87: Introducing Making Good Book Club (+ Meet My Co-Host, Charelle Griffith)
If you’ve listened to any of the interviews I’ve done on the podcast before, you know that one of the questions that I ask every single guest on the podcast is for a book recommendation. I’m a voracious reader, and I know that so many listeners are real book people too.
And so, I’m BEYOND excited to be launching the Making Good Book Club!
And I am so, so thrilled to introduce you to the amazing woman who has agreed to co-host the book club with me, marketing expert Charelle Griffith.
About Charelle
Charelle Griffith is a Business and Marketing Strategist for coaches, consultants and online service providers. With a passion for supporting solopreneurs and small business owners, Charelle focuses on taking the overwhelm out of marketing and instead creates marketing strategies that help her clients to shine online, consistently create content that converts, and ultimately build a thriving business that supports the lifestyle they desire.
How will the book club work?
Each month on the podcast, we’ll announce the next month’s Book Club book, and we’ll read it together during the month. And then, a month after we announce each book, we’ll release an episode where Charelle and I will sit down to discuss the book, highlight key takeaways, and explore how to apply it to small businesses.
In this book club we’ll be covering both traditional “business books”, as well as general self-improvement and wellness books we think are relevant to how we run our businesses. We’ll be making an effort to not just read books written by white men, and have some fantastic books on our list that I am SOOO excited about.
Announcing Making Good Book Club’s first book….
⚡️ Mindset by Carol S. Dweck ⚡️
Why? Our mindsets dictate the results we see in our businesses and our lives. Read this book alongside us to learn how to harness your mindset to thrive in all areas of your live.
From the publisher, Penguin Random House:
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.
This episode
In this episode, you’ll get to know a little more about Charelle and what she does in her business as a marketing strategist. We also discuss Charelle’s LOVE for non-fiction books, and she shares her advice for making sure that we not only read awesome books… but actually implement what we learn into our lives and businesses. Finally, we’re both marketing nerds, so we talk marketing a bit as well.
