This question was one that Tim Ferris used in his epic book Tribe of Mentors. While I certainly don’t have the Twitter profile to earn a spot in the book, I loved the question. The book I’ve gifted most often is The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink – retired Navy Seal Officer, podcast host, and leadership consultant. The balance needed to successfully lead teams and build cultures rich with decentralized command is tough to maintain. This book is a MUST read for anyone leading teams of any kind.

I’m a podcast junky – I’m a huge fan of several but there are a few that stand out and each episode holds up even after years:

• The MFCEO Podcast with Andy Frisella (now Real AF with Andy Frisella, Sal Frisella, and DJ aka “Reg”
  You may need to ice down your ears because Andy and Sal bring some serious, not safe for snowflake heat. Topics run from discipline, to motivation, politics, COVID, personal responsibility, building a powerful company culture, and most importantly personal improvement. These guys change lives on a daily basis and I can very honestly say that they’ve changed mine.
• Live Better Sell Better with Kevin “KD” Dorsey
  This guy will inspire you to be a better human. His course on uDemy is fantastic as well. You can feel his genuine love of leading and growing salespeople in every episode and if I ever grace the stage to do a big stadium-style presentation, I want KD to do my intro. 
• Advanced Selling Podcast with Brian Neale and Bill Caskey
  The longest running sales podcast in podcast history. Brian and Bill dump heaps of wisdom on the audience. I listened to dozens of these in a row while driving from Colorado to New Hampshire with my dog Cashy and it changed the way I looked at sales, prospecting, and detachment as a critical component of success.
