The Art of Leadership Network.

They've studied that up and down, and it's just not true.

Like nobody works best last second.

So if you're a pastor, the reality is, if you gave yourself the breathing room,

the time you look at it a third time, like two days later, it's going to be better.

Welcome to the Keri- Newhoff Leadership Podcast.

I'm so glad you joined us today because if you have ever struggled with procrastination,

which I have, particularly when I was younger, today's going to be a great episode.

John Acuff is in the house.

It's something that's haunted him his whole life. And yet,

he has become one of Inc's top 100 leadership speakers. He delivers keynotes regularly to companies

like Lexus, Microsoft, Walmart, Range Rover, Comedy Central. He's host of the popular podcast.

All It Takes is a goal. And one of the most driven, disciplined leaders I know. Why? Because he's not disciplined. Okay, so John and I are also really good friends. We talk every month, and we take you behind the scenes to catch up on some of the things that he's been changing in his leadership. So if you follow John or if he's new to you, I think you're really going to enjoy this. I want to welcome all of you who are new listeners. I'm really glad that you're here and that you're joining us. And to long-time listeners, thank you. You make this podcast what it is. I'm going to be on the road a lot this spring. So if you're in Silicon Valley, I'll be in California, in Dallas, and different cities. I'd love to see you. just come up after I give a talk and say, hey, I listen to the podcast. I've been here since episode

one, or I just... in different cities. I'd love to see you. Just come up after I give a talk and say, hey,

I listen to the podcast. I've been here since episode one or I just discovered it. That's one of

the highlights to me being on the road. So with all that said, let's get into my conversation

today with John Acuff. John is never boring to hang out. Welcome back. Yeah, thanks for having me again. It's fun to,

fun to see you again, whether it's virtually in Franklin. I don't make it up to your neck of the

woods that often because it's still winter. But yeah, for me, this is true whenever the episode

airs. That's what people think about Canada. It's still winter, right? It's July.

You can say that. I can say that

unless I hit your one warm weekend when you're on the boat, this episode is evergreen.
