概要

 This is a throwback to the classic Plucking Up format: real stories, real twists, real embarrassments. And there's no better guest for that than Jon Acuff. Jon is a New York Times bestselling author of 10+ books, including Soundtracks, Finish, and his newest, Procrastination Proof. In this conversation, Jon takes us all the way back to tap dancing, a graveyard of GoDaddy URLs, laser hair removal jingles, and traces the slow, deliberate path that led to the career he has today. He's honest, funny, and remarkably generous with what it actually took.
