SUCCESS MADE SIMPLE is a keynote seminar that combines the talents of Fitness Celebrity John Basedow and three-time world record holder Fran Capo. Through their unique stories of self-made success, this dynamic duo will educate, captivate, and motivate any audience into achieving their dreams while living life to the fullest.
Together, John and Fran are leading a national crusade against a widespread epidemic, which they call “settle-itis”. As John puts it, “Too often people ‘settle’ for less than what makes them happy. When they do this in one area of their lives it spreads like a cancer throughout every other aspect. Then these people wake-up years later wondering whatever happened to their dreams.” Fran adds, “We show people that as long as they focus on the vision of what they want in life and work hard every day to achieve it they can live their dreams…just like John and I are living ours.”
