About this episode

The World’s #1 Personal Development Book Podcast!


In today’s episode we have the pleasure to interview not one but two Authors of  “The Vagrant: The Inner Journey of Leadership” by John David Mann and Dan Rockwell


Dan reached out to John with an idea for this book, and much to his surprise John wrote back and said “Let’s do it”. Now I’m oversimplifying the story a bit, but you’ll have to continue listening to find out more. 


John is an author of several books including “The Go-Giver” “Latte Factor” “Cold Fear” and many many more. He has been on our show before and I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode! It was a great one!


Dan, has a very popular leadership blog that you’ve probably heard of, and if not I encourage you go check it out at leadershipfreak.com. He is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, consultant, and was named one of the Top Fifty Leadership and Management Experts by Inc Magazine. Just to name a few of his accomplishments. 


In this episode, you’ll learn about the importance of self-reflection, insights into how to be an effective leader, why it’s important to get an accurate view of reality, and a glimpse into there incredible book.


Now get ready to learn, and enjoy this incredible conversation with John David Mann and Dan Rockwell.
