#209 - From Broadcasting to Leading Through Reading with Jeff Brown

On this show, I like to interview folks who have created fun work for themselves to fuel their lifestyle. I'm excited to bring you my conversation with Read to Lead's podcast host Jeff Brown. Through one chapter of Jeff's life closing, he opened another opportunity for himself. And he did it through his experience in learning from books. In 2013, Jeff Brown left behind a 26-year career in broadcasting and launched the Read to Lead Podcast, a podcast that would go on to become a Top 3 Career podcast in Apple Podcasts and receive, so far, four Best Business Podcast nominations. For nearly 9 years now, Jeff has published weekly interviews with some of the world's most successful and inspiring authors, totaling over four-hundred episodes. The show's success eventually led to the publication of his own book called Read to Lead: The Simple Habit That Expands Your Influence and Boosts Your Career. Reviews for the book average 4.9 stars on Amazon and it has ranked in the Top 3 on Amazon for Career Guides. Through his virtual and in-person speaking and workshops, Jeff evangelizes leaders and teams on the benefits of lifelong learning and professional development and has recently accepted invitations to speak from leaders at LinkedIn, Disney, the National Speakers Association, UPS, Docket, Anvl, and the Virginia Council of CEOs.   Continue the conversation.
