For this episode, David is joined by Nick Hutchison, who is the visionary force behind Book Thinkers. He helps authors to connect with their readership, and really get their message out there. But, today, Nick and David discuss how to stop just consuming information and instead take action. Reading the right book at the right time really can change your life.

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together, and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
