What it Takes to Be in Awe with John O'Leary

Have you had the opportunity to walk in an elementary school and witness the joy, the curiosity, the childlike wonder? Today, we are missing a piece of that of wonder. We can list the reasons why we've lost it and it's more important to recognize we can get that optimism back. John O'Leary believes in showing up with everything you have and investing in those right in front of you. John is the author of On Fire and his latest book, IN AWE: Rediscover Your CHILDLIKE WONDER to Unleash INSPIRATION, MEANING, and JOY. John and Kevin discuss a beginner's mindset and how that can help us find new solutions and build relationships – not just finish a task. Further, we can use difficult challenges as an opportunity to grow in compassion and empathy and find your true direction. In this episode, John shares: What kids know that we don't. First time living. Loneliness and leadership. This episode is brought to you by... Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin's free weekly e-newsletter.
