To build a legacy we have to build a solid foundation of values, standards, leadership, and expectations of ourselves and the people around us. We have the responsibility to pass those values on to others. 
As a leader you have the opportunity to impact other people. 
You’re influencing several generations right now and most importantly the next generation.

Leaving a Legacy

My name is Jon Maples.  I am a Police Chief for a medium sized agency.  I love my job in leadership, but it wasn’t easy to get there.  I want to spread the word of my journey-of how I got there and the lessons I have learned in making a better me for my family and my organization.  I wish to provide life lessons to help fathers be better fathers, husbands be better husbands, and leaders be better leaders.  We as a society need to get by to our God given American values-class, honor, respect, integrity, discipline, and hard work.  We need to focus on our health and wellness to be the best version of ourselves we can be.  Through my journey I have improved my quality of life for myself and the ones around me.

I want to help better the lives of others through my journey and what failures and successes I have had along the way.  I grew up in a divorced family, always was the underdog, but knew I had to make good choices to make a better future for myself and my family.

I met a young lady in middle school that has always made me a better person.  She is now my wife and provided me with two fun and energeticl sons.

I began my career as a young person and knew it was my calling.  I worked hard and am career oriented.  I worked my way through the ranks even through some failures and persevered to where I am today.  I will talk a lot about this throughout these podcasts.  I was appointed to my dream job as Police Chief of my hometown.  While holding my dream job and being the boss, I got lost in my career and lost focus of my family and my health.  

One day I realized how terrible of a person I was and the error of some of my ways.  I decided to change my mindset in life.  I heard a saying that changed my game… “You are what you do, not what you’ll say you’ll do!  Get to work!”  I am a leader of a police organization and was only “leading” people at work.  I had the tools, but was only using them while at work.   I needed to refocus on my life, my family, and my health.  For this to happen I had to refocus on positive change and fall in love with an sustainable journey.  I still work daily to build the right habits to be their best husband, father, and leader I can be.  

Join me in this podcast if you want to learn from my failures so you can be successful.  I am looking for people that want to follow and participate to get the most out of Life in Leadership to provide a better life for you and your family.  Your life’s strategy matters most in your approach to circumstances and situations for you to be a champion or winner always.  Stay in the Lion’s mood!  That’s the mood for winners.

We will have guests on the show at minimum once a month.  Guests from sports coaches to health and wellness coaches and other leaders.

Let me ask you, starting tomorrow, what are you going to do today to make a change in your life’s direction?
