I love books. I love to read and I know that many of you do too. This week we're going to have a simple, fun episode where we talk about our favorite books. I will be sharing five books that I think people might enjoy reading for inspiration or pleasure and our good friend Taylor Pearson will be sharing five timeless business books that he believes are worth reading more than once. If you are looking for new stuff to read, this is the episode for you.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • A huge list of unique and surprising books that we believe anyone could learn from.

  • One of our favorite books about how to manage your own psychology.

  • The three core components of business and some great authors that are writing about them.

  • The best books to read if you are developing individual and team-based sales strategies.

  • Some of our very favorite books to re-visit year after year.

  • What we are both reading right now.
