272: The Daily Decision That Changes Everything

With Start With Your People author Brian Dixon

by

I’ve known today’s guest for a number of years. I actually can’t remember where and how we first met.

But one thing that has stuck with me over the years is how, every time I see him, I always end up walking away with so much more clarity toward my life and business.

This mystery person’s name is Brian Dixon, and I couldn’t be happy to be welcoming him to the show today.

Brian’s new book is called Start With Your People: The Daily Decision That Changes Everything. It is so new that it’s not even out yet at the time this post is being published.

You can, however, pre-order the book now and receive it the day it releases (Sept. 10, 2019)!

Episode #174: How to Energize People Every Day

With Kristi Hedges, author of The Inspiration Code

by

Today’s guest first came on the scene with the release of her first book back in 2011.

Her name is Kristi Hedges, and that book was The Power of Presence: Unlock Your Potential to Influence and Engage Others. The book experienced a bit of an inflection point in 2014 and Kristi’s career has been a whirlwind ever since.

Kristi’s new book is titled The Inspiration Code: How the Best Leaders Energize People Every Day. In it, Kristi reveals the surprising, everyday actions that any leader can take to be an inspiring and motivating force.

Episode #164: Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose

With Quarter-Life Calling author Paul Sohn

by

My guest today, despite his relatively young age, is a leadership expert. I should know. I’ve been following his work for several years and he never ceases to amaze me with his consistent and excellent work. 

His name is Paul Sohn and it’s one I believe you need to get to know.

A little over a year ago, Paul self-published a book called Quarter-Life Calling. I was actually a part of his “launch team,” helping to get the word out about the book among my followers. Paul and I even talked about him being on the show back then, but weren’t able to work it out schedule-wise. Turns out, that was for the better.

His success with self-publishing and creating buzz around the book caught the attention of a literary agent who ended up shopping the book around to traditional publishers with one eventually signing him to a deal.

Fast-forward a year and here we are. A new-and-improved version of Paul’s book (with 7,000 more words) is about to hit the bookshelves (April 4).

Even if you’re, say, like me and more like Quarter-Life times two, certainly you know someone who this book would be ideal for. For me, that’s my 22-year-old nephew.

Do yourself a favor and check out my conversation with Paul below.
