  • Episode #197: The Secrets of Effective Leadership
    I’ve known today’s guest by reputation (it’s a good one) but our paths, until recently, had never crossed.
    But who would discover the Read to Lead Podcast while searching through iTunes attempting to find a few decent leadership-based podcasts? Yep, that’s right. Brad Lomenick.

    After skimming past shows, Brad realized he and I had a lot of mutual relationships. So, what did he do? He immediately visited the website, clicked over to the contact page, and contacted me directly. And here we are!
    If you’ve ever heard of the annual Catalyst Conference which takes place in Atlanta each year (with one-day events in other cities), Brad Lomenick is the mastermind behind the event. Yep. He’s Catalyst Brad!
    His most recent book, released in September of 2015, is called H3 Leadership: Be Humble, Stay Hungry, Always Hustle.

    * …and plenty more!

  • Episode #196: 5 Steps to Achieving Your Most Important Goals
    To say I’ve been anticipating sitting down with today’s guest for a long time would be a major understatement.
    Since Read to Lead began back in mid-2013, Michael Hyatt has been on my short list of people to seek out. If you’ve ever read my About Page, you know his is among the names I’ve included as having influenced my personal growth and development over the years.

    He’s even responsible for helping me name the show, though he didn’t know it at the time. You see, it was Michael who I first heard say, “Leaders read and readers lead,” and “Leaders are readers.”
    When I was trying to decide what to call this podcast I’d conceived, I remembered back to those quotes and quickly realized the show’s name was hidden in there somewhere.
    Today, Michael is here to talk about a subject I believe he’s better-suited to speak on that just about anyone I know.  That subject is goal setting.
    Michael’s new book, out today, is called Your Best Year Ever: A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals. In a word, it’s incredible!

    In today’s episode, I ask Michael to share about:

    * What makes this book different from the hundreds of others on the topic
    * We’ll dive into his SMARTER goal-setting framework, an improvement on the well known SMART version
    * Of course, we’ll discuss his 5-step plan.
    * …and plenty more!

  • Episode #195: Eight Keys to Achieving Your Goals
    Today’s guest on the podcast has an amazing story. In fact, his writing a book was directly impacted by two previous Read to Lead authors.
    His name is Mark Schinnerer, and an amazing leader I’ve had the chance to get to know over the last year or so as Mark is a member of the Read to Lead University book club.

    His brand new book is called The Success Grower: Eight Down-to-Earth Elements for Achieving Your Goals. These eight concepts are laid out in the form of a business parable. I love learning concepts in this format, ala Og Mandino, Bob Burg and Andy Andrews. I think you will too.
    In The Success Grower, you’ll meet Alan Morris, who’s starting to see his goal slip away. Without any real plan, other than working hard and putting in his time, his view of success is now changing. You’ll follow him on an accidental trip to a far where you and Alan together will discover the eight elelements for achieving success.
