Bio
The short “Meetup” version
I’m John Charles Fleming from Tallahassee, Florida. My company, Outcome Labs, is a custom software development company that specializes in delivering cost-effective custom solutions with the leading open-source platforms, including WordPress, WooCommerce, and LearnDash.
Over my career, I have done most of the jobs in a technology company… development, marketing, sales, and services. I have had the opportunity to live in Europe and Asia and worked across a range of industries from high tech to real estate. I have helped close multi-million dollar transactions and moved millions of units through a channel. I have started companies, raised money, built teams, had successes and my share of failures.
At the core, I guess I am a ‘product guy’. I have had the most fun and success professionally helping build innovative new products and companies that have improved the lives of the people they touched. I have been lucky enough to work with and learn from some very smart people and to be part of fabulous teams that built great products that became market leaders in their space.

We May Never Pass This Way (Again) — This Friday’s Song
In memory of Dash Crofts, who passed away this week, I’m looking back at a 1973 classic that served as a “coming of age” anthem for so many of us. This song is a powerful reminder to seize the unique opportunities of every season of life. It’s a tribute to a legend and a celebration of my wife Teresa, who is my “journey’s end.”
Marry Your Best Friend
Finding this week’s song was incredibly timely as Teresa and I celebrate 15 years of marriage. Spencer Crandall’s “Marry Your Best Friend” perfectly captures the foundation of our relationship—the kind of love that knows your biggest dreams and darkest moments. As I reflect on our journey together, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have a partner who is not only the love of my life but, as my 9-year-old son put it, my “meant to be.”
The Quiet Work of Being There: Brothers Osborne and the Power of a Safe Harbor
This Friday’s song is a special one. Ever since seeing @brothersosborne open for the Zac Brown Band years ago, I’ve been struck by their grit and authenticity. Their track “Love The Lonely Out of You” is a masterclass in soulful support—a reminder of what it means to be a “safe harbor” for someone else. I’m reflecting on the people who have been that for me, especially my father’s wife, Gloria Mozzicato, and my wife, Teresa.
