🎙 Episode 13: FROM BOOKSTACKS TO EARBUDS: HOW LEADERS KEEP GROWING
In this episode, we're flipping the script a little. This one's not about sales strategies or closing techniques. This one is about growth. Real, continuous, intentional growth.
Every month, I post my book stack, and without fail someone asks, "How do you read so much?" The truth is… I just built it into my life. I swap mindless TV for meaningful pages. I carry a book everywhere. I make space for learning like other people make space for Netflix.
But not everyone's a reader — and that's okay. In this episode, I share how podcasts can become your secret weapon for growth and why every true leader needs to be learning on purpose. Books build a foundation, but podcasts keep you current. They're where you'll find the "now," real-time evolution of ideas, innovation, and insight.
We'll talk about:
Why great leaders never stop learning
How to use podcasts as your portable mentorship library
The importance of staying relevant in a world that changes faster than a sales cycle
My personal "podcast besties" (and why Ed Mylett is my sage uncle and Mel Robbins is my coffee-date girlfriend)
How to actually connect with your favorite podcast hosts and become part of the conversation
Whether you're flipping pages, pressing play, or taking notes between client calls, this episode is your reminder that growth isn't optional... it's essential.
If you can't read, listen. If you can't listen long, listen faster. But whatever you do, keep learning. Because the moment you stop, you stop leading.
Let's grow.
