''Nobody knows what you need better than you do, except for the

rest of the universe'' - @JohnDavidMann

Today’s interview with

John David Mann is going to inspire you to make a
real difference in the world!

John is an award-winning author

whose books have been published in more than two dozen languages
and have sold more than 2 million copies.

John has lived multiple lives

and built a diverse career that has left a major footprint on the
world. Growing up, he became
a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At age 17, he dropped out of high school and
decided to create a school of his own called Changes, Inc. If that
wasn’t enough, during the
90’s, John built a multimillion-dollar sales & distribution
organization of over a hundred thousand people. All this before
taking the world by storm with his incredible books.

I first met John back when he

and Bob Burg co-authored The
Go-Giver, a
business parable which was embraced by hundreds of thousands of
people around the world. Their most recent book, a follow up to the
original, titled The Go-Giver
Leader, answers the
question “How do Go-Giver ideas work in the realm of
leadership?”

Which leads us to the major

topic of today’s discussion…

You’ll soon find out that

leadership doesn’t only come from the top down, but can AND should,
exist everywhere. During the interview, John also talks about his
writing process, practicing appreciation, dealing with rejection,
and teaches you how to make the BIGGEST impact in your own
life!
