This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is John Garrett—a keynote speaker, award winning author, consultant, and the creator of the powerful concept known as "What's Your And?" If you're looking for the X factor in how to build a culture where people actually perform at their best, feel connected, and bring their whole selves to work… John is the guy you need to hear from.

John started his career as a CPA before breaking the mold—quite literally—by becoming a nationally touring comedian. And that's what sparked his groundbreaking discovery: people are more than their job titles, and organizations that embrace their employees' outside-of-work passions—what he calls their "Ands"—build stronger cultures, retain talent longer, and unlock levels of performance and engagement most leaders never tap into.
He's worked with companies like PwC, AstraZeneca, and Microsoft, and written the bestseller What's Your And? His message is simple but transformative: We perform better when we bring all of who we are to what we do. And for entrepreneurs and business owners looking to build thriving, winning cultures—John's frameworks are pure gold.

I've personally spent time with John and seen him present his concepts live. His insights land. His stories resonate. And the applications for leaders are immediate.

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called "Lessons for Hannah." Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I'm going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don't hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We'd love to share it.
