“Sitting down with Lionel Cartwright was a pleasure and a real treat. Lionel is a storyteller himself and knows how to bring out the best story inside the person he is having a conversation with,” states John Berry. “Deep and honest communication about our experiences in life is relatable to so many, and you never know who you may reach with your words while sharing your story!”
"Imagine getting the news that your song went number one — on the same morning you’re being prepped for brain surgery. Imagine making your living as a singer — and being told you have throat cancer. Add to these adversities the difficulties of sustaining a music career after your major label deal goes away,” shared Lionel Cartwright. “John Berry’s life navigation is a case study in perseverance and resilience, with immense takeaway for anyone facing life challenges."
