Today’s guest is Jon Acuff, the New York Times Bestselling author of five books including his most recent, Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work and Never Get Stuck. He’s a well-known public speaker, social media expert and amazing writer whose blogs have been read by millions of fans. For years Jon worked as a staff writer for well-known companies like Home Depot, Bose, Staples, and AutoTrader.com and helped tell their stories. Then he landed his dream job on the Dave Ramsey team as a full-time speaker and author and had “the three greatest years” of his professional life! What made him walk away from that job? We’re going to find out…
