Hey everyone, and welcome to the All It Takes The Gold Podcast, the best place in the

entire world, including all of Canada, to learn how to build new thoughts, new actions,

and new results.

I'm your host John Akef, and today I'm joined by Carrie Newhock, who's that?

Very glad you asked.

Carrie Newhock is a best-selling leadership author, speaker, podcaster, and former attorney.

He hosts one of today's most influential leadership podcasts.

His podcasts, blog, and online content are viewed more than 1.5 million times every

month.

He speaks to leaders around the world about leadership, change, and personal growth.

Carrie and his wife, Tony, live north of Toronto, and he's my friend.

We've spent the last eight years or so touring together and speaking at events.

I've had so many conversations in green rooms of him about life, about leadership, about

writing books, about doing podcasts, and it's so fun to interview one of my mentors.

I call Carrie once a month to bounce ideas off him, so he's somebody that I really look

up to, he's somebody I really respect, and he's got a brand new book coming out.

It's called, at your best, how to get time, energy, and priorities working in your favor,

and he sets something in today's conversation that knocked a lot of my excuses when it comes

to goals right over.

I was trying to stump him a bit about how I spend my time, and well, what if I can't control

this portion of my time, and he just flat out crane kicked me, which is a little bit of

a karate kid reference for you, but yeah, he got me.
