John Sudds’ Bio: With a combined military and civil service career spanning approximately 20 years, serving in different assignments and being exposed to countless individuals with different views, it inspired me to share my experiences and learnings. As I’ve come to meet people from all walks of life, from those with unchallenging thoughts to those with serpentine ones, I was able to educate myself more while gaining a broader perspective on life itself. I have come to realize that no matter how intricate things can be, it will always be the truth that puts us on a straight and narrow path. Indeed, the truth sets us free.

Introspection is the key factor why I’ve come to a point that I have so much to share. I want to educate people based on my own views and broad experience. But at the same time, I will gratefully appreciate views that differ from my own. I know that having an open mind to hearing other people’s insights, allows me to learn and develop into a more well-rounded person.

I intend to share my honest thoughts on matters that affect our daily lives. They may be about heated political topics, relevant personalities, or even plain but significant events.

You can expect I will maintain a certain level of professionalism, but I will not be shortchanged on expressing my ideas or views in order to not offend other people – it’s the one thing I don’t easily compromise on, to freely voice or write my opinions. While my aim is to be honest and informative, I’d like to be inspirational at the same time. We can all agree to disagree without acting on our worst inclinations.

At leafBuilder.net, you can expect to read views that are expressed not to simply appease people, but rather to inform them. While it is my sincere desire to inspire, I perfectly understand that it may not always turn out that way. In any case, embracing realizations out of disagreements can very well be the real anchors of a fulfilling and inspired life.
