Today’s guest is making her second appearance on the podcast. Her first was back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. That book, called No One’s Listening and It’s Your Fault was geared to leaders. Her new book is intended for managers and employees. It’s all about navigating the inevitable periods of change within […]

Over 500 episodes in, and it’s still possible for there to be firsts. This episode brings with it a special milestone; one that includes having featured—for the first time—three members of the same family. In previous episodes I’ve enjoyed having on Lee Cockerell and Dan Cockerell (father and son, respectively) to talk about their books. […]

Today’s guest and I seem to have a lot in common, and I’m so glad I was given the chance to meet him and interview him about his book. I think it’s one you definitely need to read for yourself. His name is Jason VanRuler, and his book is called Get Past Your Past: How […]

Today’s guest, a former fashion executive, successfully turned her communications expertise into a multimedia brand and consultancy. And today, you and I have the privilege of learning from her years of experience.

I’ve yet to meet my guest today in person, but we live less than 30 minutes from one another. I think I need to work harder at changing that soon. His name is Steve Woodruff, and this will make his second appearance on the podcast; his first being about five years ago in Episode #243. […]

One is a retired Navy SEAL. The other is an award-winning business executive. Together they’ve built a company called Culture Force. Dare I say both the company and their new book is a force to be reckoned with. Their new book (released August 29, 2023), has quickly become a favorite among those in my Read […]

I’ve had the chance to interview a number of professor/authors in the past. Today’s guest is both of those things, but with decades of experience as a CEO and entrepreneur to boot. He is Stanford Graduate School of Business professor David Dodson. His new book is called The Manager’s Handbook: Five Simple Steps to Build […]
