Turning Loss Into Legacy with Paul Johnson | Ep 35

Paul Johnson, entrepreneur, nonprofit founder, and board member at Service Dogs Saving Lives, joins Grant Banko and Adam Moreau for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation on resilience, purpose, and finding meaning after unimaginable loss.

In 2015, Paul tragically lost his eldest son. That loss became a turning point. In 2022, he and his wife Linda co-founded Service Dogs Saving Lives (SDSL) — a nonprofit dedicated to pairing rescue dogs with veterans suffering from PTSD. Paul shares how this mission has helped create healing not just for veterans, but for families like his own.

In this episode, Paul opens up about grief, faith, and why service — in all its forms — remains the most powerful path to purpose. Whether you’re navigating your own challenges or looking to make a meaningful impact, this conversation is a reminder that we can all turn pain into purpose, and purpose into legacy.
