October 1, 2026
What separates the high performers who build lasting success from those who stay stuck? In this episode of Big Hitters, Larry Weidel sits down with last year's MVP, Jolene Janke, during her trans-Canada live speaking tour. Together, they explore what truly drives high achievers, the hidden costs of staying in mediocrity, and why timing is everything when identifying future leaders. Larry breaks down the importance of continuous training—even for world-class leaders—and shares why you can't want success for someone more than they want it for themselves. If you are ready to stop letting other people's lack of drive slow you down and start building long-term growth, this breakdown is a must-listen.
