Bookclub Episode: Who Not How


Listen Later

We teamed up with the Floodlight Consultants Chris and Brandon for another great Book Club discussion. This time the book we delve into is: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.   It is a great book teaching us how to shift our mindset and start thinking more out of the box. When we change our perspective on growth and operations, we see different avenues and the infinite potential not only for our business but in all areas of our life.  We hope you enjoy our conversation. 

Brandon and Chris also have the Head, Heart and Boots Podcast.  You will love them there too!

Here's a 5 point summary of the provided text:

Podcast Discussion:
Health and Business Struggles: Early in the conversation, Eric shares his experience of being debilitated due to illness, highlighting the challenges of managing health and business demands.

Real-life Business Examples: Throughout the discussion, various real-life examples are shared to illustrate the principles of the book. These include stories of business owners who have successfully applied the 'Who Not How' philosophy by investing in high-quality team members and focusing on their unique strengths to drive business growth.
