Their content is always relevant and delivered in a way that motivates me to keep growing and leading better. I’ve probably binge listened to an average of 3 episodes a week since “discovering” this great podcast a year ago. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of hearing John speak live in the early 1990s in Texas after releasing his 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership book; I was at the AdvoCare Success School. I have been a fan ever since and have a number of his books. Love this podcast and each episode has been timely for me as a solo entrepreneur since 2012. Such wisdom and direction.

I’ve listed to John Maxwell for years. He’s been like a mentor to me even though we’ve never met. His wisdom and leadership skills are valuable beyond measure. This podcast is just one of many ways he’s impacted my life for the better.

Mark, it’s been a privilege to be mentored by you and your team on a daily basis through the podcast! As an autistic JMT member, I’ve received the vision to speak, train, and coach. My success on this journey has come from men and women like you who continually encourage me to grow and to lean into discomfort.
The Scarcity Mindset is far too common in the autistic community and a staggering 85% of individuals on the spectrum with a college degree are unemployed as of 2023. John‘s teaching and your actionable discussions have inspired me to always see abundance and to continually chase significance. I’ve suffered in ways that uniquely qualify me to inspire and bring hope to others.
Again, thank you for believing me through your words on the podcast, your encouragement at IMC, and your advice on the certification calls, Mark!
