John, former wealth management founder and current C12 Chair, shares the pivotal thinking shift that led to explosive growth\u2014from a stagnant expansion plan to scaling past $1.25 billion in assets before exiting the business in 2020. After conducting a rigorous two-week time study with over 400 data points, he discovered that his highest-leverage opportunity\u2014M&A was receiving the least amount of his time. That misalignment was costing him millions. John\u2019s upcoming book, Thinking for Success, distills decades of leadership lessons into practical stories that upgrade how leaders think about relationships, problems, influence, productivity, and belief systems. This is a masterclass in disciplined thinking for CEOs, business owners, and leaders building for impact beyond profit.
