ATG 226: No Elevator at Everest: A Candi...

JON ACUFF
About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with my younger brother Will—founder of Corner to Corner and author of No Elevator at Everest—for a raw, hilarious, and deeply meaningful conversation about goals, grit, and joy in the midst of real-life challenges. We talk about family dynamics, stolen cars, late-night wake ups, and the kind of leadership that gets built when nobody's watching. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to lead with purpose when life doesn’t slow down, this episode is for you.

Will's Book List
The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
The Fifteen Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Klemp
The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist
The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen
