This week on the Glow Up, Gyrl podcast, we're joined by former football player and Mappineering Mentor, John Diggs, for a powerful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the power of mindset. After finding himself homeless and fractured following the 2008 mortgage crisis, John turned his pain into purpose by pioneering a unique form of mind mapping called Mappineering. Through this practice, he rebuilt his life, created life systems that work, and began empowering others to do the same. Now the founder of the “I AM” method, author, and mentor, John shares his incredible journey, how mind mapping can transform the way we approach life and goals, and why structure and vision are critical for personal growth.
Most people undercharge not because they're greedy, but because they underestimate their true value.I had such an eye-opening conversation with John Ray—business advisor, pricing strategist, and author of The Generosity Mindset. We talked about why pricing is way more emotional than most people admit, and how confidence, perceived value, and intentional generosity all shape the way your business grows. John breaks down the common pricing traps entrepreneurs fall into (like hourly billing or selling from your own wallet), and how asking better questions can shift everything about how you show up and get paid.Whether you're a coach, consultant, or creative service provider, this episode will make you think differently about how you price your work and position your value. John's generous insights (true to his brand!) help you feel more confident charging what you're worth—and building relationships that actually last.Highlights:Why your clients usually see more value in you than you see in yourself.How generosity, when done with intention, leads to better pricing and deeper trust.A new way to think about pricing based on transformation, not time.What it really means to have a “value conversation” with clients.Simple mindset shifts that make selling feel less awkward and more authentic.Connect with John:Website: https://www.johnray.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnray1/ Podcast: https://www.johnray.co/podcast-price-and-value-journey In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

What John Morley originally thought was a urinary tract infection turned out to be a diagnosis of bladder cancer. At first, he was told it was a mild form of the disease. Then the diagnosis was upgraded to T2 Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, requiring a radical cystectomy meaning he would need to get his bladder removed. His care team next told John he would also have to get his prostate taken out. Next a mass was detected on his spleen, which meant that it, too, would have to be removed. Treatment and recovery were tough, but he now urinates into a bag known as an ileal conduit, has become acclimated to it and leads a healthy lifestyle. John Morley of Haymarket, Virginia is a Navy veteran who enjoyed scuba diving, hiking and other outdoor activities when in late 2021, he noticed blood in his urine. He sought medical attention with his primary care physician, who upon learning of John's symptoms, referred him to a urologist. The urologist called for cystoscopy, a procedure in which a camera is inserted in the patient's urethra, and based on its results, said a biopsy would be needed. John received a blend of bad and good news. He was told he had bladder cancer, but because it was T1 Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, the cancer had not spread from his bladder. John and his wife felt like celebrating and went out to dinner. However, a short time later, John Morley was called back into the doctor's office. He and his wife were told a followup check of his pathology report showed his cancer had been upgraded to T2 Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. Not only did this mean John would have to undergo a radical cystectomy to remove his bladder, but the procedure would have to be preceded by two or three months of chemotherapy, a regimen that would include cisplatin and gemacitabine. As he wondered what life would be like without a bladder, the news for John got worse. He was told he would have to undergo a prostatectomy for the removal of his prostate. Then a mass was detected in his spleen, and the spleen would have come out as well, all three in the same surgery. The multi-faceted surgery was a success, but John had to decide how he was going to urinate. Over two other options, he chose an ileal conduit. It was attached to his stomach, close to his navel. The urine drained into a urostomy bag. Following the operation, John relied on walking to help him slowly regain his strength. He has a good command of his use of the urostomy bag, and though it wasn't what he enjoyed pre-diagnosis, John Morley has returned to a healthy lifestyle that includes scuba diving.
