391: Take Back Your Time the Guilt-Free Way with Christy Wright

by

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing a number of the personalities and authors who are a part of Ramsey Solutions, the organization founded and run by personal finance guru Dave Ramsey.

One person who I have never before connected, though, is author and speaker Christy Wright. Thankfully for you and me, that changes today!

Christy’s new book follows her 200,000-selling debut, Business Boutique: A Woman’s Guide for Making Money Doing What She Loves. It’s called Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance.

Over the years, Christy has discovered that life balance doesn’t come from getting more done. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time – and it leads to peace, not exhaustion.

374: Staying Engaged and Connected While Working from Anywhere with Kevin Eikenberry

by

When you listen to today’s episode, you’ll hear me reference my guest’s appearance as his first, along with how I should have had him on to talk about his last book, and “why has it taken me so long” to get around to having him on.

Kevin Eikenberry

Well, either I’m getting old or the pandemic has fried my brain (“both” is also a strong possibility) because I have indeed had this gentleman on the show before back in episode #226.

Can you say “Egg on face much, Jeff?”

Furthermore, Kevin Eikenberry doesn’t remember visiting the show before either or, more likely, chose not to risk embarrassing me by mentioning it.

At any rate, now that I’ve managed to pull both feet from my mouth, Kevin, and his co-author Wayne Turmel’s latest book is called, The Long-Distance Teammate: Stay Engaged and Connected While Working Anywhere.

The book tackles the most important issues presented by long-distance teamwork. In it, you’ll learn the mindset, skillset, and habits you need to be a successful, engaged, and valued long-distance contributor.

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.
