298: Master Your Code with Darren J. Gold

A few weeks ago, I summarized what I considered to be my favorite book of the year. That book is The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek.

With respect to Simon, after reading the book by this week’s guest, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d made that declaration too soon.

Darren J Gold

Suffice it to say, Darren J. Gold has written a book you need to go out and buy as fast as you can.

It’s called Master Your Code: The Art, Wisdom, and Science of Leading an Extraordinary Life.

This book is one that, according to former Home Depot chairman and CEO, Frank Blake, is a “must-read for anyone interested in leadership and human potential.”

If it’s a life of joy, fulfillment, and happiness you desire (and who doesn’t) then make sure you listen to this conversation.

266: 6 Energy Habits to Master the Business Travel Life

With author Bryan Paul Buckley

I first met today’s guest just less than three years ago at a podcast conference taking place, that year at least, in Chicago.

His name was Bryan Buckley, and he was as energetic a 40-something guy as I’ve ever met. Lucky for me, Chicago is his hometown. Otherwise, who knows if we would have met that day.

I’m so glad we did (thank you Mike Kim). That meeting has blossomed into a friendship. Bryan invited me to speak at his online conference he held a couple of years ago.

We met up again at another conference last year in Nashville (Michael Hyatt’s Achieve Conference) and the friendship deepened (it didn’t hurt that Bryan treated me to an excellent steak dinner). 🙂

As you can imagine, I was delighted then when I heard he was working on a book. That new book is out now and is called Elite Road Warrior: Six Energy Habits to Master the Business Travel Life.

If you travel for work 40 plus nights a year, you’ll find his book to be extremely valuable, especially if you’re attempting to take back control of your personal and professional life, and your physical and mental health.

If that’s you, read this book now!
