About this listen

Looking to take your business to the next level, boost sales and productivity, or raise confident, capable kids? You’re in the right place. The secret? It’s the QBQ.

If you haven’t yet discovered the bestselling book QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, it’s time to check it out. This powerful concept is transforming how people lead, live, and grow—by focusing on one foundational principle: personal accountability.

In every episode, your hosts Kristin and John explore how taking ownership—at work, at home, and in life—can unlock real, lasting success. It’s not about blaming, complaining, or waiting. It’s about asking better questions and choosing responsibility.

Personal accountability—it’s really that simple.

    In Part 5 of The Story of QBQ! series, Kristin talks with David Levin — the creative partner who helped shape the QBQ! book we all know today. Together they revisit how it all came together, from cassette tapes to a timeless message of Personal Accountability.


    We’re back with Part 5 of The Story of QBQ! series — and this one’s a fun behind-the-scenes conversation you won’t want to miss.

    My guest is David Levin, the creative partner who helped my dad, John G. Miller, shape the QBQ! book into the clear, practical, and powerful message it is today.

    David and I talk about how he and my dad first connected back in the cassette-tape days (yes, really), what led to rewriting the original book, and how their teamwork helped QBQ! become a timeless guide to Personal Accountability.

    It’s part history, part friendship, and all QBQ heart. With a surprise guest appearance that surprises and delights!
