I hope our time together today helps you thrive in life and leadership. And happy New Year.

I'm so excited to be with you for the kickoff of a brand new year. For those of you who listen,

well, when these episodes come out, I hope it's been a great year so far. I know it's kind of the third year of crisis leadership. Well, we'll be there for you. We'll have some episodes that are very much dedicated to what's going on in the moment. And then some bigger ones like this one. I'm so excited to have Rick Warren here. I call this the Legacy interview. And we spent about 90 minutes unpacking things. Plus,

there's a lot more. And thanks to our partners, Pro Media Fire. This episode is brought to you by Pro Media

in the middle of 2021 when he announced he was

after 42 years going to step back after Saddleback, that he was not going to be the lead

pastor of Saddleback anymore. They were initiating a search. And so I flew down to California

and really spent the better part well all afternoon with him. Now, this is really cool. So we're going to

bring you the full interview. We did a 90-minute interview. As usual, it's available by video as well

over on my YouTube channel. Just go to YouTube. Search my name and Rick Warrens. You'll find us there.

And what was really cool, though, is he decided to give me a tour of his offices and his private library.

So he has gone about collecting the largest collection in the world of signed books, signed by the author.

It's actually recognized by Guinness. And we took a camera crew with us. And so that video will also be posted on my YouTube channel. So you won't hear

a lot of it on this podcast, well, none of it because it kind of needs a visual thing, but it's really

cool. He has got the original copy of Martin Luther's commentary on Romans signed by Luther.
