In Live a Little Better, John Beyer shares his extraordinary journey from a troubled childhood and struggles with addiction to becoming a successful entrepreneur and devoted parent, offering an inspiring story of perseverance, transformation, and hope.
“When you pack up all your personal belongings and move to a new place, you’re not just changing locations. You’re changing yourself.”
– John Beyer
John Beyer is the founder and owner of Men on the Move, one of the East Coast’s premier moving and storage companies. But although John’s journey to the top of the moving game has brought him incredible success, the ride up was a bumpy one. From the secret stairwells of LeFrak City to the discos of 1970s Manhattan to the dive bars of Long Island and the truck cabs of a man on the move, Beyer’s highs and lows have been as extreme as the personality that got him in and out of trouble along the way.
Live a Little Better is the story of a talented kid in an alcoholic household, an alcoholic young adult turned entrepreneur, a recovering addict whose life was saved by AA, and the devoted parent of a child with special needs. Above all, it is a story of perseverance, discernment, and transformation.
If you have ever struggled with addiction, directly or indirectly, Live a Little Better speaks to you as a peer. Beyer will make you believe in success against the odds, in hope in the face of catastrophe, in rising above a broken home. You never know what crisis will teach you. No matter your circumstances or mistakes, John Beyer’s incredible life is proof that you too have every chance to live a little better.
