Kevin “Duke” Reed has always loved summer reading, and in this episode, he’s looking back on some of his favorites — from “The Count of Monte Cristo” in his youth to Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Duke breaks down the concept of paradigm shifts that can help us stay open minded (without compromising on our core principles), and then discusses the first of Covey’s seven habits. Make sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss Part 2 of this conversation!
