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.

350: The Rise of an Iconic Brand with former Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Robert Rosenberg

by

I can’t imagine anyone having more to say about how to take your company to new heights than a 35-year former CEO of one of the world’s most iconic brands.

That brand is the one an only Dunkin’ Donuts.

And that CEO? Robert Rosenberg. He served in that role from 1963 to 1998 and, during his tenure, took the company from $10 million in sales to over $2 billion, with more than 3,000 outlets!

This year, expanding any business or dream can seem extra daunting. So, who better to hear from than a leader who grew a regional company into a global multibillion-dollar brand despite a past economic downturn, near bankruptcy, and constant change?

Robert shares a dozen of the biggest lessons he’s learned in his 35 years with Dunkin’ Donuts in his new book called Around the Corner to Around the World. In an amazingly inspiring story.
