“Read less. Apply more.”

That’s Nick Hutchison’s philosophy, and I’ll admit, it immediately got my attention.

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Hutchison, bestselling author, keynote speaker, founder of BookThinkers, and someone who has built a business around helping people turn the world’s best books into real-life results.

We get into why simply reading more isn’t necessarily the answer, why Nick prefers physical books over audiobooks when he wants to actually implement something, and how a guy who once barely read became obsessed with using books to change his life.

But my favorite part? Nick shares a wild story from his honeymoon in Croatia involving a closed restaurant, a questionable decision…and a complete stranger who showed him just how far his impact had traveled.

🎧I won’t spoil it. You need to hear this one.

📌Key Takeaways
✔️What it really means to build a heart-led business
✔️Why books still matter in a distracted world
✔️How accountability turns reading into results
✔️The unexpected moments that prove your impact goes beyond analytics, including a memorable encounter in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
✔️How to stay heart-led and profitable

I’ve always believed that caring about people and making money in business shouldn’t be an either-or decision. But figuring out how to make those two things work together? That’s where things get interesting.

That’s exactly what I wanted to dig into with Dr. Joseph Albano, a former Air Force Flight Surgeon who went on to build his own practice.

Dr. Albano gets candid about undercharging, recognizing the value of his expertise, investing in his team, and why profit can actually help you serve people better.

We even get into his “Batman toolkit” and there’s a pretty great business lesson behind it.

In this episode of The Heart-Led Business Show, I sit down with Dawn Staudt, founder of Heart and Light Yoga, a Nashville-area yoga studio built around connection, accessibility, and heart-led service.
