John Lanza

Welcome!

I write, create, run a business, podcast and speak.

I run, read, play boardgames, love trains and computers.

I own less stuff.

I love learning, and I seek discussions to help open my mind and clarify my thinking.

Born in New Jersey, I moved to Southern California right after college.

I've developed new talks about the Power of Habits and The Money Simplicity Shift. They're both designed to help us live more fulfilling lives. Find out more here.

At Snigglezoo, I continue to engage kids to "Share, Save & Spend Smart," while empowering their parents to raise their kids money-smart.

I recently reconnected with one of my first loves, programming. This site is one result of that.

(All of my interviews, podcast appearances etc. can be found here.)

I'm available for 15-minute chats about any of these topics. Book a time here.

Do you have a Now page?

In case you care to know a little bit more about me.

I began a morning reading habit in 2015 after reading Hal Elrod's Miracle Morning. Reading just thirty minutes per day has helped me read, write and think better. You can read my short book summaries here.
