Summary
Mondays in November, I'm releasing a special, Ask John episode. During this season of gratitude, I thought it would be a fun way to say thank you, answer your questions + shine a light on YOU, our wonderful Live Inspired Community members.
Today's question was submitted by Mary from Missouri. She finds the podcast to be counter cultural and that it is good news in a negative news culture. Her favorite episode was with Sue McCollum, a strong woman sharing strong ideas of overcoming and doing great things.
Mary's main takeaway from the show is that her experience and circumstances do not define her.
Mary asked: How do you stay energized, committed + motivated with all of the different areas of your life pulling you in different directions?
Tune in for my answer!
