Turn the Page in Your Career with Effective Reading Techniques | E122 Nick Hutchison

What kind of impact would it have on your career if you could be mentored by Tim Ferriss, Brene Brown, Cal Newport, Oprah Winfrey, Les Brown, Ryan Holliday, James Clear, and Carol Dweck?

This is a handful of the top thinkers from the last decade and the great news is, we can receive their mentorship.


No, unfortunately, they don’t have a special lottery program where you can enter to win a free mentoring session but they do have something even better, a book.


Yes, all of these top thinkers are also authors and they’ve condensed the knowledge they’ve gained from decades of experience into an organized format that costs less than $20 even free if you’re savvy about it.


Today we are talking about the power of books. My friend Nick Hutchison from BookThinkers is going to teach us how to boost your career through effective reading. Nick and I get into all kinds of reading techniques like note-taking strategies, how to read faster, finding time to read, and when to stop reading a book that isn’t serving you.


If you’re ready to take your career and life to the next level by reading impactful books, then this episode is for you.
