Today we're visiting Leeds in the north of the UK to speak with our guest who is known as a productivity and time optimization expert, Mr. John J D Munn.

Let's start with a very impressive statistic. In 2022, while John was living and holidaying around different parts of Europe and the UK, he could still help his six-figure clients earn an additional 24 million in revenue and save them 21,840 hours. And despite all the travel and the multiple months off, he smashed his revenue record and achieved the most profitable year of his life.

John works around 15 hours a week and normally goes on holiday four or more times a year. In fact, when we caught up for this recording, he'd just returned from a week in Paris with his family. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty damn keen to learn his secrets. Now, as a bonus, imagine working in an environment where you're able to help your clients recover the most precious of all possessions, time. So team, in this episode today, John and I dive headlong into a discussion on ways that we might all be able to master the world of productivity and time optimization. I know you're going to enjoy this.

Today, it's the end of another quarter. Can you believe Quarter 3 for 2024?

This not only means we are officially three months away from Santa Claus visiting and also my turn once again to fly solo as we review the most recent 12 guests who graciously shared their time and insights with all of us in the past 3 months – July through September.

And as is always the case when I'm doing these recaps, I'm sitting in my studio here in Shanghai and reflecting very briefly on the journey with each guest.

We have had 12 amazing leaders join us and therefore as we do for every 13th week of the quarter, today we are going to look back over our line-up and touch on the highlights of the conversations.

Are you ready? If so, let's jump in and get started. By now you may be familiar with the approach - we chunk our 12 episodes into 4 groups of 3 weeks at a time – i.e. clusters of 3 guests per group.

And thanks to our brilliant marketing team we're able to incorporate each of the promotional intros to save you listening to my wonderfully crafted radio-friendly voice the entire time.

Today, we're visiting the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States and the city of Pullman, Washington, to chat with our guest, Mr. Jeff Perry. Jeff is a leadership and career expert, known for helping individuals, teams, and organizations unlock their potential in all facets of life. Given his background in engineering, business, and leadership, he specializes in working with engineering and technical professionals, but the principles he shares are universal. He loves to build people. He's the author of the new book, The Intentional Engineer: A Guide to a Purpose-Driven Life and Career For Engineers and Technical Professionals. And the book, by the way, is the centerpiece of our discussion in today's episode. Jeff received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Brigham Young University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Washington.

A sought-after teacher and speaker, Jeff is happily married to Robin, and together they have four children. As mentioned, his obsession is increasing productivity, innovation, and collaboration through fostering deeper human connections. As Jeff mentions, we've never been as technologically connected, yet more people are feeling lonely and disconnected than ever before. This causes many problems and has huge economic and health challenges for our society as well as business. Therefore, connection is the answer. So, Team ET, Jeff, and I will be speaking today about a raft of leadership characteristics and skill sets as a prelude to reading Jeff's book and going deeper into what makes great leaders.
