495: Turning the Power of Mindset Into Action with Eduardo Briceño

493: The Inner Journey of Leadership with Dan Rockwell

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

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 […]
