519: The Practice and Shipping Creative Work with Seth Godin (an Encore Presentation of Episode 344)

by

If I had to make the difficult choice of selecting just 20 books to access for the remainder of my life, I could do a lot worse than the 20 written so far by today’s special guest.

Seth Godin is special to me for a lot of reasons; not the least of which is he is almost singlehandedly responsible for helping rekindle my love of reading.

In fact, you could go so far as to say that, without Seth Godin, there’s a real good chance the last seven-plus years of my life would have been spent doing something else.

But thanks to his book Purple Cow, I’m here instead. And the beauty of that is, so are you.

Seth’s latest book, released last week, is called The Practice: Shipping Creative Work, and I am thrilled to dive into it in this episode with Seth and with you.

504: Speak Up or Stay Stuck with Pam Marmon

by

Today’s guest is making her second appearance on the podcast. Her first was back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. That book, called No One’s Listening and It’s Your Fault was geared to leaders.

Her new book is intended for managers and employees. It’s all about navigating the inevitable periods of change within an organization. It’s called Speak Up or Stay Stuck: Get Your Voice Heard When Fast and Forced Change Happens In the Workplace.

Your company is changing, Pam says, whether you like it or not. As a manager, you are expected to make that transformation happen, yet you feel voiceless, unseen, and unrepresented.

Change is not the enemy. It’s inevitable and it could be the key to your success. In Speak Up or Stay Stuck, Pam unpacks a practical framework for implementing organizational change while ensuring your voice is heard. Finally: the key to amplifying your message without jeopardizing your job.

You’ll discover how to communicate with senior leaders while effectively advocating for yourself and your team. Reclaim control and ownership of your work, grow your organizational change resilience, and find new ways to thrive when fast and forced change hits your workplace.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Pam and her work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

453: How to Trade Shame, Guilt, and Fear for a More Fulfilling Life with Neal Samudre

by

Today’s guest has been a friend for several years. I was incredibly excited to learn a couple of years ago that he was working on a book. In fact, we even share the same literary agent.

Neal Samudre

That friend is Neal Samudre, and that book is about to become a reality (January 3, 2023).

It’s co-written with his wife, Carly, and is called Start From Joy: Trade Shame, Guilt, and Fear for Lasting Change, a Lighter Spirit, and a More Fulfilling Life.

Neal and Carly Samudre believe that joy is what’s missing from our ability to make lasting change in our lives.

Building on biblical insights and the latest findings in positive psychology, their new book outlines an emotionally healthy approach to change―one where joy leads the way.

This doesn’t mean we choose happiness, become blindly optimistic, or force ourselves to have a positive mindset. Instead, we discover that real, lasting transformation can come free of shame, guilt, and fear.

It can be fun.

311: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself

With You've Got This author Margie Warrell

by

Today’s guest is one of my favorite people to interview. She always brings her A-game.

This marks her third appearance on the podcast, and for good reason.

She brings her A-game to all her books as well. Her name is Margie Warrell and her latest is a book called You’ve Got This: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself.

Margie asserts that we all have moments when we succumb to doubt and let our fears call the shots. Each time they do, we limit our lives.

It’s why learning to trust in ourselves is crucial to rising above our biggest challenges and enjoying true happiness and success ― in our careers, relationships, leadership, and life.

When we trust ourselves to handle anything, it liberates us for everything.
