This podcast is for individuals who are ready to engage their heart, mind and soul in growing themselves and others to:Think positively, Live healthy, Build faith, Read more, Stay strong, Work hard, Network well, Worry less, Love always… AND Lead Uncommonly! In a fun interview format I will be engaging leaders from various walks of life who have a great story to tell and experience or have experienced similar challenges that we face every day. We will banter about relevant topics in Leadership through fun conversation and dialogue. We will examine current subjects and events and introduce simple, yet impactful steps you can take to make a difference… all in less than the time of your commute, your lunch, your workout or your walk to 10,000 steps a day! I might even sneak in some solo podcasts on those topics that I encounter with my coaching and consulting clients.

Ever been thrust into a role you never expected and found yourself leading the way? That's just a glimpse into the formative years of Mark Miller, our remarkable guest and a leadership maestro who rose through the ranks at Chick-fil-A. Our conversation is not merely a chat; it's a treasure trove of insights, guiding you on a path to 'Uncommon Greatness', the masterpiece Mark pens that breaks down five fundamentals capable of transforming your leadership ethos.
Join us on a deep exploration into the 'iceberg model' of leadership, where skills are just the tip while the enormous, unseen heart beneath drives true influence. It's about connecting the dots between one's heart and the trust they instill in their team, a lesson I've learned firsthand in my own leadership journey. Ken Blanchard weighs in, adding to the robust discussion on how to intertwine skill with the essence of leading with heart. This episode is an invitation to challenge the common and embrace the uncommon, ensuring that your leadership practice is as heartfelt as it is strategic.
As we wrap up, we don't just leave you with ideas but with actionable strategies. I'm sharing how I balance my result-driven nature with the softer side of leadership—like setting personal goals for expressing gratitude—to foster relationships while chasing goals. It's about doing ordinary things in an extraordinary fashion, a philosophy that Mark and I believe can resonate well beyond our conversation and into the communities you lead. So whether you're looking to edge out as a leader in your field or just seeking to enrich your personal leadership style, this episode is your guiding star to 'Lead Every Day' with impact and heart.

Proven Strategies to Overcome Limiting Beliefs and Self-Doubt with Kelsey Lensman
When resilience meets empowerment, extraordinary transformation begins. Join me, John Gallagher, as I sit down with the indomitable Kelsey Lensman, who turned a potentially career-ending injury into a springboard for inspiring women nationwide. Kelsey's tale is more than recovery; it's a narrative of shattering the glass ceiling of self-doubt through her 48 fitness challenges across 48 states in a mere 48 days. Her relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries serves as a clarion call to all women seeking to unlock their latent potential and solidify their self-belief.
Empower Fitness isn't just a gym; it's a crucible where mental barriers are forged into stepping stones, and Kelsey Lensman is the alchemist at its heart. We unpack the life-changing impact of strength training, not just on muscles but on the psyche of women spanning six decades. It's a place where stories of limitation are rewritten into anthems of capability, where 12-year-olds and grandmothers alike hoist weights and shatter stereotypes. The thread of shared struggle and triumph weaves a tapestry of community that uplifts and propels women towards unimagined personal and professional heights.
As we wrap up, I reflect on my own path of personal growth, catalyzed by a social media detox that gifted me a newfound clarity and deeper connections. It's a testament to the power of placing faith and focus at the forefront of our lives. This episode is not just an interview; it's a starting block for listeners ready to redefine their relationship with technology, forge a purpose-driven life, and join the ranks of uncommon leaders.

She Speaks Fire: Battling Shame, Reigniting Faith, and Claiming Purpose with Mariela Rosario
Have you ever felt overshadowed by the weight of shame, or wondered if your story could light the way for others? Our heartfelt conversation with Mariela Rosario, on her special day, unveils the transformative journey she narrates in "She Speaks Fire". Mariela shares an intimate tale of a childhood birthday party that left empty chairs but filled her life with self-doubt. This pivotal moment became the undercurrent for her pursuit of self-worth and purpose, which she bravely lays bare for us. The discussion transcends personal boundaries, as we together tackle the authenticity challenge and the shared struggle against shame's deceptive facade, offering insights for leaders to reforge their path with renewed faith.
Vulnerability and community emerge as twin beacons in our battle with shame, as I join Mariela in peeling back the layers of our own struggles. We dissect the art of living with unmasked authenticity, drawing from the profound truth that emerges from scriptural wisdom and the original deception around shame's inception. As we advocate the significance of safe spaces for healing, we also confront the hesitations around judgment and the liberating power of empathy. The episode concludes with a deep reflection on the paradoxes that many carry from the world into spiritual life and the immense strength we harness when we allow ourselves to be fully known, supported by godly counsel and the solidarity of shared burdens. Join us for this powerful exchange that celebrates growth, healing, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Refreshing!
John brings such a fantastic and grounded point of view to his conversations! I loved the episode with Amy and Jess! Incredible content.
Uncommon leader. Transformative insights into sales and leadership
I found the information shared by Mike Ferrell to be very interesting and helpful. It is true that not all people are the same with their sales approach and talents. Although I am not in sales I find myself being asked to be involved in sales calls. I appreciate his sharing of the importance of relationship development and humility. Thanks for asking the great questions and inviting this speaker to share his wisdom.
Look forward to every episode!
Every week John delivers and inspiring and entertaining Podcast. I find myself looking forward to each episode as it helps me with my personal growth.
