ANNOUNCING CRAIG JOHNSTON PARTNERSHIP

---

Craig created SUPAskills after developing his own method of self training on his way to stardom in England. Craig codified his self practice in a measurable and quantifiable way as seen in his heartwarming and incredibly inspiring animated story ‘Kangaroo in The Car Park’. Craig's story is about overcoming adversity,  perseverance, sacrifice, obsession to achieve the impossible dream and  desire to belong to something big. It’s is an inspirational story of one  man’s life pursuit and a family’s love to sacrifice themselves for his  dreams and the loneliness of a young boy’s isolation, humiliation and  ridicule in a foreign land and how his resilient and tenacious character  full of grit overcame failure, turmoil, setback to achieve success and  finding a way to succeed and become a legend against all odds despite setbacks.
