366: Win at Work and Succeed at Life with Megan Hyatt Miller

by

While last week’s guest (Jon Acuff) made his fourth appearance, today’s guest is making her first, and not likely her last if I have anything to say about it.

I’m talking about Michael Hyatt & Co’s new CEO, Megan Hyatt Miller.

She’s just co-authored a book with her father and two-time Read to Lead guest Michael Hyatt called Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself From the Cult of Overwork.

The book releases on April 20th but is available for pre-order now. And, you’ll get access to some AMAZING bonuses worth several hundred, to several thousand dollars, when you pre-order it, so don’t wait!

In the book, Megan and Michael address things like how COVID changed their company for the better, why we overwork, and five questions to ask yourself to jumpstart your life, among other issues.

If you didn’t think it was possible to multiply your revenues while, at the same time, slashing your hours, think again. Megan and Michael’s new book shows you how.

365: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking with Jon Acuff

by

Today’s guest makes his fourth visit to the podcast. That puts him in very elite company. Jon Acuff joins Jeff Goins and Todd Henry as the only guests to have appeared as many times.

If you think that must mean I like his work, well, you’d be right. Previous books I’ve featured from Jon include:

Start, Do Over, and Finish, all three excellent books, and Soundtracks is no exception.

Jon says that “Overthinking is when what you think gets in the way of what you want.” Jon says the solution to overthinking isn’t to stop thinking but to change the soundtrack to something better – more positive, more encouraging, and ultimately, more productive. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals.

Get the book that Seth Godin calls, “A simple, powerful, and generous book, one that you’ll remember every day for the rest of your life.” Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking, is out now!

343: The Self-Evolved Leader with Dave McKeown

by

I must confess: sometimes I’m just late to the party.

You might say that’s the case for the book and author I’m featuring today.

Okay, so the book is less than a year old, but I have to admit the publicist representing today’s guest first reached out to me last December! They’re a patient lot.

My guest today is Dave McKeown and he’s written an excellent book titled The Self-Evolved Leader: Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down.

Dave’s book is a practical guide to help you as a C-suite executive and leader “resist the pull of the urgent” so you can focus on the direction of your team, your people, and your shared goals.

342: Close the Gap Between Dreaming and Doing with Kary Oberbrunner

by

It is a rare moment when I’m able to present to you a guest who’s been on the show once before.

It’s even rarer when that guest has already been on the show twice before.

kary oberbrunner

That’s right! Today, I’m excited to welcome Kary Oberbrunner to Read to Lead for the third time. He has a brand new book out, released just this past Saturday.

It’s called Unhackable: The 30-Day Elixir for Creating Flawless Ideas, Leveraging Superhuman Focus, and Achieving Optimal Performance Thorugh Flow, and I consider it to be his best book yet.

The truth is, Kary says, you’re getting hacked every day, and you don’t even know it. First your productivity plummets, morale declines, and your dream gets sidelined and sabotaged – yet again.

Unless…you’re UNHACKABLE!
