Season 1
We started in early 2019, under the title the Transformational Leader Podcast. We invite you to access all 67 of our past podcast episodes.
Special shout out to Paul Martinelli, Mark Cole, Chris Robinson and the entire John Maxwell Team for their support. Each week, Mike Harbour and I sat down with great Though Leaders to talk about leadership. Most podcasts also featured our colleague Rick Morris and we often invited a few friends to join us in the discussion like Diane Caine and Richard Mobley. We focused on key topics related to transformational leadership. Check them out. New ones come for Season 2 come out each Thursday.
The leaders we interviewed were considered for our annual John C. Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award. Every year we identified 100 great leaders, and then narrowed it down to 30, then 10, and then finally one. We would like to think of it as the Heisman Trophy of Leadership.
Congrats to past award winners:
- Dr. Daniel. Amen,
- Casey Crawford,
- Bonnie St. John,
- Ivan Misner,
- Perry Noble, and
- Tony Stewart
