The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode.

Hey everybody, welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do exceptional work for the glory of God and the good

of others. Each week I host a conversation

with a Christ follower who's pursuing world-class mastery of their craft.

We talk about their path to mastery. We talk about their daily habits and routines, and how their faith

influences their work.

Guys, this is one of those episodes. I know an episode's going to be great when I just stop taking notes.

And just forget to take notes and just get totally absorbed in the conversation.

Today's guest is my friend Brad Lamanick he's the

former president of catalyst yes that catalyst of catalyst conference fame he's also the author of a terrific book that came

out a few years ago called H3 leadership. Be humble, stay hungry, always hustle.

Brad and I finally got a chance to sat down. We talked about

the difference between culture's definition of hustle and how we as Christ

followers can think about the same concept of hustle. We talked about

how to be an exceptional service-driven networker or as Brad likes to call

Connector and we talked about how to crush the now while you're in a waiting period, a weird

in-between period between now and whatever's next for you and your career and the call that God has on your life. You guys are going to love this

terrific conversation with my friend, Brad Lamanick, I'm so excited you're here man. Thanks for being here.

Jordan, listen, long time listener, first-time caller, right?
