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

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.

390: The Magnetic Leader with Chris McClure

Three years ago, I had the pleasure to take the stage and address over 450 authors at the annual Igniting Souls Conference organized by Kary Oberbrunner, a two-time Read to Lead guest.

One of the authors in the audience was an executive coach by the name of Chris McClure. Chris and I hit it off and have kept in contact ever since.

So, when he released his latest book, I knew that I needed to get him on the show. That day has finally come.

Chris’s new book is called The Magnetic Leader: 18 Essential Actions of Leaders People Love to Follow.

Chris says leaders who are able to build a better future are desperately needed in our world today. We need more leaders worth following. If you are ready to become the kind of leader who draws people together, brings out their personal best, and creates truly rare results, this episode is for you.

389: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short Term World with Dorie Clark

My guest today is making her third appearance on the podcast. That’s, in part, because I think she’s one of the best writers around. As I say in today’s episode: when I first hear she’s got something new coming out, I always look forward to it (and I’ve never been disappointed).

dorie clark

I’m talking, of course, about Dorie Clark. She’s a consultant and keynote speaker who teaches executive education at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business.

In her new book titled The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short Term World, Dorie says much of the pressure in our culture pushes us toward doing what is easy, what’s guaranteed, or what looks glamorous in the moment.

Dorie argues for doing small things over time to achieve our goals – and being willing to keep at them, even when they seem pointless, boring, or hard.

I’ve loved every one of her books, including this one, and I think you will too.

388: How to Build a Profitable Business in Any Economy with John Meese

I am blessed with a number of super-talented friends and colleagues, many of whom live in and around the middle Tennesse area where I am from.

john meese

One of those is a young man whom I’ve had the pleasure to know for several years. I call him ‘young man’ because, in his case, it’s one of those rare instances (for now at least) where I am old enough to be my guest’s father.

I’m talking about John Meese, CEO of Cowork.Inc, Co-founder of Notable, host of the Thrive School podcast, and now, author of Survive and Thrive: How to Build a Profitable Business in Any Economy (Including This One).

When COVID-19 became a global pandemic, somebody hit a reset button on the economy. Literally. Economists have begun referring to the 2020 event as the Great Reset as lockdowns and health scares caused dramatic shifts in the business and economic landscape across the world.

In Survive and Thrive, you’ll learn what this reset means for your world and your place in the economy as you build (or rebuild) a business in 2020 and beyond.
