Hi, I’m John Cannon…

I did a lot of different things before I was a monk.

I helped companies raise lots of money as an investment banker, got important bills passed when I worked in politics, and got fancy degrees from Harvard and Oxford.

I relentlessly chased success and pleasure but it was destroying me and the people around me.

Then, I had an intense spiritual experience that changed everything.

Soon, I left it all to join a monastery, where I lived for over 7 years with only limited contact with the outside world.

I eventually discerned out of the monastery and started SENT Ventures, where I’ve been fortunate to help hundreds of busy founders and CEOs build routine, peace, and meaning into their careers and personal lives.

Through Monk Mindset, I’ve distilled the lessons from being a monk and an executive coach to now help busy professionals, parents, and students transform hectic life into harmony.
