Read to Lead Podcast

If there’s one area everyone of us can improve in, it’s the area of communication. I’ve talked with dozens of communication experts over the years. And I’d put Chuck Wisner at the top of my list. His new book is called The Art of Conscious Conversations: Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact. The book […]

At the beginning of this year, in Episode 456, I highlighted the six books I’m most looking forward to in the first half of 2023. I hope to feature all six here on the podcast. The first was featured in late January (Attention Span by Dr. Gloria Mark). I’m excited to share that the second […]

In 2021, when my book was released, I was invited shortly after to speak to a group at LinkedIn. LinkedIn staff were kicking off year two of their book club, and had chosen to do so with Read to Lead. My invitation to join that group came from Dan Horowitz, LinkedIn’s senior director of LinkedIn […]

My guests today ask the question, “What if the greatest salespeople on the planet are the opposite of who you think they are?” Everyone sells, every day. It’s why the most successful people are better than most at selling themselves, their ideas, or their products. Yet when people hear the word “sales” they think of […]

I have my friend Honorée Corder to thank again for this week’s guest. She’s always helping to introduce me to new and interesting people. The latest person on that list is Jen Gitomer. In 2019, she published the book we’re focusing on today. It’s called Sales in a New York Minute: Make More Sales, Build […]

Today, I’m sharing an audio summary of one of the most popular books of the last 20 years. First, it’s difficult to believe it came out nearly 17 years ago. The book I’m talking about celebrates its 17th anniversary on February 28th. The book I’m talking about of, course, is Mindset: The New Psychology of […]

A few weeks ago here on the podcast, I teased six books you should make it a priority to read in 2023, all of which are set to release within the first six months of the year. I also mentioned that I hoped to successfully invite each of these authors on to talk about their […]

What is the single best tool an entrepreneur needs to build, boost, and grow their business? Win an Olympic Gold Medal? Sure! That’d be great. But apart from that? Write a book, of course! That according to Honorée Corder, author of 20-plus books including 2016’s You MUST Write a Book: Boost Your Brand, Get More […]

Just over four years ago, I interviewed my friend James Clear about his, then, new book Atomic Habits. Little did I know then that this book would rock the publishing world and become a worldwide bestseller. I call it a modern-day 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, or How to Win Friends and Influence People, […]

I’m excited this week for lots of reasons. First, I celebrate my birthday is this week (tomorrow if you’re keeping score)! Second, I get to welcome onto the show a longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Matt McWillams, whose dream of traditionally publishing a book is finally being realized! That book is called Turning Your Passions […]
