Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! I’m 75% Irish and St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year – and it’s a day that keeps bringing me back to John Lee Dumas.
Exactly six years ago on this very day, I had my first discussion with John for his powerful Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast – considered by many to be one of the top podcasts in the world. We talked about how to focus on what you want to expand.
A couple of years later, John was kind enough to have me on his podcast again as I published a new book on authentic leadership.
The purpose of this post is to share with you an exciting and valuable book John is publishing – but first, some backstory.
How I First Connected With Entrepreneur John Lee Dumas
Today is March 17th, 2021 – the first recording we had for his podcast happened on March 17th, 2015. In early 2015, before this first recording happened, I was out in San Diego, California for a fantastic business trip.
After hearing great things about John from a friend, I emailed him asking if he was free to meet up for a coffee. He wasn’t available on the days/times I was and we didn’t meet in person, but he ended up inviting me onto his podcast.
When I contacted him, I genuinely didn’t have the intention of getting onto his podcast, so this was a good example of not forcing things, not having a hidden agenda, and going with the flow. John and I both have high energy, making us a good match in many ways. Ultimately, the credit goes to John here for taking the initiative to create such a meaningful, influential, and impactful podcast that helps people all around the world. By putting himself out there, he made connections like this possible (not to mention the many thousands of entrepreneurs he’s helping).
Being on John’s podcast was a big-time opportunity and an honor, as he genuinely has had some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world on his show. I’m extremely grateful for the positive feedback I received from listeners about my recorded chats with John, and I’m also thankful for John being who he is and fully himself.
Featuring John in My Books: He Embodies The Power of Being Yourself
John Lee Dumas isn’t someone I just talked to once and then forgot about. His tips, insights, and presence have been continuously inspirational to me. I featured him in a couple of my books, showcasing his expertise on several topics. For starters, his time management tips are excellent – John is one of the most productive people I’ve ever come across.
Also, the way John activates the power of authentic leadership by being fully himself is precisely why he’s achieved the level of success he has.
The way John encourages others to be fully themselves, with John leading by example, has influenced me and others. I talk more about this in this brief video (mentioning John in the same conversation as what I picked up in my interactions with Mark Cuban and Senator Chris Murphy):
John’s Exciting New Book on Success
Piggybacking off of the success of his previous books, John is coming out with a new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success. In this book, John lays out a practical roadmap to financial freedom and gratification.
Thousands of hours of conversations with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, distilled into a roadmap to freedom and fulfillment – sounds like Mountaintop-level content, right?
My entrepreneurial comrade John Lee Dumas executed and actually created it! He’s done over 3,000 interviews with today’s top entrepreneurs, and he’s launching this book to share 17 time-tested principles for people who dare to show up and do the work.
