If you've listened to previous book club episodes with Eric and Larry, you know you're in a for a good time. There's always a lot of horsing around, and a lot of great masterminding and story-telling between the 4 of us.

This book Who Not How is an awesome leadership primer and does a great job refocusing us on the importance of recruiting force multipliers into our business. In fact, it was a big motivator for Brandon and I to finally pull the trigger on a business manager for Floodlight. And just weeks later, Wayne joined the team and has already become major contributer to the team. 

Join in, check out the convo and download the book on audible or via Amazon. It's worth the read.
