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.

355: Discovering the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work with Todd Henry

by

There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Todd Henry. He now holds the record for most appearances on the Read to Lead Podcast (at four).

He’s published five books over the last decade, the last four of which have been featured here on the show. The only reason he wasn’t invited on to discuss his first book is simply that Read to Lead didn’t yet exist.

To say I appreciate his work is a major understatement. You’d do yourself a disservice not to check out some of his previous work, including The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Louder Than Words, and Herding Tigers.

His newest book is called The Motivation Code: Discover the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work.

Todd’s book offers a new framework for understanding what motivates us and why. We don’t need to find the “perfect job” or have the “perfect life” to fulfill our potential. Instead, we can change how we show up in our lives every day – to make the work we do become the work we love.

After more than five years, I am excited to welcome back today’s guest for a second visit.

He’s written more than 70 books that have collectively sold millions of copies in dozens of languages.

I’m talking about Brian Tracy, author of Eat That Frog! which, alone has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

Today, we’re diving into his brand new book called Eat That Frog! For Students: 22 Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Excel in School.

Students of all ages struggle with how to manage their time. Encountering the necessity of time management for the first time, high schoolers juggle classes, extracurricular activities, jobs, internships, family responsibilities, and more. College brings even more freedom and less structure, making time management even more critical.

342: Close the Gap Between Dreaming and Doing with Kary Oberbrunner

by

It is a rare moment when I’m able to present to you a guest who’s been on the show once before.

It’s even rarer when that guest has already been on the show twice before.

kary oberbrunner

That’s right! Today, I’m excited to welcome Kary Oberbrunner to Read to Lead for the third time. He has a brand new book out, released just this past Saturday.

It’s called Unhackable: The 30-Day Elixir for Creating Flawless Ideas, Leveraging Superhuman Focus, and Achieving Optimal Performance Thorugh Flow, and I consider it to be his best book yet.

The truth is, Kary says, you’re getting hacked every day, and you don’t even know it. First your productivity plummets, morale declines, and your dream gets sidelined and sabotaged – yet again.

Unless…you’re UNHACKABLE!
