#42 - John Lefebvre - Drug Deals, Climate Change & Creating a Better World

John Lefebvre is a Canadian born musician, composer, entrepreneur, lawyer, and advocate for the environment. John has lived an amazing life.

John has been everything from a drug dealer, a taxi cab driver, an attorney, a convicted felon, and now an advocate for the environment.

John created Netteller (now Known as Paysafe), the PayPal of online gambling. He took the company public and at its peak Netteller, was transferring over $14 billion with in a six month period to offshore gambling sites. The company went on to have a market cap of over $2 billion on the London stock exchange.

Then one day it all came crashing down. The FBI raided John's Malibu beach home.

John and I have a far ranging discussion.

We talk climate change, renewable energy, and the role that government should play in our lives.

We also talk about the power of focus and why focusing on the present moment is where your best life has found.

One of the best things of doing this podcast. . It gives me and hopefully the listeners an opportunity to respect communication where it's possible to have a conversation with someone you don't completely agree with their point of view, but you hear each other out, you exchange a point of view and you respect each other as people.

John is a really smart guy. He has a lot of interesting ideas. He really made me think.

I hope you enjoy,
