Bookworm

Bookworm is dedicated to doing more than just reading books. Mike Schmitz & Cory Hixson read a book every two weeks and discuss ways to apply the author’s lessons to their lives.

Latest Episodes:

39: The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney, Jim Huling, Sean Covey Dec 26, 2017

Show notes

This round we learn why Mike doesn’t care for this book. Joe picked it only because it’s been popular and it was a listener recommendation. But that doesn’t affect their ratings at all.

Your mindset can change how you respond to pretty much everything. The question is whether or not yours is a good one or a bad one. But there are also ways to change them, which is what Mike and Joe go over this week.

36: Paid to Think by David Goldsmith Oct 19, 2017

Show notes

It's time to tackle our latest textbook. It was a listener recommendation and has a lot to talk about. So we're glad this episode didn't end up being 5 hours long.

Show notes

Mike has a bone to pick with Joe on this one. Let's just say this was a very fun, passionate conversation about a book that turned out to be much different than expected.

This week Mike and Joe talk about money. And they talk about thinking about attracting money. We know. Complicated. But it rates well.

33: The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant by Terry Felber Aug 16, 2017

This show comes with a disclaimer as Mike and Joe talk about faith, the church, and business. There are fine lines and lots of opinions on all of these.

Show notes

This week Mike and Joe talk about the cognitive biases that they struggle with and the ones they are fascinated by. And it seems there are a lot of these. So picking a few is not as easy as it sounds.

Show notes

Saying No. It’s something neither Mike nor Joe enjoy doing but know they need to embrace. The question is whether or not they can bring themselves to do it.
