Summary

"What more can I do?"

This epic question is the one I learned from the example of Hall of Fame Announcer Jack Buck. When our paths crossed, we were strangers. I had just been burned on 100% of my body and the doctors had given me less than 1% chance to survive. 

On today's episode, I  share what has become my most requested story to share when I'm speaking at events. It's the story of an unlikely friendship. Hall of Fame Announcer and The "Voice of the Cardinals" Jack Buck absolutely changed my life and hearing it just might change yours.

Can't wait to share the story with you again, or for some of you: For the very first time. Enjoy!

SHOW NOTES:

  • Think back to a time when you were experiencing a hardship: What might have changed if your hero walked in to help you? Is there someone you know going through a hardship you could step in and be a hero for today?
  • Crying is a sign of great strength. 
  • When someone is truly smiling, you can see it in their eyes.
  • Leadership is about meeting people where they are; meeting them in their "why." 
  • Motivation is an inside job.
  • Jack believed in me first; I followed. Who do you believe in today? How are you letting him/her know?
  • Love changes us. When we show up as love for others, we change them.
  • Ask yourself: "What more can I do?" And then pause to actually answer it.
  • What is one thing you can do today to change the world from negativity, exclusion, fear and anxiety to one of inclusivity, hope, faithfulness and love?

John is the number one national bestselling author of the book On Fire.

0:11.3

He's a world-class inspirational speaker and he's the host of the Live-inspired podcast.

John interviews extraordinary individuals on their life story so that you can wake up from accidental living

0:23.0

and more fully live your life story. Here's your host, John O'Leary. Well, hello, my friends. I am

0:30.9

John O'Leary and I am so happy to have you joining me in the Live-inspired movement. On every live-inspired podcast episode, I have

0:40.1

amazing guests joined me to share their story, their successes, their failures, their lessons,

0:46.9

their life. Yes, you're going to hear profound and unforgettable inspiring stories,

0:51.8

but more importantly, you will take away real, practical

0:55.4

ideas to apply in your own life. My friends, the goal is to have guests on this show that

will inspire you to choose, and it is a choice to wake up from accidental living so that you

can live inspired.

I recently ran into a friend who is not only a follower, but a rabid follower of our podcast.

1:20.1

She's also someone who's read the book on fire and has heard me speak on three different occasions.

1:24.8

And in the most recent conversation, she mentioned, hey, you should

1:29.7

play some of the stuff that you do live. It made me realize that some of our listeners may not

1:36.5

have any idea outside of podcasting what I do. Yes, I'm an author, as Joe Buck said on the

1:41.8

introduction, I wrote a book called On Fire. If you haven't yet read On Fire, consider checking it out. I'm also a father, a four, a husband to one, and a speaker. I travel around the neighborhood, around the city, around the state, around the country, and around the world, sharing this story that is intended to

2:01.8

wake people up from accidental living so that they can live inspired. It's also the mission of our

2:06.7

podcast. Well, the episode, the portion of the presentation that I want you to hear today is one of my

2:14.6

absolute favorites. It's probably in the Hall of Fame reel of content that we share live at events.

2:22.8

To set a little bit of color, a little bit of context from what you're about to step into, here it is.
