Where did you grow up? How long have you lived in the area? Tell us about your family
I was born and raised in Los Angeles and moved to Arizona in 2018. I'm a single Dad of two beautifully amazing girls. My oldest daughter, Siennah, is a freshman at NAU, and my youngest daughter, Sashah, is a sophomore at Red Mountain High School. We are social dancers and absolutely love dancing and performing around the country. I'm sincerely Blessed and Grateful to be their Dad.
Tell us about the events that led up to where you are now?
In college, I played football for the Washington State Cougars! Go Cougs! After several years of playing professional football, I began my mortgage consulting career and eventually owned and operated one of Southern California's top mortgage brokerages before the mortgage meltdown and Great Recession in 2008. In 2010, I began my career as a mortgage software developer. In 2020, COVID and quarantining allowed me to start taking action towards realizing a childhood dream of becoming an author and motivational speaker. Today, I have published ten books, I have become an international best-selling author, and I have performed a TEDx Talk.
What is your business, how/why did you start your business?
My primary business and focus is now on positively impacting lives around the world with the power of mind mapping. Mind mapping is a visual information management tool enabling people to clearly see and gain a greater perspective of anything and everything they are thinking about. It's a very powerful tool mainly used in Corporations and Ivy League Schools for project management, brainstorming, and note-taking.
What is unique about your business?
I intend to transform lives by showing people how to use mind mapping as a personal development, optimal living and peak performance tool. I call my style of mind mapping, Mappineering - Engineering Beautiful Mind Maps to Love Life More! To my knowledge, I am the only Mind Mapping Mentor in the world that is coaching, promoting, speaking, teaching and training mind mapping this way. In fact, I am hosting an online community called MappineerVille.com, or The Ville for short, to help people Mappineer to love and live their best lives.
Given your business expertise and the nature of what you do, what advice can you offer to your neighbors?
Of all the possible mind maps one can Mappineer, there are none more important than Mappineering and I AM Mind Map because it helps people clearly see what matters most to them as it relates to Health, Wealth, Success and Happiness. Going through this process helps people become a self-actualized, characterized by a deep sense of fulfillment, authenticity and purpose. To help me help people, I wrote an I AM book, I have designed I AM online courses, I offer I AM individual and group coaching sessions, I have established I AM presentations and I AM guided workshops for kids, adults, students, teachers, athletes, coaches, professionals, retirees, and essentially anyone looking to love life to the fullest! www.JohnDiggs.com/IAM for more information.
What part of the neighborhood do you live in and how long have you lived in Val Vista Lakes?
My girls and I have been living in the Regatta for five years and love it! Val Vista Lakes reminds me so much of my old neighborhood in Los Angeles. The amazingly beautiful landscaping, the nice neighbors and of course the beautiful lake remind us of home, and we love it!
