Summary
Podcast family, this is our 100th episode! We've only made it this far because of you. So, for this special occasion, Mark Cole and John Maxwell meet up in Highlands, North Carolina, to reflect on the impact The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast has had around the world, what they've learned from being with you each week, and how they've grown through this journey.
Since its launch in July of 2018, The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast has been downloaded 7.2 million times and has become one of the top leadership podcasts in the world. But John teaches that milestones are not markers to rest on––they are launching pads for more impact and more transformation. Even though there's a lot to celebrate, we're more excited about impacting even more leaders like you in the future and continuing to bring you more of John Maxwell's timeless leadership lessons.
For this special episode, instead of offering you a Bonus Resource like we usually do, Mark and John have a couple of special gifts for our podcast listeners that you won't want to miss! Be sure to listen to this 100th episode and take advantage of these limited-time gifts!
This episode is dedicated to our late friend, Richard Chancy, who was the steam that got this train going. Richard, we are all better because of you.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. Get the streamers out, get the party hats. |
| 0:12.3 | Because John Maxwell is here live with me. This is not a candid conversation. This is a Wednesday session, but here's the deal. |
| 0:21.0 | This is the 100th episode of the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. |
| 0:26.3 | And so John agreed to be with me. We're actually, we came out of home quarantine. |
| 0:32.6 | We're in Highlands together. And John, congratulations. 100 episodes with this podcast. |
| 0:38.6 | Well, thanks, Mark. You know what's kind of amusing me when you talk about this is I'm always getting congratulations now |
| 0:46.4 | for I've spoken 12,000 times or now it's a hundred podcasts and you know and you know I've written 80 some books or whatever it is. |
| 0:54.9 | And all of a sudden I'm hitting this realization awareness that I'm getting all these congratulations because I'm old. |
| 1:01.2 | And because all the stuff we can get congratulated on is because we've been doing a long time and the only people can do something a long time or somebody's been around a long time. |
| 1:10.4 | So it's kind of starting to crack me up and I don't know if these are congratulations or thank God you're still alive and we can't believe you're still doing this. |
| 1:19.3 | But it's just starting to really crack me up because I'm thinking, oh my goodness. Here we go. I passed another milestone. |
| 1:25.8 | But you know there, but this has been a hundred podcasts. My first thought when you told me that was it can't be a hundred. |
| 1:34.0 | So I get totally amazed at how fast time goes and what you can accomplish really if you're consistent in a relatively short time. |
| 1:47.1 | But when you said 100 if you mean if you had asked me I thought oh we may be have done six years empty. |
| 1:51.8 | I'm kind of way behind on where I think we really are on some of this stuff and so I first of all kind of get amazed. |
| 2:00.3 | And then secondly I was chuckled and say well it's because you're old but anyway it's been a hundred up. That's good. |
| 2:06.6 | It is. I'm going to come back to the old comment in just a moment. |
| 2:09.8 | But so 7.2 million people have been impacted. And again let me go back memory lane July of 2018 first podcast. |
| 2:21.6 | And here we are end of May 2020 and now through this vehicle through this media you have impacted 7.2 million people. |
| 2:33.0 | Isn't that astounding? |
| 2:34.6 | Well it's not astounding. It's a real honor and privilege. I mean when I think of that honestly where I go when you say things like that to me Mark. |
| 2:43.1 | It's not so much of the milestone of a hundred. It's so much going back to why we do what we do and who we are. |
