In this special New Year’s Day episode of Ignite Cast, hosts Taylor Tutor and Judd Wilson sit down with John Darnell, CEO of Global Outreach International, to talk about goal setting with purpose.
As the leader of a mission-sending organization headquartered in Tupelo and working around the world, John shares how he approaches setting goals that are both vision-driven and flexible, especially when leading people across cultures and continents. The conversation explores aligning personal goals with organizational mission, leading teams through uncertainty, and staying focused on long-term impact rather than short-term wins.
John also offers insight into how leaders can begin a new year with clarity, intentionality, and humility—setting goals that not only move organizations forward, but also serve people well.
Whether you’re starting fresh on January 1 or simply re-centering your leadership priorities, this episode will challenge you to think differently about success, service, and the goals that truly matter.
🎧 Start the year inspired—because strong leadership begins with clear purpose.
