To celebrate 500 Live Inspired Podcast episodes, Susan O’Leary interviews John O’Leary.
It’s been five years, 11 months and four days since the Live Inspired Podcast launched and 499 episodes later, I’m in awe that the Live Inspired movement has grown to hundreds of thousands of weekly listeners from all 50 states and more than 115 countries across the world.
It’s been an honor to have you alongside me as I had some of the most life-giving and life-changing conversations with luminaries and thought-leaders including New York Times bestselling authors, Hall of Fame athletes, Grammy-winning recording artists and literally a man who traveled to the moon TWICE!
When deciding how to celebrate this special occasion, my team and I had some pretty grandiose ideas yet nothing seemed as meaningful and full circle as handing the microphone over to the person who was there when it all got started.
Join me as Susan O’Leary, my mom and our very first guest, takes the reins to interview me with unexpected and hard-hitting questions, including for the first time ever — the Live Inspired 7.
Whether you’re brand new or helped build the community from the ground up, this episode is for you.
