Episode #026: Best of 2013 Vol. 1

Even though the Read to Lead Podcast is less than six months old, we’ve already been fortunate to welcome as many as eight New York Times bestselling authors into the guest chair.
It seemed fitting then, on this Christmas Eve edition, to take a look back at what we’ve learned and the ground we’ve been able to cover. The Best of 2013 Volume 1 spans the first twelve episodes of the show.

Today, I get to share with you some of my favorite moments from these first few months and, I gotta say, it was extremely difficult to narrow down. For a list of each author highlighted, along with a link to their original episode and a link to the latest book, just scroll down to the bottom of this post. But, before you do, be sure to enter for your chance to win one of three free books!

Win an Autographed Book!
Today’s episode also brings with it a chance to win one of three different books! They include:
Wisdom Meets Passion: When Generations Collide and Collaborate (autographed) by Dan Miller and his son Jared Angaza
Discover Your Sweet Spot: The 7 Steps to Create a Life of Success and Significance (autographed) by Scott M. Fay
Fire Your Excuses (personalized autograph: especially appropriate if your name is also Jeff) by Dr. Bill Dyment and Dr. Marcus Dayhoff
To win one of these gems, you need to take ALL of the following three actions:


* Leave a comment on this post stating which book you hope to win and why (scroll down to comment). Be creative!
* Fill out this special form with your name and address (if you don’t hear from me, you can assume you didn’t win)
* Tweet this sentence (just click on it): Win 1 of 3 books from the #ReadtoLead Podcast with @THEjeffbrown! Find out more here: http://ctt.ec/I5Non+


Yes, I realize tweeting this lessens your chances of winning – as more people are likely to enter – but I hope you’ll agree that potentially providing you with a free book is a fair exchange. I will choose the winners and notify each via e-mail by Saturday morning, December 28th.
I hope you win. Good luck!
