John “JT” Turner is a sales executive, leadership coach, and team builder with a proven track record of turning good teams into great ones. In this episode, John Barrows and JT explore what authentic sales leadership really looks like—and how to apply it in today’s fast-moving, AI-influenced world.
They unpack JT’s formative experiences, including his time at Google X launching moonshot ideas in cybersecurity, and how that environment shaped his approach to leadership, risk-taking, and thinking 10X. JT shares the story behind his new book, "Authentic Sales Leadership", and dives into practical frameworks like his Victory Plan—a simple yet powerful tool for coaching performance and culture.
They also tackle the rising importance of EQ over IQ, how to coach it, and what it means to invest in talent even when turnover is inevitable. This episode blends heart, hustle, and hard-won wisdom—making it a must-listen for leaders looking to build high-performing teams rooted in values, not just metrics.
