Listen "The Mindset of a Leader: Faith, Growth & Success with John D. Marvin"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, I sit down with John D. Marvin, President and CEO of Texas State Optical, a $110 million organization with a rich history dating back to 1936. As a visionary entrepreneur, acclaimed columnist, and dedicated advocate for health and wellness, John brings a wealth of knowledge on leadership, mindset, and faith.
We dive into his journey—from his leadership role at TSO and the unique structure of a membership-owned cooperative vs. a franchise, to the pivotal role faith plays in his life. John also shares his insights on cultivating a growth mindset, prioritizing wellness as a leader, and his involvement with the John C. Maxwell Team.
Join us for an inspiring conversation filled with valuable lessons on business, leadership, and personal growth!
