Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most with Greg McKeown

If you&apos;ve listened to the past two episodes, you&apos;ve heard my republished conversations with two great leaders who both passed recently: Tunch Ilkin and Jay Passavant. These interviews have had me reflecting on what it means to leave a legacy, particularly as a leader.Today, I talk about why it’s important to leave a legacy. I share some questions everyone should ask themselves, and I emphasize the importance of recognizing and accepting that you will die. I share a collection of Biblical and non-Biblical quotes on death, and I note that no one is promised tomorrow. I call you to stop taking life and leadership for granted, and I note that there are no do-overs in life. I stress the importance of living intentionally, and I note that people and relationships are what really matter in the end. I talk about how to create a life plan and the power of being honest with yourself, and I note that God’s plan for you is better than any plan you could come up with on your own."It&apos;s only when you recognize that you have a finite number of days on this planet that you can actually begin to live with wisdom, to live with purpose, and to live with intentionality."- Doug Smith"If you&apos;re not happy with the life that you&apos;ve lived...here&apos;s the exciting news: you&apos;re still breathing."- Doug Smith"At the end of the day, we’re not remembered for what we do, but by the people that we impact."- Doug Smith Key Takeaways this week on the L3 Leadership Podcast:●       One day, you really are going to die.●       Life goes quickly, no matter how long you&apos;re here.●       No one is promised tomorrow.●       If you were going to die today, what would you think and feel about your life?●       Stop taking life and leadership for granted.●       Do you know how beautiful life is?●       Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.●       You have one shot to make this work.●       Determine what you want your legacy to be and start living intentionally.●       People will summarize your life in one sentence.

A Leader's Legacy: What do you want to be Remembered for?

Jay Passavant was the founder of North Way Christian Community in Pittsburgh. The impact of his obedience to God’s call in his life to plant that church cannot be understated. He transformed our city, but his impact goes far beyond the walls of Pittsburgh as well. At Jay’s memorial service, my pastor said of him that he could have easily been a successful elected official or a CEO of a major corporation, and instead he chose to go all in on God’s call for him to start North Way, and that decision changed the world for so many people.Today, you’ll hear a throwback conversation I had with Jay in 2013. In it, we talk about life and leadership. He shares his story and discusses the lessons he has learned from it, emphasizing the importance of family and legacy. He defines leadership and notes what it means to have a natural talent for it, additionally explaining why everybody has what it takes to be a leader, to an extent. He talks about his experience as Student Body President in college and shares what he learned from it. “Leadership is cumulative...the more you exercise it, the stronger you become.” - Jay Passavant“Failure as a leader is inevitable...I found that failure was an opportunity to learn to trust God in a new way with something that you may have thought you had down pat.” - Jay PassavantKey Takeaways this week on the L3 Leadership Podcast:● What it means to be a leader● Why leadership involves natural talent● Productivity and using your time well● Balancing your family and your work● How to respond to pain in your lifeMentioned Resources:● Henne Jewelers● Beratung Advisors● My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers● Destined for the Throne by Paul Billheimer● Don’t Waste Your Sorrows by Paul Billheimer● The works of John Eldredge● Built to Last by Jim Collins● Good to Great by Jim Collins● The works of Jack HayfordWelcome to the L3 Leadership Podcast!Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of the L3 Leadership podcast, where we’re obsessed with helping you grow to your maximum potential and maximize the impact of your leadership.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify I Stitcher I Apple Podcasts I iHeart Radio I TuneIn I Google Podcasts I Amazon Music
