Summary
In this conversation between John Maxwell and Mark Cole you will have the opportunity to hear John express his overflowing appreciation for his wonderful Dad, as well as talk about what it means for him to be a father figure in this season of his life and career.
“Father” was John’s word for the year in 2018, and again in 2019. He lives this out by being intentional to bless and empower leaders, love them unconditionally, revel in their successes and provide fatherly counsel to those whom he mentors. Mark shares about the impact this has had on him and many others who have benefited from John’s fatherhood in their life. John and Mark encourage all of us to enjoy and spend time with our families this Father’s Day and to seek out a father figure if we do not have one.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. Today you're in for a treat because |
| 0:12.0 | I am sitting with John Maxwell himself unplugged. You're going to hear behind the scenes and |
| 0:18.9 | I'm excited because as many of you know, many, many of you are in America and the United |
| 0:24.8 | States and you listen in and this coming Sunday, this is releases on a Friday the unplugged |
| 0:30.4 | and this coming Sunday is Father's Day. This is the day that we celebrate our fathers. |
| 0:38.0 | Again in the United States, if that's not you, you don't do that in your country on this |
| 0:43.5 | particular day. That's okay. Hope you get to do that sometime. But for us, we do that |
| 0:50.3 | and it's Sunday June the 16th and I'm sitting here with a guy that has a lot to say about |
| 0:56.7 | Father. Now John, I'm going to get into a couple of things that I just really respect |
| 1:01.0 | about you right now at your stage and your life about your father, you being a father, |
| 1:06.8 | your word for the year. We've got a lot to talk about. But before we do, you have four years. |
| 1:15.5 | We've had a word for the year and I'm going to let you work into your word for this year. |
| 1:23.4 | Talk about your word for last year. Talk about why they may be similar. But would you |
| 1:29.0 | do me a favor and just kind of for all of our listeners, will you talk about kind of the |
| 1:34.4 | value of a word for the year, how you stumbled on that, how much you have stayed disciplined |
| 1:39.3 | with that and how some of us can learn if we get a word for the year. |
| 1:43.3 | One of my highlights as you know is at the end of the year or the last week of December, |
| 1:47.2 | I set that time aside to just reflect on my past year. I do that very simply by getting my |
| 1:54.0 | calendar out and going over every hour of every day that I lived the last 365 days. I do that |
| 2:02.4 | because reflection turns experience into insight. As I reflect on my year, there are things that |
| 2:09.0 | begin to pop up, things that I should have done a little bit better or a little bit more than I |
| 2:13.9 | did do relationships I should have maybe worked on a little bit more or developed or ones that maybe |
