What books and podcasts are you reading/listening/watching?

[Tex_77]

Austin if KSU wasn’t so terrible I might listen to something about them.

Tex_77 We’ve been on a bad luck streak lately, but things are gearing up for 2022-2023 sports to be pretty darn good. Football should be good next year. Men and Women’s basketball is really promising for a fun season next year!

[Tex_77]

Well sometimes I’ll get a hardcopy of a book too, this showed up today.

[HerbcoFood]

Tex_77 How is that book?

[Tex_77]

HerbcoFood just getting started in it, but pretty good so far.

Cabelas90 I’ve listened to that one as well, it is pretty good.

Tex_77 I have not had a chance to listen yet but i have set through a few seminar’s that Fansisco has put on that were very good.

[Tex_77]

I just finished “Fierce Valor: The True Story of Ronald Speirs and his Band of Brothers” it’s pretty good. I would definitely recommend reading Band of Brothers and watching the mini series before reading this book.

Tex_77 Better late than never but 2 I really like are
Hardcore History by Dan Carlin
TimCast IRL byt Time Pool
Danger Close one is an awesome podcast!

[Tex_77]

Austin Jonathon so I got a State of Kansas Library card, which now allows me to read free eBooks/Audiobooks so goodbye Audible. It was really easy to get, I just had to go to my local library to get signed up.

For everyone not in Kansas I would check with your State library to see if they have a similar program.

So my last listen was Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. I thought the book was excellent and provided many practical leadership principals with lessons from the battlefield and how they can be applied to business. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in a leadership role within a business. Austin Jonathon I plan to follow this up with the next book they put out The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win

[zbigjeff]

Tex_77 “The Dichotomy…” read would be very interesting. The only theme I never enjoyed as a consultant was a “Micro Manager”. Just sayin’.

[Tex_77]

zbigjeff shhhh I think that is probably Jonathon’s management style

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Yeah extreme leadership was a great book, if you like that then Outlaw Platoon by Shawn Parnell has some interesting stuff in it. It’s not the same but similar themes.

[Tex_77]

Jonathon I will check it out, I just started War by Sebastian Junger, which the movie Restrepo is based on. It has been very good so far.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Tribe is what I know Junger from. Disturbing book, or at least my conclusions from it were disturbing.

[Tex_77]

Jonathon I’ve got it bookmarked.
