John Bredesen is a fiction writer living in Minnesota, US, with his tolerant wife and a rambunctious were-schnoodle.

He has also written several non-fiction books under “John A. Bredesen”.
Things I think About
- Most people are good. Start your planning there.
- Control your technology or it will control you.
- Focus & Finish. Multi-tasking is a mirage.
- Show Up. Work Hard. Learn Fast. Have Fun.
- Doing all of this is hard and I am far from perfect.
There are thousands of self-help books out there. However, one useful self-help concept is said on every airplane flight: “Put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others.”
Me
When I leave, I don’t know
The Analog Kid, Neil Peart
What I’m hoping to find
When I leave, I don’t know
What I’m leaving behind
If the future’s looking dark
Everyday Glory, Neil Peart
We’re the ones who have to shine
If there’s no one in control
We’re the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times
We’re the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings
We’re the ones who have to fly
