Summary
This Candid Conversation was recorded several weeks ago while John Maxwell and Mark Cole were in Israel spending time with some of The John Maxwell Leadership Foundation's top donors. John wanted to make this trip unforgettable for those who support his vision and mission so faithfully, and he took this opportunity to share on the podcast what it takes to be an unforgettable leader.
He also reflects on what he learned from his late friend Jack Welch about how to get yourself out of "the people pile" and set yourself apart from others. By asking how you can separate yourself from others in a positive way, you push yourself to be intentional, creative, curious, and confident.

| 0:35.3 | them in environments where I can get the Southern out of his accent and it just |
