The In-Between

Johnny Carter

Johnny Carter has spent about three decades in and around entrepreneurship, working across Australia and Asia, starting things, ending things, and starting again. His work sits at the intersection of business, human transition, and the practical psychology of change — grounded in long-term meditation practice and years of communication, mediation, and NLP training. He writes The In-Between, a weekly column for Phuket Community on change, uncertainty, and new beginnings. The column speaks to the residents who arrived on this island somewhere between careers, countries, relationships, or the versions of themselves they used to be. Johnny is Phuket Community's first regular contributor. His pieces are drawn from lived experience rather than theory, and are written to help readers see their own situation a little differently rather than to offer polished answers.
