What can one say about John David Mann? He has mastered, well he wouldn't say that, but I would, writing non-fiction, parable and fiction writing. He has also shown us how a marriage can be lived fully and be written about, how to start your own school, and how to run a business with over 100,000 people. And those are just a few of his achievements to date. My favorite is that he has launched almost every book he has written or co-authored on my show since 2015. Yup, that one is special to me because his words lift my spirits, awaken my brain and bring me joy. Well not just to me but to over 3 million people in 38 languages. Blind Fear is John's latest novel with Brandon Webb and it does not disappoint. Today we talked about what his latest novel means, how he manages to take a more 'Hitchcockian" approach to writing than many others (my choice of words as you will hear), and how crime writing taught him to fall in love with the world.  These aren't the usual questions John gets asked, and his answers may surprise you.  Take a listen as we dive deep with John David Mann on life, fiction, writing mastery mentoring and a few other things. John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager. Before turning to business and journalism, he forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At fifteen he won the prestigious BMI Awards to Student Composers and received the award at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, where he met such twentieth-century-music luminaries as William Schumann and Leopold Stokowski. He apprenticed as a choral conductor under his father, Dr. Alfred Mann, which gave him the chance to meet more legendary figures of classical music, including Randall Thompson, Leonard Bernstein, Boris Goldovsky, Robert Shaw, and George Crumb. His musical compositions were performed throughout the U.S. and his musical score for Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound (written at age thirteen) was performed as part of a theatrical production of the play at the stone amphitheater in Epidaurus, Greece—the very one, in fact, where the play was originally premiered a few thousand years earlier. At age seventeen, he and a few friends started their own high school in New Jersey (called Changes, Inc.). “Alternative” though they were, his school successfully placed its students in such universities as Harvard and Yale. After graduating, he joined the school's faculty. In the years since he has taught children in affluent Boston suburbs, Indiana farms, and the poorest neighborhoods on the outskirts of Philadelphia. John never planned to go into business; it just seemed to keep working out that way. He has founded one school, one food distribution business, one graphic design business, and two publishing companies. John's diverse career has made him a thought leader in several different industries. In 1986 he founded and wrote for Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition, and environmental issues. His series on the climate crisis, “Whither the Trees?” (yes, he was writing about this back in the eighties), was selected for national reprint in 1989 in Utne Reader for a readership of over one hundred thousand. In 1992 John helped write and produce the underground bestseller The Greatest Networker in the World, by John Milton Fogg, which became the defining book in its industry. During the 1990s, John built a multimillion-dollar sales/distribution organization of over a hundred thousand people. He was cofounder and senior editor of the legendary Upline journal and editor in chief of Networking Times. As a public speaker he has addressed audiences of thousands. John is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal, for The Go-Giver), the Nautilus Award (for A Deadly Misunderstanding), and Taiwan's Golden Book Award for Innovation (for You Call the Shots). The Go-Giver was also honored with the Living Now Book Awards “Evergreen Medal” in 2017 for its “contributions to positive global change,” and cited on Inc.'s “Most Motivational Books Ever Written” and HubSpot's “20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time”; The Go-Giver Leader was listed on Entrepreneur magazine's “10 Books Every Leader Should Read” and Forbes magazine's “8 Books Every Young Leaders Should Read.” His 2012 Take the Lead (with Betsy Myers) was named Best Leadership Book of 2011 by Tom Peters and the Washington Post. His first novel, Steel Fear (2021, with former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb), was hailed by Lee Child as “an instant classic, maybe an instant legend” and nominated for a Barry Award. Jeffery Deaver called the sequel, Cold Fear (2022), “one of the best crime novels of the year.” You can read his thoughts on entering the world of crime fiction at JohnDavidMann.com His books are published in 38 languages and have sold more than 3 million copies. John coauthored the international bestselling classic The Go-Giver (with Bob Burg), the New York Times bestsellers The Latte Factor (with David Bach), The Red Circle (with Brandon Webb), and Flash Foresight (with Daniel Burrus), and The Answer (ghost-written for John Assaraf and Murray Smith) and the national bestsellers The Slight Edge (with Jeff Olson), Among Heroes (with Brandon Webb), Out of the Maze (with Spencer Johnson) and Real Leadership (with John Addison). He has written for American Executive, CNBC, CrimeReads, Financial Times, Forbes.com, Huffington Post, Ivey Business Journal, Leader to Leader, Leadership Excellence, Master Salesmanship, Strategy & Leadership, and Wired. You can find his writings on Huffington Post here.

