John O'Leary

John O’Leary’s remarkable true story is the inspiration behind the upcoming feature film Soul on Fire, starring Joel Courtney, John Corbett, and William H. Macy. At just nine years old, O’Leary survived a fire that burned 100% of his body and was given less than a 1% chance to live—an event that would later define his life’s purpose.

Today, O’Leary is a bestselling author, internationally acclaimed speaker, and host of the Live Inspired Podcast, which has reached millions of listeners worldwide. His bestselling books On Fire and In Awe have empowered readers to find meaning, resilience, and joy in the face of adversity. Through his talks, books, and now film, O’Leary continues to ignite hope and inspire people everywhere to live courageously and with purpose.
