367: The Quest to Build a Culture That Rocks with Arnie Malham

by

How someone could create something called the Better Book Club and it not be on my radar is crazy. Especially considering they’re in my own backyard of Nashville, Tennessee!

Thankfully, I have friends. I know strange, right? One of them is a guy named Dave Delaney.

Thanks to Dave, I’m no longer a stranger to the Better Book Club. More importantly, I’m no longer a stranger to the man who created it. His name is Arnie Malham.

And now, thanks to the magic of technology, I get to make sure he’s someone who know as well. You’re welcome!

Arnie’s book, Worth Doing Wrong: The Quest to Build a Culture That Rocks was released in 2016 and is one of my all-time favorite books on the topic of culture.

In it, Arnie covers executable strategies and real-world tactics for creating a culture that will help you smash you business goals, achieve win-win relationships with your clients, generate buzz in your community, and cultivate a workplace that you and your team members will love.

While last week’s guest (Jon Acuff) made his fourth appearance, today’s guest is making her first, and not likely her last if I have anything to say about it.

I’m talking about Michael Hyatt & Co’s new CEO, Megan Hyatt Miller.

She’s just co-authored a book with her father and two-time Read to Lead guest Michael Hyatt called Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself From the Cult of Overwork.

In the book, Megan and Michael address things like how COVID changed their company for the better, why we overwork, and five questions to ask yourself to jumpstart your life, among other issues.

If you didn’t think it was possible to multiply your revenues while, at the same time, slashing your hours, think again. Megan and Michael’s new book shows you how.

363: The Common Path to Uncommon Success with John Lee Dumas

by

On the day Read to Lead was launched back in July of 2013, I had prepared three interview episodes to release on that day.

One of those interviews was with a guy who makes his first visit back in nearly 8 years. His name is John Lee Dumas, and if you’ve enjoyed listening to podcasts for any length of time, you’ve no doubt heard his name.

Since 2012, John has released over 3000 episodes of the award-winning Entrepreneurs on Fire, interviewing some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. In fact, for nearly the first 6 years, he released an episode every day of the week!

He’s earned millions helping others do the same with membership sites, courses, mastermind groups, and more.

His new book is called The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, and it’s been hailed as the modern-day version of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.

361: 12 Indispensable Success Secrets from the Hype Handbook with Michael F. Schein

by

Several years ago, I had the pleasure of participating in a lively discussion at the New York Public Library on the topic of podcasting.

On the panel with me were two other podcasters, one of whom has since written a book, and an incredibly stimulating book it turned out to be.

When the organizer of that event recently reintroduced us, I knew I had to have him on the show.

His name is Michael F. Schein and his new book, released in January, is called The Hype Handbook: 12 Indispensable Success Secrets From the World’s Greatest Propagandists, Self-Promoters, Cult Leaders, Mischief Makers, and Boundry Breakers.

In short, Michael’s book suggests that if you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, artist, activist, or thinker who can honestly say that you are truly trying to make the world a better place, it is your moral imperative to learn how to harness raw emotion and irrational thinking to your benefit.

If you’re uncomfortable promoting you and your own work but, deep down, know you need to, get this book now!

354: How to Stay on Top Forever with the Help of Today’s Tech Titans

by

A lot has been written about the big five. I’m talking about the giants of tech. You know who they are: Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

Much of what’s been written about them has not been positive. Four of the five are currently under investigation for nefarious practices. But if you’ve decided there’s nothing they can teach you about running a successful business, well, then you’d be dead wrong.

This idea is at the heart of a new book written by journalist Alex Kantrowitz. It’s called Always Day One: How the Tech Titans Plan to Stay on Top Forever.

Through 130 interviews, from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to hourly workers past and present, Alex reveals the blueprint for success in a world where no advantage is safe.
