ABOUT JOHN
John J. Teng is the founder of LIVXTRA, a digital publication that inspires men and women to live their lives to the very max! Topics include fitness, lifestyle, relationships, but most importantly, the real life stories of everyday men and women who are struggling, overcoming, and then sharing their inspiring life lessons with our readers.
Before starting LIVXTRA, John earned a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering, spent several years working as an engineer, and then made an unorthodox career change to become the North American Sales Manager for a global nutrition and wellness company for nine years. John competes in the Men’s Physique category of body building, he is the 2015 winner of Dancing with the South Bay Stars IV, and he has performed at Carnegie Hall as a Vocal Soloist. John is trilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese, which affords him with the rare ability to communicate and build relationships of trust with men and women from around the world.
But John’s greatest achievement and happiness is his wife and four children.

The LIVXTRA podcast was forged from tragedy as the host, John J. Teng helplessly watched the three most important people of his youth miss out on the most meaningful experiences of life, sometimes by their own choices. And John's reaction to his family’s tragedies was to choose to live by the following "EXTRA" mantra: Extra experiences today knowing that tomorrow is never a guarantee. Extra reminders to my loved ones that I love and care about them. Extra effort devoted to accomplishing the most important tasks to me. Extra opportunities discovered by accepting to do things that are uncomfortable. Extra victories celebrated by accepting failure as a form of progress and not defeat.And that mantra is why John named this podcast LIVXTRA (www.LIVXTRA.net). And now John is here to help you along own journey, to help you live life…Extra!
