Summary

Welcome back, friends!! Today on the show, I’m delighted to have author and speaker Jon Acuff for a conversation about a soon-to-release book he recently co-authored with his two teenage daughters. Yes, you heard that right! He wrote a book with his teenage daughters! How amazing is that?! You may remember when Jon was on the show last year around the release of his book Soundtracks. Well, so many parents reached out to him after reading it asking for a version for teenagers. He knew they were on to something, but he also knew he couldn’t write a book for teenagers without it reading like an adult trying to sound cool. So he enlisted the help of his daughters! Your New Playlist is a book for teenagers by teenagers, and I’m so thrilled Jon ran with this idea. The things we believed as teenagers can be so impactful. It is so encouraging to think about how the teens in our lives can learn to create new thoughts that lead to actions and even better results. Be sure to listen in to find out how! Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author, an INC Magazine Top 100 Leadership speaker, and host of the All It Takes Is A Goal podcast. He has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at conferences and companies around the world, including FedEx, Nissan, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Chick-fil-A, Nokia, and Comedy Central. He lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and two teenage daughters. Listen in to learn more about: How the truth grows like compound interest. The ways our thoughts can work for us or against us and how we get a say in how they work. The things Jon’s daughters taught him about thought patterns and what teenagers deal with today. Favorite quotes: ~If you are a parent it is good to listen to ‘absolutes’ from your kids because it is usually the sign of a broken soundtrack. ~There’s a real joy when you as a parent help your child do a difficult thing and they realize it’s possible. ~A good friend is an archive and they store memories and moments for you that in times of stress you forget. ~Nothing gets better accidentally. In this episode I answered this question: What is something easy I can do to help me in my career?

0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories, and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to this show today.
0:27.3	I hope you're having a great September. I think all over the country now, everyone's kids are back
0:32.1	in school. My kids have been back in school since the first week of August. It's crazy, right?
0:36.6	It's funny how in different parts of the country, we all go back at different times. And August and September are such a mess of
0:44.0	school physicals and paperwork and remembering how to do the school routine. So hopefully
0:49.9	you're through the chaos and everything is smooth. Kids are in school. Everything's wonderful. Hallelujah
0:57.3	for the new school year. Now, of course, fall for me means travel too. I'm in San Antonio this
1:03.4	weekend speaking at Women of Joy. So if you're in San Antonio, come say hi. And then after that,
1:09.0	my friend Jenna's coming with me. We have planned to go explore
1:12.0	the river walk, but I just remembered this morning that Six Flags is also in San Antonio, and we
1:19.8	could sneak over there and ride a few roller coasters. So I think that's the new plan. When in Rome,
1:24.0	right? Okay, back to the show today. I'm with the always amazing John Acuff. We're talking about mindset and challenging ourselves and just having a great time. You're going to absolutely love the show. John is a treat. And after we talk to John, we're going to have coaching time. This week's question is, what is something easy I can do that'll help me in my career? I love that
1:45.9	question because who doesn't want a quick tip? Who doesn't want something that's going to go,
1:50.0	oh, if I do this, things will start changing for me. And you know, I have one for you. Don't worry.
1:55.4	I had to think about it a little while. I got this one way back, but I do have the answer for you. And for the final segment of the show
2:01.8	today, I'm bringing you my favorite song that's on repeat right now. But before we get started,
