Email from a publicist titled "Why being held at gunpoint was the best thing that ever happened to me" Email body: Hi Alander​, John R. Miles unexpectedly came home early from the gym one morning to not only find an active burglary but one that resulted in having a gun pointed directly at him. That brush with death was his wake-up call and led him to reevaluate everything and question the true meaning of his existence. It was the catalyst that led him to create his 'Passion Struck’ brand and today he uses that to inspire others that they matter.
