A couple of years ago, I had the tremendous opportunity to speak at a conference attended by about 500 authors from around the world.

One member of that audience was a man named Garland Vance.

According to Garland, he decided right then and there that, once his book was finished, he would make it his goal to appear on the Read to Lead Podcast.

Well, here we are. It is my pleasure to welcome Garland to Read to Lead and it’s an absolute treat to tell you with 100% sincerity that Garland’s book is one of the best I’ve ever read on purpose and productivity.

It’s that good.

It’s called Gettin’ (un)Busy: The 5 Steps to Kill Busyness and Live with Purpose, Productivity, and Peace.

It is possible for you to be highly productive AND un-busy at the same time. Garland shows you how.
