yes” to being used for good, to discovering that real heroes are the people who show up and ask for nothing in return in our darkest moments. John's sincerity and wisdom may move you to tears, and hopefully inspire you to see your biggest challenges as divine opportunities for growth and contribution.

KMOX's Maria Keena catches up with John O'Leary, a motivational speaker from St Louis who, as a child, was burned on nearly 100% of his body in a house fire. His story of survival is the focus of a new movie, 'Soul On Fire', which is in movie theaters now.
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.

Mon. Oct. 13: 1) Pluto (The Transformer) turns Direct in AquariusThere's a shift from inner shadow excavation to outer empowerment. In Aquarius, the Transformer reanimates collective renewal — systems, technologies, and communities are being reborn. You may feel the tectonic plates of your psyche moving: what inner underworld work have you done since May that now wants to express in service of the greater good?Reflection Question:What truth about your power or your purpose is now ready to move from hidden depth into active expression?2) Venus (The Relational One) enters LibraTime to reimagine relationships not as compromise but as creative co-weaving. It's a cycle for listening with your whole being, for recalibrating the harmony between giving and receiving.Reflection Question:Where can you restore balance or beauty in how you meet the “other,” whether that's a person, project, or part of yourself?3) Venus opposes Neptune (The Dreamer)The Dreamer stirs visions of unconditional love and spiritual union, yet the Relational One seeks clarity and integrity. Watch for projections or disillusionment that can dissolve boundaries — or open portals to transcendent compassion.Reflection Question:How can you stay heart-open without losing the clarity of your own truth?Tuesday, October 14: Venus trines Uranus (The Awakener) in Gemini and Pluto (The Transformer) in AquariusVenus meets two agents of radical renewal, sparking relational breakthroughs, creative reinvention, and fresh freedom in connection. Something once stagnant can shift quickly now if you allow love to evolve beyond the familiar script.Reflection Question:What new pattern of relating or creating is ready to liberate you from an outdated way of connecting?Thurs. Oct. 16: Sun (The Heroic Self) in Libra squares Jupiter (The Teacher) in CancerThe Sun's light on partnership and fairness rubs against Jupiter's instinct to nurture and protect in Cancer. This tension can amplify generosity or inflate expectations — both reveal where growth demands a rebalancing of confidence and care.Reflection Question:Where might over-giving or over-controlling be blocking true mutual growth?Fri. Oct. 17: Sun (The Heroic Self) in Libra opposes Chiron (The Wounded Healer) in AriesRelationships mirror old wounds of independence and belonging. We explore how our desire for harmony often hides ancient fears of rejection or domination. Healing happens when we can hold both self-assertion and empathy as sacred.Reflection Question: What old relational wound is asking for compassionate witnessing rather than defense or withdrawal?Sun., Oct. 19: Mercury (The Storyteller) conjunct Mars (The Warrior) in ScorpioWords pierce to the truth. This potent conjunction intensifies communication — it's surgical, passionate, and potentially confrontational. When wielded consciously, this energy cuts through illusion and fuels courageous conversations that catalyze transformation.Reflection Question:What truth needs to be spoken or written from the depth of your courage, not the edge of your anger?Podcast poem: For Presence by John O'DoSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Robert Royal and Father Gerald Murray on the first apostolic exhortation by Pope Leo XIV, and other big stories of the week. DeVon Frankin from the movie, Soul on Fire, a true story based on the life & experience of burn victim John O'Leary.
“God works through ordinary people to remind us of what miracles look like in action.” John O'Leary was on the verge of death when he was nine years old. Like many kids, he copied something he saw some older boys do. But the result was catastrophic. John caused an explosion in his parents' garage, which left burns over 100 percent of his body. Doctors didn't expect him to survive. Yet John did. In this week's “mini-retreat in a podcast,” hear directly from John O'Leary as he shares stories of what happened, how God saved his body and—ultimately—his soul. Discover how ordinary people in John's path ignited his will to live and set his heart on fire for God. Learn how your heart can be set ablaze by the love of God, too.

