When John Lundin stepped into the Commons at Cleary University, he wasn’t just sharing a story—he was illuminating a path of persistent hope and unwavering determination.
Growing up without a clear roadmap to success, Lundin‘s journey from a young man uncertain of his potential to the CEO of a global chemical company is a powerful narrative of perseverance. His story isn’t about overcoming, but about transforming challenges into opportunities through resilience, strategic thinking, and an humble approach to personal growth.
“I never imagined myself as a college graduate,” Lundin shared with students, his voice reflecting the quiet strength of someone who understands that success is built through consistent effort and an open mind. His path was marked by strategic decisions, calculated risks, and an fundamental belief in continuous learning.
Cleary University became a critical turning point in his transformation. The institution didn’t just offer a degree; it provided a platform for potential. When faced with a choice between a substantial financial offer and educational support, Lundin chose education—a decision that would reshape his entire professional landscape.
Today, as CEO of Chem-Trend, Lundin leads a global chemical company with operations across multiple continents. But his true impact lies in his commitment to giving back—through mentorship, inspirational storytelling, and a genuine desire to uplift others.
His message resonates with a powerful simplicity: Education is about expanding horizons, embracing opportunities, and maintaining humility throughout your journey. It’s about understanding that success is not a destination, but a continuous process of learning and growth.
