About Destroying Monsters

John Joseph

John Joseph didn't merely overcome adversity, he overcame a life of odds stacked higher than the Empire State Building: the loss of his family, serious addictions to crack cocaine, pills and alcohol, and a life of crime on the streets of New York City. Joseph's shocking, compelling and riveting story of how he beat those odds and how audiences can beat their own odds has made him one of the freshest and most original authors out today.

COACHING

Achieving Success with The John Joseph Discipline Method

The big question on everyone’s mind is: How do we achieve success?

The answer is simple but not easy: discipline.


Discipline is the linchpin of all success, the driving force that bridges the gap between your dreams and reality.

But how do you stay disciplined? How do you consistently show up, push forward, and smash your goals—even when life gets hard?


There is a method. Just like anything else in life, success has a formula. You apply it, and you get results. The more committed you are to the formula, the greater your success.

The John Joseph Discipline Method

This is the cornerstone of my coaching process—a ten-step formula designed to keep you accountable, prevent you from quitting, and help you achieve (or even surpass) your goals.

This method isn’t just theory; it’s a proven system that I’ve personally used and taught to countless clients. It’s a step-by-step process that works, as long as you follow it with focus and commitment.

Here’s what makes it so effective:

  • Accountability: You’re never alone in your journey. This method keeps you on track, no matter what obstacles arise.

  • Structure: Success thrives on structure. Each step of the method is designed to build momentum and keep you moving forward.

  • Results-Driven: If you commit to this process fully, I guarantee you will achieve your goals.

Kickstart your journey to success with 50% off all coaching plans during the first week of 2025! This limited-time offer is your chance to transform your goals into reality at half the cost. Don’t wait—secure your spot and start the new year stronger, focused, and unstoppable!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Highest return on investment of money and time of any coaching I’ve completed.  This is not about aligning your chakras or rotating your inner outer thighs.  John clearly breaks down goal setting  and works step by step to put an achievable plan into action  It’s comprehensive too, because John is expert in physical and mental health, routines and patterns and the science behind motivation. I’ve been gifting friends and colleagues with a first session because it is so transformative. And, JJ is about the funniest and most entertaining human ever when he is not rattling the cage to make the most out of each day." 

Adam Gordon, Real Estate Visionary & Managing Partner Wildflower Studios NYC 

"John's approach to coaching is direct and transformative. It's refreshing to work with a coach who tells it like it is. He was able to swiftly cut through the fog and get the root of resistance holding me back. In just the couple of months we worked together, I have a professional and personal plan that I have put into action to achieve a project launch at work, and attain my fitness targets. By setting small goals, and staying disciplined, what seems like a mountain to overcome has become attainable. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

 

Janet K. MD

I wanted to stop talking about it and instead be about it. One of the best choices I’ve made in life, the discipline course has provided me the tools to navigate what I thought was near impossible to achieve. My personal and creative dreams now have a game plan that is manageable and realistic. I feel I have the necessary tools to take action. Don’t continue to sleep through your dreams. Get the coaching to help you realize you have the power to make changes and remove the fear through action, all while enjoying the process.

Richard Manriquez

I would highly recommend doing the Kickstart Class with John Joseph he is very helpful, knowledgeable and he will to take your life to next level!!!! 

 

Thanks John for all the information and advice. It was a helpful class and I downloaded the BVL app link that you sent me. Can’t wait to start digging into it

John's Crash Course succinctly outlines what you need to do to bring discipline and positive change in your life. Extremely informative and eye opening are understatements.  As you go through and complete the course, the journey's roadmap is clear and simple.  But he makes it even clearer that the most important part is setting the structure in place and executing your plan to build disciplined consistency.  Which brings me to the best part of the course…who the message is coming from.  John delivers a ton of real life along with the material.  This is not a PowerPoint, it's not an app, it is straight talk from a guy who's been through it and turned pro.  Participants are getting the material and the message from a guy who is about it and genuinely cares about helping people.  Whether you've read his books or not, you will know this within minutes of starting a course or coaching session.  I've done both and let me tell you, you will know exactly what you need to do after interacting with John.  He will not mince words in telling you what your roadblocks are and will tell you straight when you're not showing up for yourself.  Granted, I am early on in this new journey.  But one thing is clear…the only self-investment better than John's course and coaching is that which it takes to execute your plan built around what you learned.

 

Eric McGrew

"The Crash Course in Discipline is worth every penny. John provides the tools to set you up for success and encourages you to implement what you've learned every step of the way. I've regained confidence I thought I lost and am making great strides to maintain the discipline I was lacking for so long. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a strong foundation to keep getting after it."

The evolution of a cro-magnon

Evolution of a Cro-Magnon, John Joseph

“An incredible story written into a great read. I’ve known John for years and was always riveted by his life story and the incredible and enthusiastic drive to survive against all odds. That drive got him to where he is today.“

- Patty Jenkins - Writer/Director “Monster” - “Wonder Woman”

“This book kicked my ass! I have known John Joseph for many years - we know each other from around the New York City punk scene - he was always cool with me but until I read this book, his autobiography I had no idea about how we grew up. As I read the first few chapters tears welled up in my eyes - a lot of people talk about coming from the streets when John says it shit is real - I have tremendous respect for him and all he has endured and who he has become“. 

 

- Adam Yauch (RIP) - Beastie Boys 

the pma effect

The PMA Effect John Joseph

“John Joseph’s  “The PMA Effect “ Has been instrumental in helping me create a more positive way of thinking about and living life. The book has taught me how changing the way in which I see things, can absolutely change what I start actually seeing with positive thoughts and visualization. I highly recommend this read to anyone and everyone who is in a rut or simply wants to maintain P.M.A.” 

 

Frank Grillo - Actor - Martial Artist 

“The survivor of a horrific upbringing nobody would fault John Joseph for playing the victim card. What he endured would have buried most men, but John didn’t just survive he emerged victorious. Today he celebrates his life by giving back selflessly, devoting the best part of himself for the benefit of others less fortunate. His example is as instructive as it is inspirational“
