Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast

John Maxwell has written over 100 books on leadership and sold more than 35 million copies worldwide, so calling him prolific is an understatement. This executive-focused podcast is the practical application arm of his organization, hosted primarily by Perry Holley and Chris Goede with Maxwell’s principles woven throughout. At 300 episodes and a 4.7 rating from 365 reviews, it occupies a distinct niche from the general Maxwell Leadership Podcast by targeting mid-to-senior leaders who are already past the basics. Episodes drop weekly and run 20 to 30 minutes, making them easy to fit into a commute. The content leans heavily on frameworks and actionable models. Recent topics include margin as a leadership advantage, eliminating stress through better systems, and the discipline of alertness. Holley and Goede have an easy chemistry that keeps the conversation grounded -- they regularly share stories from their own coaching work rather than just quoting Maxwell. The show occasionally features longer interview episodes with external guests. Production quality is straightforward and no-frills, which actually works in its favor. You get the sense that every minute of every episode was planned to be useful. For leaders already familiar with Maxwell’s body of work, this podcast extends those ideas into weekly practice. For newcomers, it functions as a curated entry point into his leadership philosophy without requiring you to read a shelf of books first.
