Books are a huge part of my life… and my business.

You might have noticed a hint of that from the fact that Making Good has a book club! In addition to the every Tuesday episodes that come out here on the podcast, on the fifteenth of every month we also have a Making Good Book Club episode, where we discuss a book we think can make an impact on your business, share our key takeaways, and then let you know what book we’re covering NEXT MONTH.

I’ve read a lot of books in the last couple of years. Not all of them changed things for me. But the ones that did? BOY am I glad I got to read them.

Stephen King said, “Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

And I want to share some of that magic with you.

Here’s the deal in today’s episode. We’re going to talk about 10 books that have changed my life and business… and might just do the same for you.
