John Stanko: Purpose, Publishing, and Leadership Pain

Bill Rhoades is a board member of PurposeQuest International, and has been friends with John Stanko for many years. In fact, Bill knows John's material better than he does, so Bill and John thought it would be interesting for Bill to interview John to hear more about John's love affair with purpose message for the last 30 years and how that message led to John's publishing and leadership career.
