411: The Actions That Will Make AND Keep Your Family Rich with Chris Bystriansky

by

Few would argue there are many more lucrative options to building wealth than through real estate investing.

That’s the expertise of my guest today, Chris Bystriansky. But more than that, Chris has managed to instill the concepts of passive income through real estate into the brain of his six-year-old daughter, ensuring that she will likely never have to hold down a traditional J.O.B. at any point in her adult life.

They don’t teach this stuff in school.

Chris’s new book is called Renting From My Six-Year-Old: The Actions That Can Make AND Keep Your Family Rich. In it, he walks us through the path he took teaching the power of passive income to his daughter.

People I’ve shared the book with are already beginning to instill these ideas into the minds of their kids. Believe me when I say it’s pretty exciting once you begin to see them grasp the power of getting their money to work for them in truly powerful ways.

410: Creating the Most Persuasive Presentations of Your Life with Dan Roam

by

My guest today is someone I’ve learned a ton from when it comes to creating and delivering better presentations.

His name is Dan Roam. I was first impacted by his first book called The Back of the Napkin (links to his books below). Then, it was Show and Tell and Draw to Win. Later, I had the chance to see him present in person and even got to meet him afterward. He is incredibly gifted at what he does.

His new book, which was released in October of last year, is called The Pop-Up Pitch: The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life.

In it, Dan outlines a fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers, and anyone who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.

395: How Leading Organizations Blend the Digital and Physical with Robert E. Siegel

by

One of the perks of hosting a show like Read to Lead, of course, is the chance to sit down with some pretty incredible authors. And, sometimes, those same authors are lecturers at prestigious business schools.

In the past, I’ve had the chance for sit-downs with Dr. Richard Shell and Jonah Berger of the infamous Wharton Business School.

Today, we move across the continent to the other coast, as I chat with Robert Siegel, lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.

His work there includes teaching graduate and Executive Education classes and doing extensive research on such companies as Google, Schwab, AB InBev, Stripe, and SurveyMonkey. He’s also a partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firms XSeed Capital and Piva, and he sits on the boards of several startups.

His new book is called The Brains and Brawn Company: How Leading Organizations Blend the Best of the Digital and Physical.

Business leaders, according to Robert, are continually told they need to embrace digital disruption wholeheartedly to thrive in the 21st Century. Legacy companies, we’re told, are all doomed to fail unless they double down on the latest digital innovations, and disruptors are ordained to take over the world. Digital innovation is the answer to everything.

That’s not true, Robert says. Nothing in life or business is ever that simple. Wanna learn more?

394: Take Your Life Back From Your Business with Dr. Sabrina Starling

by

I first had the chance to meet today’s guest in person several years ago in Philadelphia while attending the Podcast Movement conference.

My friend, and former podcast guest, Vincent Pugliese, invited me to a lunch attended by the one and only Dr. Sabrina Starling.

I was fortunate enough to be seated right next to her and learned of her work with Mike Michalowicz (another former guest) and Profit First.

I was immediately impressed with her work history and what she was doing to help the lives of entrepreneurs. So, when the chance to bring her into the Read to Lead spotlight opened up with the release of her new book, it was a no-brainer.

388: How to Build a Profitable Business in Any Economy with John Meese

by

I am blessed with a number of super-talented friends and colleagues, many of whom live in and around the middle Tennesse area where I am from.

One of those is a young man whom I’ve had the pleasure to know for several years. I call him ‘young man’ because, in his case, it’s one of those rare instances (for now at least) where I am old enough to be my guest’s father.

I’m talking about John Meese, CEO of Cowork.Inc, Co-founder of Notable, host of the Thrive School podcast, and now, author of Survive and Thrive: How to Build a Profitable Business in Any Economy (Including This One).

When COVID-19 became a global pandemic, somebody hit a reset button on the economy. Literally. Economists have begun referring to the 2020 event as the Great Reset as lockdowns and health scares caused dramatic shifts in the business and economic landscape across the world.

In Survive and Thrive, you’ll learn what this reset means for your world and your place in the economy as you build (or rebuild) a business in 2020 and beyond.
