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.

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!

340: The Bridge From Your Dreams to Your Destiny with Mark Victor Hansen

by

Today, I owe a special thanks to Dov Gordon and Steve Sponseller.

Together, these two gentlemen made it possible for me to connect with the prolific author I have the privilege of bringing to you today

That author is none other than the co-creator (along with Jack Canfield) of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books, Mark Victor Hansen; a series that has surpassed a half-billion books sold!

Today, I’m talking with Mark about a book he released earlier this year titled Ask: The Bridge From Your Dreams to Your Destiny.

You were born with a destiny, Mark says. Your job is to discover it. Once you begin to practice the art and science of asking to discover your destiny and start to move toward it, you can manifest innumerable blessings for yourself and others.

This isn’t a complicated process; in fact, it’s a simple gift that lies dormant within you. Once you learn to access that gift, everything changes for the better. Ask! will help you access your hidden dreams and reveal them to be recognized and fulfilled in miraculous ways.

You matter. The world needs you to find your destiny and live it. This book is your guide. Start crossing the bridge to your destiny today!

329: 3 Steps to Create a Life Full of ENERGY and Live Your Best Every Day

by

When CNN affectionately refers to you as the “female Jerry Maguire,” people pay attention. And as well they should.

Her name is Molly Fletcher and she is a trailblazer in every sense of the word – a rare talent of business wisdom, relationship brilliance, and unwavering optimism.

She has also authored five books, with her latest being a book called The Energy Clock: 3 Simple Steps to Create a Life Full of ENERGY and Live Your Best Every Day.

As a popular keynote speaker, she shares the unconventional techniques that helped her thrive as one of the first female sports agents in the high-stakes, big-ego world of professional sports and, now, as a successful entrepreneur.

I learned, among other things, that color-coding my calendar/planner can actually make a huge difference in my already solid system. It was the missing piece, in fact, that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Thanks, Molly!

319: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 30th Anniversary Edition

With author Stephen M. R. Covey

by

What an honor it is to be asked to participate in the launch of the 30th Anniversary Edition of the #1 business book of the 20th century!

And what a treat it is to talk to the son and namesake of the author himself, Mr. Stephen M. R. Covey.

I can honestly say, if the Read to Lead Podcast were to come to an end after today, I would be at complete peace with that.

Why? Because today I am privileged to conduct what is arguably the single most important interview of my 30+ year career.

Not only is Stephen M. R. Covey an accomplished author in his own right (with a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling book under his belt), but he’s agreed to field a handful of questions from a handful of those impacted by his father’s book over the years.

By “those impacted” I’m talking about you! That’s right. Every question I’m posing to Stephen was submitted by a listener to the podcast.

Of course, the book I’m referring to is called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: 30th Anniversary Edition.

This is a ‘can’t miss’ conversation!

318: 5 Steps to Kill Busyness with Garland Vance

Author of Gettin' (un)Busy

by

A couple of years ago, I had the tremendous opportunity to speak at a conference attended by about 500 authors from around the world.

One member of that audience was a man named Garland Vance.

According to Garland, he decided right then and there that, once his book was finished, he would make it his goal to appear on the Read to Lead Podcast.

Well, here we are. It is my pleasure to welcome Garland to Read to Lead and it’s an absolute treat to tell you with 100% sincerity that Garland’s book is one of the best I’ve ever read on purpose and productivity.

It’s that good.

It’s called Gettin’ (un)Busy: The 5 Steps to Kill Busyness and Live with Purpose, Productivity, and Peace.

It is possible for you to be highly productive AND un-busy at the same time. Garland shows you how.
