One of my favorite things about creating content on a regular basis is the people I’m able to meet along the way. Often times, those people I meet and I become friends. Occasionally, I get to invite those friends onto the show. Such is the case with today’s guest, Pierce Marrs. Pierce has been hosting his […] The post 316: Could You Survive Shark Tank? first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

I often field requests from publishers and publicists pitching books intended for, mostly, women (or, mostly men). Almost universally I find that I get just as much, personally, out of books intended for the other gender (women in my case). Such is the case with today’s featured book by Kate Crocco. One of my favorite […] The post 315: Thinking Like a Boss with Kate Crocco first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

When I think back to my time in college, I can’t help but think about how much of that time I wasted. So much so that I ended up dropping out of college after about two years in (Sorry Butler, it’s not you…it’s me). I would eventually return, studying a different discipline and, interestingly, did […] The post 314: The Surprising Power of Business Experiments with Stefan H. Thomke first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

It’s true. While working out the details in booking today’s guest for the show, I found another email exchange we’d shared nearly five years ago. In this brief exchange, we talked about her coming on to the show. That visit NEVER materialized! Why? Because I completely lost or forgot about the email. Well, it’s time […] The post 313: Building a Compelling Subscription With Robbie Kellman Baxter first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

As I say in today’s podcast, I buy this author’s books before I even know what they’re about. There are only a few of these kinds of authors on my list, but Michael Hyatt is one of them. His latest effort is a book called The Vision Driven Leader: 10 Question to Focus Your Efforts, Energize Your […] The post 312: The Vision-Driven Leader with Michael Hyatt first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Today’s guest is one of my favorite people to interview. She always brings her A-game. This marks her third appearance on the podcast, and for good reason. She brings her A-game to all her books as well. Her name is Margie Warrell and her latest is a book called You’ve Got This: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting […] The post 311: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

When I first became aware of today’s featured book, I wasn’t convinced an entire book on the topic was necessary. The idea of showing gratitude seems, well, pretty straightforward. We all know what it means, and most of us can recognize the value of showing it on occasion. The problem is most of us aren’t […] The post 310: Leading with Gratitude with Adrian Gostick first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Today’s guest wins the prize – if there indeed were a prize – for fastest repeat appearance on the show. That’s right, we first heard from Celeste Headlee when we chatted about her last book. Her new book, out today, is called Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving. Wow, is […] The post 309: Discussing the Art of Doing Nothing with Celeste Headlee first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

When I was first presented with the idea behind today’s featured book, I’ll admit I was skeptical. It seemed hard to believe that an actual formula could be applied to – and help solve – truly complex business problems. My guest today, David Benjamin, along with his co-author David Komlos, have turned me into a […] The post 308: Cracking Complexity with David Benjamin first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

It’s easy to fall into the mistaken belief that the way we work today is the way it has sort of always been. In reality, what we know as work today has only been practiced for the last 200 years or so; a mere drop in the ol’ history bucket, if you will.