Welcome to another great episode of Entelechy Leadership Series. This is the first time in our podcast that we have brought back a previous Guest. Today we are joined by John David Mann, who was here on episode 87 talking about the Go-Giver series & Who Moved My Cheese. He is joined by his co-author and wife Ana Gabriel Mann and together they have written the book Go-Giver Marriage: A little story about the Five Secrets to Lasting Love.  Ana is a clinical psychiatrist and a licensed family therapist and now an author, while John is the author of the Go-Giver series. John and Ana have been together for 25 years, 10 of those were when they working together and 15 of them have been in Marriage. Their new book the Go-Giver marriage has been in the works since 2005 and has followed the same structure as the Go-Giver series. The book combines parables and practical steps to achieve your goal.  At the same time the book has now evolved into a training program for not just married couples but individuals too, with coaches accessible to individuals or teams where the 5 secrets are discussed in depth In this book, Ana and John give their readers 5 secrets of how to have lasting love in their marriage and relationships with other people.  This book is both a business book as well as a personal growth book because many entrepreneurs want to know how to balance their work and have a healthy, happy marriage and family life. It focuses on the daily steps that you can apply to change the negative habits, and shift your mindset and behaviors so as to change the dynamic of your marriage. With a focus on letting go of past baggage, communicating apologies, and having a spirit of generosity towards your spouse. A Philosophy that comes out in the book is the way to change your marriage, isn't by working on the marriage per se, but it's by working on yourself. In conclusion, marriage isn't a zero-sum game where we think that if I give you this, then I won't have it. By using the spirit of generosity, it means if for example by giving your partner time in your busy schedule it means you care for them, therefore making your relationship richer.   It can be viewed as a rising tide that floats both boats.  Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., holds a Master's degree in clinical psychology and dance-movement therapy from Antioch New England, where she specialized in working with adults and family therapy. She went on to train and work with renowned Israeli-born therapist Dr. Ruth Holt, a marriage and family specialist who taught couples to identify their patterns of dysfunction and cultivate “love maps” based on Dr. John Gottman's landmark research. Together they led a highly successful series of therapy groups that gave couples a window into the dynamics of the other marriages in the room. Following her work with Holt, Ana served as clinical director for a New England–based program providing county-wide therapy, education, and services for family members caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease; and as adjunct faculty and student trainer for Antioch New England, utilizing movement therapy to draw on long-term memory in individuals with Alzheimer's disease to facilitate emotional connection and wholeness. In 1984 she cofounded the New England Institute for Integrative Acupressure, New England's first college of Chinese medicine, where she co-led programs through 1997. For the past two decades, Ana has worked primarily as a corporate consultant, speaker, trainer, and business coach in both profit and nonprofit sectors. In addition to coaching and teaching the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love, she is the creator and lead facilitator of the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches training program. She is married to John David Mann, her coauthor for “The Go-Giver Marriage.” John David Mann is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Nautilus Award, the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal), Taiwan's Golden Book Award for...

Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were.” The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

What happens when a cellist and a sniper get together to write a few books? Magic. Perception shifting magic. At least that is what happens for me everyone time I read one of the books they have collaborated on based on Brandon Webb's experiences as a Navy Seal Sniper, Sniper Training School re-creator and CEO of a media company valued at $100mm. How does someone write a book with another, especially when they come from such diverse backgrounds and perspectives? It may surprise you to learn that they are actually closer in perspective than the title of this episode may lead you to believe. As a trained cellist and composer, from a family of renowned conductors and musicians, John shares how he connects with the authors he writes with, how his latest effort with Brand Webb, Total Focus: How to Make Better Decisions Under Pressure, is a culmination of years of working together and what drives him to work with others to spread their messages to the world. For John, "writing is music". For me, reading his words are like listening to the most beautiful piece of music ever played. Words have the power to shift thinking, to transform the reader forever. With their latest collaboration, my thinking is now transformed. John and I speak about Total Focus, working with others, and his and my favorite words.

Do you realize..? You were put here on this planet for a unique and singular reason, to fulfill a function that no other human being could. That’s why your fingerprints; your DNA’s are all different. It’s not a mistake, not an accident; you’re the only one of the kind that you are, and you don’t want to squander away that opportunity. Some people are fortunate enough to find life’s purpose or stumble into it by the time they’re 20. But, John David Mann was not that guy. His life story was sort of wandering in the desert. He recreated himself may be half a dozen times. He's gone from career to career. John later settled himself as an author, writer. While Bob Burg claims John as one of the best story tellers he’s ever come across, John’s books are published in more than two dozen languages and have sold more than 2 million copies. John’s diverse career has made him a thought leader in several different industries. Today, he joins the, A Desire to Inspire with Manny Patrick show. In this Episode you will learn: The evolution of John David Mann, growing and ending up to where he is today. The biggest lesson John learned about himself and the transition from being a musician to becoming a very sought after writer, author and businessman. How do you adjust to having a plan but also being pulled in a different direction altogether. Is there a personality type that needs to be exposed for one to reach a pinnacle? How do you handle rejection and what is the mindset there that needs to be in place to keep moving forward? How do we make decisions and better decisions? What’s the strategy? How do we go from wanting something in our life, to actually committing and then making that desire come to life? What is the simplest and surest way to change the results in life, you’re unhappy with One powerful jam packed message of inspiration About our Guest: John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager. Before turning to business and journalism, he forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At fifteen he won the prestigious BMI Awards to Student Composers and received the award at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. At age seventeen, he and a few friends started their own high school in New Jersey (called Changes, Inc. — you can read about it here and here). “Alternative” though they were, his school successfully placed its students in such universities as Harvard and Yale. John never planned to go into business; it just seemed to keep working out that way. He has founded one school, one food distribution business, one graphic design business, and two publishing companies. In 1986 he founded and wrote for Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition, and environmental issues. As a public speaker he has addressed audiences of thousands. John is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal, for The Go-Giver), the Nautilus Award (for A Deadly Misunderstanding), and Taiwan’s Golden Book Award for Innovation (for You Call the Shots). His books are published in more than two dozen languages and have sold more than 2 million copies.
