Summary
Join me every Monday for a quick burst of inspiration on our “Monday Moment” segment.
My forthcoming book IN AWE has been in the work for several years. A few weeks ago I was able to share a few advance reader copies with a few business leaders, mentors + friends I deeply admire.
Today I share a short message my dear friend Don asked me to share with the Live Inspired community after he finished reading IN AWE.
- "It's vintage O'Leary - priceless stories, the inclusion of the reader in the journey and the encouragement to overcome malaise, self-doubt and cynicism."
- "IN AWE gets us beyond surviving and to thriving."
Tune in to hear more from Don.
To help combat fear, isolation and other uncertainty around coronavirus, I created a 21-day challenge to inspire our community to focus on what they can control and to remain ferociously optimistic that their best remains ahead. Sign up for the IN AWE 21-Day Challenge here.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, my friends, and welcome to today's live-inspired podcast Monday Moments with John O'Leary. |
| 0:13.4 | As you know by now, these are created to help you start your week on fire and in awe with a short burst of inspiration. You may also notice that today I |
| 0:24.4 | sound a bit different. Why is that, John? Well, I'm recording this from my home office and |
| 0:30.3 | practicing like everyone else around the United States and around the world, a little bit of |
| 0:35.2 | social distancing. I think we all have to do our part to resolve |
| 0:39.0 | this issue as safely and as effectively as we possibly can as a community. You also may know that my |
| 0:47.0 | second book in awe has been in the works now for several years. I was finally able to send out |
| 0:53.5 | some advanced copies to some media, |
| 0:56.0 | a couple business owners, a few dear friends from the past, people that I've really had an |
| 1:00.5 | opportunity to get to know whose opinion I truly respect. It's a small group of folks. |
| 1:05.4 | I dropped them off with my mail carrier, her name is Lewin, barely had an opportunity to return to my office |
| 1:11.8 | when the phone started ringing, when email started beeping, when I started getting feedback |
| 1:16.3 | from these folks, these leaders, these people on what they thought about the book. |
| 1:21.6 | And ah, you talk about nerve-wrecking, you know? It's like they're judging your work. What |
| 1:25.5 | will they think? Well, the feedback to this point has been incredibly positive. |
| 1:30.1 | And about a week or so after I sent those letters out with the books within them, |
| 1:34.1 | a dear friend named Don works at a large hospital in St. Louis sent me a moving and a heartfelt letter. |
| 1:42.0 | He later recorded a short message and asked if I would play |
| 1:46.2 | today for the live-inspired community. So without farther ado, one person's response and reaction |
| 1:52.5 | to the book, in awe, his name is Don Eggelson. I know you'll love it. My name's Don |
| 1:57.9 | I've known John O'Leary for 12 years. In that time, I was able to bring John into work in our organization as a speaker and a consultant, and he was marvelous. I have to tell you, I am in awe of in awe. I think it's a really remarkable book. I thought on fire was a tremendous book, |
| 2:21.3 | and this one is even more so. It's also very timely. I think John has really provoked us in this book |
