​A Story of Success with Tyler Perry

In this episode, we’re sharing an impactful conversation between John C. Maxwell and Tyler Perry from last year’s Live2Lead event in Atlanta, Georgia. You’ll be inspired and encouraged as you hear Tyler’s story of overcoming adversity, finally making it, and then realizing the opportunity he has to create a positive impact on so many other lives. John sums it up well when he says, “Success is what I do for myself. Significance is what I do for others.”

We have a special BONUS resource for you and your team with this episode: a video of the following year’s interview with John and Tyler at the Live2Lead event in 2018. You can access this free video by clicking “Watch the bonus video” below.
