Backstage Leadership Interview: Jon Acuff

Backstage Leadership, Interviews Dec 11, 2009 7 Comments

A brief interview with blogger Jon Acuff of Stuff Christians Like. Jon shares some great insights on the fact that his blog wasn’t an over night success. He actually spent lots of time (years) writing before the current blog. And it paid off. I also love Jon’s heart to use his platform for good. Through the readership of his blog he built 2 schools in Vietnam. If you like to be a part of that, click here. By the way, the interview gets cut short, so hopefully we’ll finish the full version soon.

    And sorry Jon (He had no idea about the scarf and white belt!) Great time hanging though.

  2. Stephen Bateman says:

    Man he’s good. I love it thanks for putting this together Greg.

  3. Greg says:

    Totally agree. Jon’s extremely talented, but very humble about it. He also works hard. He didn’t just wake up and BAM, he was a good writer. No, he wrote a lot and then he wrote some more.

  4. Kyle Reed says:

    Good practical advice from Jon.
    I think for a long time I just thought he was an overnight success, but in all honesty it shows how much he wrote and worked at what he was writing and saying..
    Good interview Greg.

  5. Greg says:

    There is no such thing as an over night success. Keep working at it Kyle. Excited for you!

  6. Becky Miller says:

    Oh, my goodness. You just accoutered Jon Acuff.

  7. Greg says:

    He was a great sport. I was laughing about it just the other day as I was grabbing a scarf!
