Hey, everyone, and welcome to the All It Takes a Goal Podcast.

If you're new around here, I'm a late bloomer who discovered the power of goals in his mid-30s.

Now I'm on a furious mission to create the accelerators I wish I had in my 20s.

I'm your host, John Acuff, and today I'm joined a furious mission to create the accelerators I wish I had in my 20s. I'm your host John Akoff and today I'm joined by Will Akoff.

Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.

Did you notice that we had something in common?

Same last name, feel suspicious.

We're brothers.

Will is my younger brother and you are going to love this conversation. You're going to love it. Let me give you his bio. Will Aykuff, a pastor's kid with a master's in biblical studies, co-founded corner to corner. This nonprofit, the things he says about what this nonprofit does for entrepreneurs in

the local neighborhood is amazing. It promotes economic equity by launching

underestimated entrepreneurs out of historically low-income communities in Nashville. And he wrote

a brand new book. The book is called No Elevator to Everest,

and we cover a ton of different things.

At one point, he talks about his very challenging life.

Will will tell you, and he talks about it in the podcast,

he's got a very challenging life,

but he's one of the most joy-filled people I've ever met.

He gets more goals done than me.

Like when people interact with him, they go, man, John, I thought you were doing a lot

of goals, but Will.

In fact, when I introduce people to Will, they often text me back like a week later and

they go, man, I really like you, John, but you're a brother.
