298: Master Your Code with Darren J. Gold

by

A few weeks ago, I summarized what I considered to be my favorite book of the year. That book is The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek.

With respect to Simon, after reading the book by this week’s guest, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d made that declaration too soon.

Darren J Gold

Suffice it to say, Darren J. Gold has written a book you need to go out and buy as fast as you can.

It’s called Master Your Code: The Art, Wisdom, and Science of Leading an Extraordinary Life.

This book is one that, according to former Home Depot chairman and CEO, Frank Blake, is a “must-read for anyone interested in leadership and human potential.”

If it’s a life of joy, fulfillment, and happiness you desire (and who doesn’t) then make sure you listen to this conversation.

With Dr. Chuck Bamford, author of The Strategy Mindset 2.0

I love it when a guest from the past makes a return visit to the podcast. That’s a pretty good indication they brought plenty of value the first time around.

Today’s featured author is just such a guest! His name is Dr. Chuck Bamford, and he first appeared back in July 2015.

295: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek

An audio book summary

by

Some days I am fortunate to read a book that completely changes the way I think and view the world.

Today is one of those days and I am excited to tell you about it.

The book in question was the featured book in my online book club just last month. Even though I hadn’t approached the author about an interview, I didn’t want to let that stop me from sharing it with you.

I’m talking about Simon Sinek and his new book called The Infinite Game.

Simon was a guest of mine way back in Episode #043 when we chatted about one of his previous books called Leaders Eat Last.

I honestly believe his new book is one that should be read by every CEO, leader and rank and file employee.

294: Exceptional Presentation Delivery with Tim Pollard

Author of Mastering the Moment

by

Today’s guest, you might say, takes what he does very seriously.

Another way to say it might be that he’s a little extreme.

However, no one can deny that he is very good at what he does. That’s why I love talking to him so much.

His name is Tim Pollard and his new book is called Mastering the Moment: Perfecting the Skills and Processes of Exceptional Presentation Delivery.

Tim first appeared on Read to Lead to talk about The Compelling Communicator: Mastering the Art and Science of Exceptional Presentation Design.

I love his approach to delivering presentations (a topic about which I am very passionate). I ask a question about this topic of nearly every guest I interview. Today, it receives our focus.
