🚨 Lesson Learned 🚨 Starting a business is a journey full of sacrifices, but sometimes we overlook the sacrifices our loved ones make alongside us. 💡 From James Kademan's The Bold Business Book: "At the time, I naively thought I was the one doing all the sacrificing. But in reality, what would I sacrifice if I knew I would be successful? I was sacrificing time with my family without even asking permission." This reflection is a powerful reminder to balance ambition with gratitude for those who support us. 🙏 Want more lessons like this?

🎧 As an audio learner, I devour books through my ears, thanks to audiobooks and podcasts. This summer, I kicked off my "reading" with the fantastic "Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling" by Eric Nuzum. This book dives into the art of podcasting in a way that's a feast for both creators and listeners. Here are some juicy bits: 🔊 Why We Listen: Nuzum explores the “why” behind our podcast addiction. Are we tuning in to be inspired? To learn? Or just to escape folding laundry? Understanding this can turn a good podcast into a great one. 🎙️ Defining the Unique Concept: Nuzum’s rule—describe your podcast in ten words or less—made me rethink my favorite shows. The ones that stick with me always have a crystal-clear, snappy premise that screams their value from the get-go. 📜 Timeless Storytelling Rules: Great storytelling is podcast gold. The best shows are clear, compelling, and never overly obvious, making them both fresh and deeply engaging.This book has supercharged my love for podcasting and audio storytelling. Huge thanks to Billy Samoa Saleebey for the top-notch recommendation! #MakeNoise #AudioLearner #Podcasting

One of the things that has helped me the most in the last 12-15 years of my career is continually learning new stuff while I drive. I drive around a lot, and what used to be wasted time I started using to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. I’ll start sharing some of the podcasts and books that have impacted me the most. Hopefully you try one of them and impacts you as well. One great Podcast: How I built this - Guy Raz interviews many famous founders who tell their stories and share their early struggles when their companies started. Stories from companies like Spanx, Instagram, Jet Blue, Home Depot, etc. The stories helped me to understand my entrepreneurial journey through the eyes of incredibly successful people. Most important lesson: Struggle is part of the process. One great book: Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell He explores the how and why of success in a very logical way. More to come…#enjoytheprocess
