The late Charlie “Tremendous” Jones used to say, “You’ll be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.”

Last summer I went on a trip to Atlanta and randomly bumped into Michael Hyatt. I told him I had his new book Platform on my reading list. (Truth is, my reading list is pretty long which means I can’t get to a lot of really great books). But in the short interaction I had with Michael, I decided to bump Platform to the top of my list. It was truly a game-changer and influenced just about everything about how I set up and approach this website. I’d have been lost without him! You don’t need to meet Michael Hyatt in order to benefit from his experience and knowledge. Here’s a link to his book: http://astore.amazon.com/thoufortheeve-20/detail/159555503X
This year I read “Finish the Mission” and met one of the authors, Michael Oh. Both the book and the author have impacted my life.
It’s always great to meet the authors of books that hit home.
