'Become The Man Women Want'

Mate - by Tucker Max and Geoffrey Miller

Sorry ladies, this one is probably more for the blokes. Unlike the book we did 'The Game' which involved manipulation and mind games, this is more about becoming a good bloke that women are naturally attracted to. It's about improving yourself in all areas of your life, like your physical health, mental health, willpower and intelligence, and then indirectly signalling to women that you're an effective man that will be a good partner. The book goes through the 5-step plan to help you achieve your mating goals.

Think and Grow Rich Jul 29, 2017

Show notes

Think and Grow Rich - by Napoleon Hill

One of the best selling books of all time, this 1937 classic has stood the test of time. Whilst some of the specifics have changed, and some of the world views of the aren't so politically correct any more, the underlying principles are still applicable today.

This book covers '13 Principles', including thoughts, belief, desire, decision, persistence, specialised knowledge, organised planning, and fear.

Purple Cow Jul 22, 2017

Show notes

Purple Cow - by Seth Godin

'Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable'

We love Seth Godin so it's time to do another Seth book. The premise of the book is that the old way to build a business (making safe, average products and then marketing them by buying as much TV advertising you can afford) is no longer effective. Instead, we need to make remarkable products that customers will tell other people about. The idea is that a brown cow isn't worth telling someone about, but a purple cow... that's remarkable, that's worth talking about.

Seth Godin Jul 18, 2017

Show notes

We got the opportunity to speak with our absolute idol, Seth Godin. The author of so many amazing books that we've reviewed in the past, like The Dip, Tribes and Purple Cow, and plenty that we will review in the future, like Linchpin, The Icarus Deception, Poke The Box and What To Do When It's Your Turn.

Seth was an internet marketer and essentially invented commercial email. He built Yoyodyne and sold it to Yahoo for ~$30m and then built Squidoo. Now, he's a teacher and teaches by writing books, blogging every day and creating online courses.

In this conversation, we talk about freedom, dreams, fear, marketing, business and books.

If you get in early enough, you can sign up to his newest online course at www.themarketingseminar.com. Otherwise, type 'seth' into google and you'll be able to find his daily blog and all of his books. You won't be disappointed.

JP Sears Jul 11, 2017

Show notes

Our interview with the viral social media megastar JP Sears.

After years working as a private emotional healing coach, JP started making videos to promote himself and his services. But after 18 months of 'serious' videos, he started making some satirical and comedic videos. They blew up the internet. You might have seen his videos about taking good yoga instagram photos, competitive spirituality, essential oils, or 'if meat eaters acted like vegans'. He's had 100s of millions of views on his videos.

Our interview with Patti Sanchez, co-author of the book we reviewed this week, 'Illuminate: Ignite Change Through Speeches, Stories, Ceremonies and Symbols'.

Patti was good fun and it seems like everything she says is structure in a powerful story arc that is intriguing and captivating. Patti shows us how everyone can benefit from the tools and techniques highlighted in her book 'Illuminate' and how we can put them in to action in every day life.
