John Monczewski: A Stroke, A Wake‑Up Call, And a Whole Lot of Gratitude

John Monczewski, CFO, VP of Finance and Operations for BJU, Inc. and BJU Education Group, shared on LinkedIn:

”A Stroke. A Wake‑Up Call. And a Whole Lot of Gratitude.

On January 12, I had a stroke.

No warning. No buildup.

Just a sudden pause that reminded me how fragile—and valuable—life really is.

Thanks to exceptional medical care, I’m here, recovering and reflecting.

What this experience reinforced for me:

  • Tomorrow is not guaranteed
  • Priorities matter more than productivity
  • People matter more than plans

What I’m deeply grateful for:

  • Family and friends whose encouragement carried me through
  • Incredible medical professionals who quite literally saved my life
  • An outstanding team at work who stepped up seamlessly and covered for me without missing a beat—I couldn’t be more thankful or proud
  • A renewed sense of perspective I won’t take for granted

Still recovering. Still learning. Still grateful.

If you’re reading this—don’t postpone what matters most.”
