Happy Monday, Radicals! This morning I want to share a few experiences I'm grateful for and use it as an opportunity to encourage you as you begin your week.

He finished his 41-year corporate career as the Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World responsible ...

I love hearing entrepreneurship stories because they speak to me of people who clarify what they want and pursue it aggressively. Vision is required for you to be willing to leave the bed of employment where things are comfortable and warm and pursue the rocky world of entrepreneurship. The road isn't easy. But it can be easier if you will build a financial foundation underneath you before you launch. My guest today is Cliff Ravenscraft, best known as the Podcast Answer Man. Cliff has an amazing...

"Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time" by Brian Tracy is an absolute goldmine of a book. Without question, this is a 5-star book.

It's not a deep-dive treatise of productivity systems; rather, it's an overview of the core principles of productivity that you need in order to organize your life around accomplishing more, meaningful things that will move you t...

(audio from a video book review)Nicholas Boothman’s book “How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less” is a great introduction to the skill of intentionally establishing rapport with new acquaintances. This book is a broad, useful introduction to the topic. All else being equal, people would rather spend time with, work with, buy from, and help those that they like. The skill of being likeable and helping people to like you is thus a very useful life skill and can be an important component...

What most intrigues me about Steve's story is how his decisions to get out of debt have had a massive impact on the rest of his lif...
