John Magnuson is the founder of Relevant Recovery, a pioneering Recovery Community Organization (RCO) dedicated to training and mentoring Family Life Recovery Coaches. With over 26 years in recovery, he has held leadership roles at the Johnson Institute, the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence (NCADD), and served as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His expertise in coalition-building and health coaching has shaped his innovative approach to addiction recovery.

Throughout his career, John has advised Fortune 100 executives, national trade associations, and global nonprofits, while also working closely with policymakers, including U.S. Representative Jim Ramstad. His experience in both public policy and direct recovery services led him to establish Minnesota’s first Recovery Ranch—a space designed to help individuals, families, and organizations actively engage in the recovery process. Now fully dedicated to training and mentoring recovery coaches, John continues to advance holistic, family-centered solutions in the field of addiction and mental health recovery.
