Synopsis
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 BeyerJohn 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.
