My Name is Jhon: An Atypical Story of Success

by John Brennan

As a child, John Brennan wasn't an obvious candidate for success. School was a difficult, upsetting place and he was always at the bottom of the class. His battle with dyslexia meant that he felt stigmatised by a society that didn't understand him. Yet his determination to not be defined by his dyslexia created an ambition that has been matched by his business acumen.

Now in his mid-fifties, John's optimism is still flowing. It is a measure of his character that, on being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the first thing he did was to buy a very run-down Dromquinna Manor on 46 acres of overgrown grounds. Ten years later, in the midst of a world pandemic that saw hotels closed all over the world, John again bought a new hotel.

This is a fascinating account of a man with the vision to create his own life against the odds that will inspire people everywhere to find their own way too.

A very relaxing funny and overall enjoyable read

A wonderful enjoyable read from start to finish. John tells the story like he was in the room with you and can be very witty but his positivity shines through.

Enjoyable read for anyone who watches at your service or works in the hotel business. Nice easy read, not a heavy read. Lots of interesting anecdotes throughout.
