Mark Cole: 作为一名领导者，我认为与他人建立联系的关键在于能够理解他们的经历。John Maxwell的课程强调了逆境在建立这种联系中的作用。我亲眼目睹了John Maxwell如何通过分享自己的挣扎和失败，与他所领导、沟通和激励的人们建立深厚的联系。这种平易近人的态度使他能够有效地影响他人，并激励他们追求卓越。我鼓励听众积极参与，通过评论提供反馈，帮助我们不断改进节目，更好地服务于大家。 John Maxwell: 我认为，成功往往会在人与人之间拉开距离，尤其是在那些已经成功的人和那些尚未成功的人之间。因此，对于那些已经取得成功的人来说，最重要的是不要扩大这种差距，而是要缩小它。我多年前就决定，我不希望拥有粉丝，因为粉丝会扩大差距。我希望拥有朋友，而逆境是缩小差距的关键。当我们意识到彼此理解时，真正的连接就开始了。
