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.

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.

363: The Common Path to Uncommon Success with John Lee Dumas

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.

316: Could You Survive Shark Tank?

One of my favorite things about creating content on a regular basis is the people I’m able to meet along the way.

Often times, those people I meet and I become friends. Occasionally, I get to invite those friends onto the show.

Such is the case with today’s guest, Pierce Marrs.

Pierce has been hosting his own podcast longer than I have and, in it, covers the ins and outs of a popular TV show called Shark Tank.

His new book, written from his experiences covering the show for so long and interviewing many of the show’s guest business owners as well as the Sharks, is called Could You Survive Shark Tank?: The Sharks’ Top 7 Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer.

Get the answers to these seven questions down, and your business is all but guaranteed to succeed.

312: The Vision-Driven Leader with Michael Hyatt

As I say in today’s podcast, I buy this author’s books before I even know what they’re about.

There are only a few of these kinds of authors on my list, but Michael Hyatt is one of them.

His latest effort is a book called The Vision Driven Leader: 10 Question to Focus Your Efforts, Energize Your Team, and Scale Your Business.

It is, in my estimation, a book that EVERY leader needs to read, especially now, what with all that is going on in our world today (I’m looking at you COVID-19).

As Michael writes in the book, “…a mission defines what a business is, a vision describes where it’s going. Mission is here; vision is still out there. Mission is now; vision is next.”

The Vision Driven Leader takes you step-by-step from why to what and then how.

Your business will never be the same.
