Summary

John Maxwell changed my life in 2001. I read his book "Failing Forward" and then read all his books ever since. He's the #1 go-to guy for leadership and personal growth. And he's sold over 30 million copies of his books worldwide. His newest book is "Leader Shift: The 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace." I asked him how he found his passion so early in life, what leaders need to do differently, how to find a mentor, make friends in your industry and more. I write about all my podcasts!
