Leadmore Podcast John T. Meyer

On this special episode, host John T. Meyer shares the six themes he has drawn over the course of 100 episodes as well as what he loves most about building a podcast. John gets nostalgic by bringing back clips from some of his favorite episodes and is grateful for all of those who have listened to any (or all) of the 100 episodes. 

John's six leadership themes from 100 episodes are:
Belief - Hear why Coach John Stiegelmeier says it's essential to success (Ep 13). Cheerlead - Listen to Liz Giorgi explain the real role of any CEO (Ep 20).Growth - Nate Poeppel teaches us that life is the curriculum to become a better person.Community - Whatever your community is, Paige Pearson Meyer reminds us to leave it better than we found it (Ep 73).Foundation - It is in our times of trial where we learn what we stand for and no one embodies this more than Tim Schut (Ep 72).Gratitude - Let the words of Dr. David O'Hara wash over you as he teaches us how to practice gratitude every day in big ways or small (Ep 87).

A lot can change in two years, look no further than episode one of the Leadmore Podcast with Governor Dennis Daugaard.

Consider this a BONUS episode of the Leadmore Podcast before episode 100 officially drops. This is a replay of episode one. John starts by discussing the importance of looking back at your work and recognizing how far you've come. Don't be afraid about how you look, what it sounds like, or what the five-year-plan looks like, it only matters that you start. That's how John started this show and as he admits, it is reflected in the quality of episode one of this podcast. 

Listen to John's thoughts on replaying episode one and take a listen yourself to the wise leadership lessons of South Dakota's 32nd Governor, Dennis Daugaard. 

Transition is part of everyone's life. Sometimes a transition is exciting, but oftentimes it can be stressful and confusing. The key is to understand how to navigate it. 
In this episode of the Leadmore Podcast, host John T. Meyer reflects on his season of transition. You might recall that he sold his company earlier in the year and now he's trying to figure out what's next. John has spent the summer reflecting, reading books and talking to friends, including past Leadmore guests about change and transition. In this episode, he also taps into the Leadmore Podcast community to ask - how does one tackle transition?

Leadmore host John T. Meyer has two core ideas with the Leadmore Podcast. First, the world needs more leaders. Second, leadership doesn’t have to look the way it always has. Leadership comes in many forms. In this divisive and politically charged time, we need the right leaders to step up.
In episode 96, John shares about the kind of leadership he believes we need during this time. He shares a framework for leadership including tapping into potential, using empathy, finding alignment, and the importance of mentorship. What leadership role are you being tapped to step into? Do you need to be tapping someone around you to show them their potential? Allow this episode to remind you how you can step up into leadership and help those around you step up as well.
