What are you reading right now?
When you look for new books to read, what grabs your attention? Most of you know how much of an avid reader I am. I try my best to read at least one book per week, mainly focused on Leadership and Personal Development. How many books do you read throughout the year? Below are the last 12 books I have read. Have you checked any of these books out yet? Feel free to reach out
1) The Chosen Ones by: Tony Meale. This is a wonderful read about the only High School boys basketball team in Ohio that defeated LeBron, which was accomplished during his Junior year at St. Vincent St. mary’s in the state championship game. It is a very compelling story! We will be having the author (Tony) on our podcast this fall.
2) The Carpenter by: Jon Gordon. This is an incredible fictional story about a carpenter who saved a man’s life and then proceeded to share three great lessons with the man during his recovery. We are also excited to have Jon Gordon and his son Cole scheduled for our podcast this October.
