Listen Later

Ep. 91 You’ve devoured all the self-help books, highlighted every business strategy, and absorbed every lesson from the top entrepreneurial reads. But what if I told you that the missing key to your next breakthrough might be hiding in the pages of a fiction book? 🤯


In this week’s episode of High Vibe Table Talks, I’m shaking things up and stepping away from my usual sales and business book recommendations. Instead, I’m diving into the world of fiction—because trust me, these stories can transform the way you think, lead, and create.

Fiction isn’t just an escape.


It’s a powerful tool that enhances creativity, empathy, and cognitive flexibility—all essential skills for business and personal growth. As I share the six books that changed me as a person and a business owner, I’ll show you how fiction can open new pathways in your brain, helping you see challenges (and solutions) in a whole new light.


Notable Quotes from the Episode:

📖 "Not only is reading for pleasure okay—it makes me a better business owner."
