About John
NEU exists partly because he refused to stay a plot twist. He joined the journey in prison—hardly a coworking space—and started doing the heavy lifting on the trauma of his past like it owed him rent. Fuelled by more-than-a-little undiagnosed ADHD (detectable within a five-mile radius), he runs businesses like browser tabs: too many open, all somehow productive. Rapid-fire ideas, real-world follow-through, zero fluff. Now he’s back steering multiple ventures and showing his community how to turn setbacks into step-ups. If change had a hype man, it’d be him. The blueprint? Start messy, learn loudly, build anyway.
Now Everybody Unite? Absolutely.

My Work Progress
After years of running successful restaurants and raising a family while battling addiction, I hit rock bottom and found a way forward through Vee’s Wellbeing and Self Development course during my time in prison. That experience was the turning point — today I’m proud to say I’m clean, rebuilding my life, and giving back to my community. Alongside supporting others on their journeys, I continue to run and grow various businesses, proving that second (third, fourth or even fifth) chances are all people need.
