| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. I'm here today with John Maxwell. |
| 0:11.7 | We're having a candid conversation and I am so excited to invite you into this conversation. |
| 0:17.6 | Excited about what we're going to be talking about today. John, thanks for joining us today. |
| 0:21.5 | Hey, great to be with you. I'm very, very ready to share with our podcast listeners. You |
| 0:27.1 | know, Mark, I look forward to this time together. It's really, we talk about candid conversations, |
| 0:33.2 | just kind of where we are right now. I think there's great value in a leader sharing his or her |
| 0:38.9 | journey with people because there have been many people who have just shared what they would |
| 0:44.2 | consider to be a thought for that day that really became a thought for me, maybe for the rest of my life. |
| 0:52.4 | When we have candid conversations, it's kind of like it's happening to us now. It's real, |

| 1:51.6 | have Mark as a leader is pouring your life into other leaders and producing other leaders because |
| 1:57.5 | leaders always give you a higher return. And so many times we don't do that. And so I'm excited |
| 2:05.0 | about the book. What's kind of crazy is is when you're asking me what I'm writing, it's like |
| 2:10.1 | that book is archaic now. It's just going out, you know, because I'm always on to something else. |
| 2:16.0 | Well, that's like right every day. That's what I want to talk to you about today is what are |
