I’d heard the name before. In fact, we are even “connected” – whatever that means – on several social media platforms.
But, when former Read to Lead guest Kary Oberbrunner asked if I’d like an introduction to Skip Prichard, I said “absolutely!” I mean, I knew Skip, but I didn’t really KNOW him.
That introduction led to Skip and I chatting about his latest book and a potential spot on the show. You and I are the beneficiaries of that generous introduction by Kary. Skip’s book has quickly become a favorite of mine.
It’s a business parable, a la Pat Lencioni, Og Mandino, Bob Burg, Andy Andrews or Mark Schinnerer. And, it’s one of my favorite business parables in some time. I absolutely loved it and I think you will too. It comes out today and is called The Book of Mistakes: 9 Secrets to Creating a Successful Future.
The book takes you on a rather inspiring journey that follows an ancient manuscript with powerful lessons inside; lessons that will transform your life.
I hope you sit in with us as we discuss Skip’s book together.

- What to do if you realize you’re living someone else’s dream (and it’s not too late to make a change)
- How to stand out and why he believes it’s the fastest path to success
- Why you should assume your potential for success is unlimited
- …and plenty more!
