338: 48 Days to the Work (and Life) You Love with Dan Miller

I mean it when I say that today’s guest is easily one of my favorite authors in the world.

But even more important than that, he’s become one of my friends and one of my mentors (AND, one of my favorite people on the planet).

Dan Miller

I’m talking of course about New York Times bestselling author Dan Miller. Dan is keeping his promise of updating – every five years – the book that started it all.

That book is the 20th-anniversary edition of 48 Days to the Work (and Life) You Love: Find It – Or Create It.

I encourage you to not only pick up a copy of his book for yourself but anyone else you know who could benefit from reading it.

Especially if Personal and Professional Growth are a Priority

joggerToday, I’m delighted to bring to you the 5 podcasts I believe you must listen to if personal and professional growth are important to you.

So, in no particular order, here are five podcasts I strongly believe to be worthy of your time especially if you consider personal and professional growth a priority.

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

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

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.
