Show Notes

Why A Legacy Matters: “If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.” That’s from futurist and thought-leader Ray Kurzweil.

One of the key benefits of John's Legacy Map is training growth minded leaders to think exponentially instead of linearly — perhaps for their first time ever. This paradigm shift is an essential skill in our age of blistering-fast advances in technology.

Ross and John talk about life purposes, life transitions, our future self, adapting, 'Scaling Up', working at IMB, entrepreneurship, getting to the top, Earl Nightingale, focusing on work and retirement. The pair also discuss  creating value, big ideas to simple models, embracing life, perusing challenges, new experiences, the beauty of ageing, unplugging, loving yourself and jet skiing.
