Maxwell Leadership Podcast

Success may seem daunting if you don't know what it looks like for yourself or how to get there. That's why we are excited to bring you this week's episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. Today, Mark Cole and John Maxwell are joined by Ed Mylett. Ed is a highly successful entrepreneur who has blended his unique experiences with a diverse set of practical strategies that have made him one of the most sought-after inspirational speakers in the world today. One week ago today, Ed released his new book, The Power of One More: The Ultimate Guide to Happiness and Success, in which he shares 19 "one mores" you can add to your life to achieve the life you desire for yourself. As Ed points out in this episode, when it comes to attaining our goals, most of us don't have a vision problem, we have a depth perception problem. Since the recording of this podcast, Ed Mylett has announced that he is graciously donating 100% of the profits from this book to the families of the victims of the Uvalde, Texas shooting.
