John Collicker watched his father battle a brain tumor for years. He watched his dad, who had always been a good man, become even better. And in the book, the father and son wrote together, everyone needs a brain tumor. It is clear that David Collicker knew he was being changed. In the book, he wrote, Nephi said, why should I yield to sin because of my flesh?

Every time I say an unkind word or react in anger, my thoughts turn to my tumor. It becomes larger

figuratively. I lose hope and become frustrated with my condition, end quote. But David Collicker kept fighting, fighting cancer, and fighting to be the best he could be.

It left his son wanting to do the same.

John Collicker is the CEO and co-founder of Leland, a marketplace helping users reach their most ambitious goals by connecting them

with career and admissions experts. In 2023, he was a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient. Prior to

Leland, John worked in strategy and product at Uber, LinkedIn, and curated. He attended Stanford

GSP for his MBA and BYU for his undergraduate degree.

He and his wife Carly are the parents of four boys.

This is All In, an LDS Living podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean to be

all in the gospel of Jesus Christ?

I'm Morgan Pearson and I am honored to have John Collicker with me today.

John, welcome.

Thank you.

Very excited to be here.

Well, I'm going to start out and say this.

My husband knew John in college.

And before John ever started, Leland, Beech told me one day,

if any of my friends are going to be super successful in life, it will be John Collicker.

So he called it.

Thanks, Ben.

Before Forbes put you on the 30 under 30, Beech was calling it.
