496: Build a Team, Stay Focused, and Make Better Decisions with David Dodson Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

I’ve had the chance to interview a number of professor/authors in the past. Today’s guest is both of those things, but with decades of experience as a CEO and entrepreneur to boot. He is Stanford Graduate School of Business professor David Dodson. His new book is called The Manager’s Handbook: Five Simple Steps to Build […]

495: Turning the Power of Mindset Into Action with Eduardo Briceño Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

When the topic of the book your writing centers around mindset, and the one and only Carol Dweck (author of Mindset: The Psychology of Success) gives it a glowing endorsement, then yours is a book worth paying attention to. Such is the case for my guest today, Eduardo Briceño. His new book, out now, is […]

It’s probably no surprise to you that I appreciate effective communicators.

493: The Inner Journey of Leadership with Dan Rockwell Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Just about a month ago, I featured a business fable here on the show. Today, I am pleased to feature another. This one is cowritten by an author who’s appeared here before (John David Mann). However, my guest today is the other half of that co-author duo. His name is Dan Rockwell. If his name […]

492: Amazon, Walmart, and the Battle for Our Wallets with Jason Del Rey Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

I’m old enough to remember a book from over 30 years ago called, The Late Shift, a chronicling of the wars between David Letterman, Jay Leno, NBC, and who would eventually end up with the Tonight Show Crown. Our featured book this week reminds of that book in many ways. The difference, however is the […]

490: The Learn-It-All Leader with Damon Lembi Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

In today’s episode, I make a fairly dramatic statement. It’s a warning to those who may read this week’s featured book. I say, plainly, read it at your own risk. Why do I make such a statement? Because if you’re anything like me, you’ll immediately want to figure out a way to go work for […]

489: How to Work with (Almost) Anyone with Michael Bungay Stanier Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

This week’s guest wrote a book that is considered to be the best coaching book of the century. He and I spoke about that book here several years ago. His latest book is another winner in my view. His name is Michael Bungay Stanier and the book is How to Work with (Almost) Anyone. The […]

488: Always Make Your Future Bigger Than Your Past with Dan Miller Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

One of my favorite guests of all time, and one of my favorite humans in general, is joining me again for this episode. His fourth visit thus far. I’m talking, of course, about New York Times bestselling author, Dan Miller. His latest book, unconventional in that he made all the “wrong” choices during its creation, […]

487: Closing the Confidence Gap with Kelli Thompson Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Over the years, I’ve been exposed to a number of coach-written books. Many, though certainly nowhere near all, serve as little more than business cards or lead magnets to their coaching programs. Some are good, some are just okay. Few, however, would I consider to be as well-written and well-researched as the one I want […]
