What if the moment you feared most became the doorway to a life you actually want? John Stewart Hill takes us from a performance-driven faith and a string of personal losses to a 2 a.m. heart attack that forced a choice: go or stay. He chose to stay—and built a movement that protects homeowners and elevates honest tradespeople through The Good Contractors List, where every job is backed by a $25,000 guarantee.

We dig into the origin story that started with a yellow legal pad and zero safety net, and the counterintuitive bet that standing between homeowners and contractors could reduce fear, prevent disputes, and restore trust. John explains how rigorous vetting, FBI-grade verification tools, and proactive follow-up transformed a risky idea into a reliable, scalable system that has backed billions in work. He also shares what most people miss about contractor horror stories, why third-party mediation changes outcomes, and how integrity over optics wins in the long run.

The conversation goes deeper than business. John talks about grace over performance, the voice that told him purpose was waiting if he stayed, and the 2022 heart transplant that connected him to a donor family he now honors with every day he’s given. We unpack how faith guides his decisions, why he still refuses to leave God out of the story, and the surprising way he’s helping people find local house churches through a free online directory. Along the way, you’ll hear a turbo-boost first car tale, a tense border detainment on the way to Niagara Falls, and the simple life advice he uses to stay grounded: live in the present, trust deeply, and serve others.

If you want a practical blueprint for building trust, leading with purpose, and making hard promises you’re proud to keep, this ride is for you.
