John Callas is a writer, director, and producer with an extensive list of projects including his six novels, the television show Bobby's World, and much more. His career began in the mid-seventies, and offered John a creative outlet after a very tumultuous childhood. From losing his father at a young age to surviving highly abusive school environments, He joins us today to share all that came next for him after publicly disclosing his difficult childhood, and releasing a memoir that was fifty years-in-the-making. The Broken Cycle Media team is deeply appreciative of John's time, energy, and creativity in curating healing.