After years of rehabilitation and healing, O'Leary has shared his story to motivate thousands of people around the world.

The SOUL ON FIRE MOVIE COMES OUT TODAY! GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! I highly recommend that you bring your family to go see this movie!!! This is the most inspirational movie I've ever seen, you'll love experiencing this movie at the theater with other people! In the movie, you will see a great example of unconditional love. John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), plays Denny in the movie and you can see him age and see the progession of Parkinson's disease. My family got to be on set during the filming of the wedding scene of John and Beth O'Leary. My wife took a picture of Denny O'Leary in his wheel chair that day because she saw how happy and joyful he was. John O'Leary says his dad is the most joy filled person he has ever met. And I agree with John, his dad definitely displays the Fruits of the Spirit. In this episode, I read Denny's excert P is for Parkinson's from The ABC's of Christianity - A Father's Inspiration Advice to his Adult Children. And I also share some of my own thoughts about Denny and reflect on his writing to his adult children that was not meant for the public. But when people found out about what he wrote, they asked for copies. Denny printed about 1,000 of these and I was blessed to receive one from Denny before he passed away. One thing that blows everyone away, Denny refers to his Parkinson's as a gift. Imagine that, a disease that will progress to the point of you not being able to cause you to become weak, lose to the ability to move and ultimately kill you, and being able to appreciate what receiving his Parkinson's disease made possible and how it changed his life. There is a quote from Denny in the movie that people love, "You can't choose the path you walk in life, but you can choose how you walk it."

Dr. O'Brien delves into the pervasive issue of rudeness and incivility, which has been exacerbated by the isolating impact of COVID-19, divisive politics, and the impersonal nature of social media. He shares a personal anecdote of overcoming a discouraging professional setback, highlighting how resilience and support networks can lead to unexpected opportunities.

This episode was recorded on the morning of September 10th. This episode opens with an emotional reflection and 4 things Christian Dads can do right now. And then we get into the show. When John O'Leary was just 9 years old, he suffered burns over 100% of his body in a house fire. Doctors gave him less than 1% chance to survive. And yet, by God's grace, the love of his parents and the courage of the community, John not only survived - he has gone on to live a life on fire with purpose! He's a best-selling author, a sought-after speaker, and now the subject of an upcoming major motion picture Soul On Fire, releasing nationwide October 10th. John's story isn't just about tragedy, it's about faith, family and choosing to live life fully alive. On this episode, we talk about John's tragedy at 9, self-worth, physical and mental struggle, Jesus examples of how to live and John's memories about his dad Denny O'Leary. We also share some stories about a few actors in the movie; William H Macy and Joel Courtney. What are John's memories of who his dad was and what was it like being selected to give his eulogy? When your kids write your eulogy, what will they write? Why did John's dad call his Parkinson's disease a gift from God? What lessons did John learn while in the hospital for months? What's it like when your dad get a life changing medical diagnosis? This is a movie that the world needs now. It's the story of the greatest human I've met and the stories of all the heros that helped him live and live life on fire! My immediate thoughts after watching the movie was that I am so grateful I got to see it at the theater with people I love. This is great movie to experience with others. We are hoping that this movie inspires 1,000,000 people opening weekend. My ASK is that you bring your family to the movie opening weekend and encourage others to see it as well. It is very important to have a big opening weekend. It helps the movie stay in theaters longer and therefore more people will see it. Share this episode with others, let people know that you are going to see the movie, use hashtag #soulonfiremovie, and help grow awareness of this movie. Challenge: Let's fill up theaters and vote for good. Go to a film about family, grace, heros and unconditional love! Talk after the movie about who the heros were and how to live differently. The movie comes out October 10th! Let's do our part to impact the world with this movie. Please let me know if you are going to the movie. PM me or email me at TheChristianDadPodcast@gmail.com . And if you'd like Ignite Character series that John mentions, I'll send you a free link.
