The Next 24 Hours

How do great leaders become great? New York Times bestselling author Tommy Spaulding believes it's through the way we love, serve and elevate others. I couldn't agree more, and I am so thrilled to have him on the show today for a very special episode where he's sharing the story of the National Leadership Academy, the annual conference he puts on for high school students. He's also telling us about the unprecedented journey he's taking this summer to keep the mission of NLA going strong in the midst of COVID-19. I know this episode will inspire you as we find new ways to serve and grow together post-pandemic.
