In this episode of The Solo Coach Podcast, I’m sharing something deeply personal: the nine books that have had the most profound influence on my life, mindset, and coaching journey. These aren’t just “recommendations” — they’re the books that found me when I needed them most, shaping the way I think, feel, and show up in the world.

From timeless classics like How to Win Friends and Influence People to modern powerhouses like The Power of One More, each book comes with a story, three key takeaways, and a moment in time that changed everything for me. Expect laughs, reflections, and a big dollop of inspiration. Whether you're a coach, solopreneur or solo pathfinder, these reads may just speak to you in the same way they spoke to me.

We’ll cover:

• Why the right book always seems to arrive at the right time
• How books have helped me overcome fear, build confidence, and take action
• The single book I rate higher than any other (spoiler: it’s not on Amazon)
• What we can all learn from stories of hardship, resilience and reinvention
• Why reading is one of the most powerful tools for personal transformation

Plus, stick around to the end for my surprise bonus book — one that sparked some beautiful family conversations and helped me see life a little differently. If you liked this episode, please like, subscribe and rate the show!
