Episode #069: Author Kimanzi Constable Asks Are You Living or Existing?

by

Kimanzi ConstableIn 2011, Kimanzi Constable was $180K in debt, his marriage was falling apart and his children barely knew him.

Oh, and the icing on the cake? He was 170lbs overweight.

Skip ahead less than four years later, and he’s an entrepreneur and author, having recently pulled up stakes in Milwaukee, WI and moved to Maui, Hawaii!

He now writes for Entrepreneur Magazine, The Huffington Post and the Good Men Project, among others, and his latest book is called Are You Living or Existing? 9 Steps to Change You Life.

Did I mention he recently revealed on his blog that he dropped out of high school before returning to get his GED? And your excuse again is what?

Episode #068: Hal Elrod Shares How Changing Your Mornings Can Rock Your Life

by

Hal ElrodI have heard the name Hal Elrod so many times in the last few weeks, I’ve actually lost count.

So much so that I decided I had to find out what all the fuss is about.

Simply put, he’s written a book that has done what many books are unable to do: convince you to change the habits that aren’t benefitting you and replacing them with a specific morning routine, customizable to you, that will prepare you – better than anything I’ve experienced – to sustain what Hal calls Level 10 Success.

That book is called The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life Before 8am.

Episode #067: Dan Miller, author, 48 Days to the Work You Love (10th Anniversary Revised and Expanded Edition)

by

Dan MillerYou may recall that Dan Miller was the first ever author to appear on the Read to Lead Podcast.

Episode #067 marks his return; this time to discuss his first book (which is also his latest). In the 10th Anniversary Edition of 48 Days to the Work You Love, there’s plenty of new material, including new chapters. After all, a lot has happened within the world of work the last 10 years.

Think about it. 10 years ago, Podcasting (along with Facebook) was in its infancy, the entire economy we now know as smartphone apps didn’t yet exist, nor did YouTube, Twitter or Instagram. Think about those that have started new companies with the help of sites like Kickstarter. Not even possible in 2004.

Needless to say, a lot has changed. In the new edition, Dan addresses those issues and more.

Episode #066: Seth Godin Shares Wisdom from His New Book: What to do When it’s Your Turn

by

Seth GodinYou might have to pinch me because, as hard as it is for me to believe, Seth Godin is indeed appearing on the podcast today.

He is easily my favorite business book author of all time and to have him here is nothing short of a thrill for me.

Seth is the author of 17 bestsellers (soon to be 18 no doubt) that have been translated into 35 languages. He’s the founder of several companies, a member of the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame and an influential speaker around the world.

He writes about treating people with respect, the changing economy and ideas that spread. Mostly, he creates projects, many of which end up failing.

Episode #064: Multiply Your Time by Procrastinating on Purpose with Rory Vaden

by

Rory VadenToday my guest is Rory Vaden, New York Times bestselling author of Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success.

His new book is Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time.

Unlike most productivity books, this one is not based around tips and tricks, tools and technology, or calendars and checklists.

For example, you will not read techniques like: create a schedule every week, determine your priorities, take a break every few minutes, do the hardest thing first, turn off your email while you are working on your computer, or any of the other “tired” techniques that nearly every article or book on “time-management” refer to.

Instead, you will read about the fascinating dynamics of how human emotions such as guilt, fear, pressure, and worry drive our decisions of how to spend our time each day. Most of all, you’ll learn how to manage those emotions to make different decisions about how to use your time. This book isn’t about what to do with your time; it’s about how to think differently about time.
