394: Take Your Life Back From Your Business with Dr. Sabrina Starling

I first had the chance to meet today’s guest in person several years ago in Philadelphia while attending the Podcast Movement conference.

My friend, and former podcast guest, Vincent Pugliese, invited me to a lunch attended by the one and only Dr. Sabrina Starling.

I was fortunate enough to be seated right next to her and learned of her work with Mike Michalowicz (another former guest) and Profit First.

I was immediately impressed with her work history and what she was doing to help the lives of entrepreneurs. So, when the chance to bring her into the Read to Lead spotlight opened up with the release of her new book, it was a no-brainer.

One person who I have never before connected, though, is author and speaker Christy Wright. Thankfully for you and me, that changes today!

Christy’s new book follows her 200,000-selling debut, Business Boutique: A Woman’s Guide for Making Money Doing What She Loves. It’s called Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance.

Over the years, Christy has discovered that life balance doesn’t come from getting more done. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time – and it leads to peace, not exhaustion.

365: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking with Jon Acuff

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!
