    Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Paul Baillie as a distinguished guest whose work reflects intellectual rigor, professional depth, and a clear commitment to meaningful impact through ideas. In this extended and engaging conversation, we explore the foundations of his journey—what shaped his thinking, how his experiences informed his writing, and why his message resonates in today’s evolving cultural and professional landscape.

The discussion moves beyond surface-level storytelling and dives into themes of leadership, resilience, purpose, and the power of well-articulated ideas to shape behavior and inspire change. Throughout the episode, we examine how authors can leverage authenticity as a strategic advantage, how personal narrative strengthens authority, and how disciplined thinking translates into lasting influence.

    In its sixth season, Book 101 Review welcomes Alex Boylan, an Emmy-nominated television host, producer, and entrepreneur whose journey from reality TV champion to educational content innovator is both strategic and inspiring. Best known for winning The

    Alex Boylan Amazing Race Winner | Creator and Host of Amazon Prime’s The College Tour I’m Alex Boylan — an Emmy-nominated host, producer, and author whose career has been built by saying yes to adventure, uncertainty, and experience. I’ve circumnavigated the globe more than five times, filming in over 60 countries, and long before television ever entered the picture, I had already lived in South America during high school, Europe in college, and the Caribbean after graduation. Those early experiences shaped how I see risk, opportunity, and what it really means to build a meaningful life. Many people first discovered me after I won Season 2 of The Amazing Race, but that moment was just one chapter in a much longer story. I went on to create Around the World For Free, the first online interactive travel series, and today I’m the creator and host of Amazon Prime’s The College Tour, now in its 16th season with more than 200 episodes spotlighting opportunity, education, and possibility. What I bring to podcasts are engaging, story-driven conversations about travel, career design, taking smart risks, storytelling, and how life experience often matters more than a perfect résumé. I love sharing behind-the-scenes stories from global travel and television, but I always aim to leave listeners with practical takeaways they can apply to their own lives — whether that’s embracing discomfort, trusting curiosity, or designing a career that doesn’t follow a traditional script. I’m also the author of The Miles That Make You, a reflection on how the moments that challenge us most often shape us the most. I’m happy to talk about the book, but I’m just as excited to explore any direction that best serves your audience and creates a memorable, high-energy conversation.

    Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Jim Nesbitt, an award-winning author whose work is celebrated for its grit, authenticity, and powerful sense of place. In this episode, the conversation dives into the craft of storytelling, the discipline

    Award-winning author Jim Nesbitt has written five hard-boiled Texas crime thrillers that feature an indelible protagonist, Dallas private eye Ed Earl Burch, a cashiered homicide detective with bad knees, a wounded liver and an empty bank account. He's smart, tough, profane and reckless: nobody's hero but nobody's fool. Drawing on four decades as a journalist chasing hurricanes, presidential candidates, neo-Nazis, cops, crooks and cowboys, Nesbitt writes hard-hitting novels bristling with relentless action, pulse-racing plots, solid storylines and a colorful cast of characters. Gritty and remorseless, these stories take readers on a thrill ride that runs from the gleaming towers of Dallas and Houston to the stark desert mountains of the Texas Big Bend country and northern Mexico. This is hard-boiled detective fiction at its finest -- taut, tense and uncompromising sagas of revenge and redemption. With his pitch-perfect voice and keen eye for detail, Jim Nesbitt has created extraordinary tales centered on a main character like no other: the deeply flawed but wildly compelling Ed Earl Burch. They are damned good stories exceptionally well-told. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Dave Eltringham, Oregon personal injury attorney and founder of ELG Injury Lawyers, as a guest. In this conversation, we explore the experience, discipline, and client-first philosophy that shape his work i

    Dave Eltringham Dave Eltringham — Oregon Personal Injury Attorney & Founder of ELG Injury Lawyers Dave Eltringham is the founder of ELG Injury Lawyers with offices primarily in Oregon, but also Florida, dedicated to representing seriously injured victims in auto, trucking, motorcycle, and premises-liability cases. What makes Dave especially compelling: He brings a personal, lived-experience angle — having himself survived a severe personal injury, he understands the physical, emotional and financial toll of trauma from the inside. What the audience can learn By having Dave on your podcast, listeners will walk away with insights in multiple dimensions: How traumatic injury changes lives — and how to rebuild: Because Dave has been “in the shoes” of a severely injured person, he can authentically speak to recovery, mindset, navigating the system, and getting life back on track — not just settlement outcomes. What to do (and what not to do) after a major accident: Dave can explain the critical steps injured people overlook, how insurance companies operate, and how to avoid common pitfalls that reduce compensation or prolong recovery. Behind the scenes of major personal injury law: The episode can unpack how big-injury cases are built (experts, reconstruction, liability), how law firms differentiate themselves, and what the injured should expect from representation. Transparency, values & client-service in high-stakes contexts: Dave’s “concierge” model invites discussion about how businesses (legal and otherwise) can deliver high-value service, build trust, and maintain integrity under pressure. Risk, prevention & advocacy for broader audiences: Even listeners who aren’t likely to hire a personal injury attorney can benefit — understanding risk management, safety (especially motorcycle/trucking), humanitarian aspects of supporting injured workers/communities, and the importance of systems and processes in crisis.

    Joshua Delp Pastor, Coach, and Strategist Equipping Men and Leaders to Live & Lead with Courage, Integrity, and Emotional Intelligence I didn’t grow up with a clear picture of faith or healthy leadership. My early years were marked by brokenness and confusion — until Jesus changed everything. His grace completely redirected the course of my life and set me on fire to serve others and help them discover their own God-given purpose. I stepped into full-time ministry young and passionate, but like many leaders, I hit a wall. I was overwhelmed, overcommitted, and stuck — doing a lot for God but not really leading from God. Then I experienced transformational coaching that helped me gain clarity, emotional intelligence, and a sustainable way of leading. That breakthrough changed my life, my leadership, and eventually became the foundation for my work and everything I teach today. Now, through Rising Leadership, Risen Men, and the upcoming Risen Project, I help men and leaders strengthen their faith, lead with clarity and conviction, and live out their calling with balance and integrity. My story is really about God's redemption, restoration, and refocus — learning to lead from a healthy soul, love my family well, and still serve the world with purpose.

    Mike Milan Cash Flow Mike I’m Cash Flow Mike, and I help business owners and their advisors find hidden cash in their companies—without spreadsheets full of confusion or lectures they’ll forget by tomorrow. For the past 20+ years, I’ve been in the trenches—starting, building, advising, and saving businesses. I’ve built or helped build 14 companies from the ground up. Along the way, I realized that most small business owners are flying blind when it comes to their finances—not because they’re bad at business, but because no one ever showed them how to read the story their numbers are trying to tell. That’s where I come in. I created the Clear Path to Cash framework—a practical system that shows people how to improve their cash flow, increase profitability, and build a more valuable business using real data, real fast. I’ve taught it to over 25,000 business owners, CPAs, bookkeepers, and bankers—and helped them uncover more than $150 million in hidden cash. But I’m not just about the numbers. I’m about helping people make better decisions—and have better conversations. That’s why I wrote three books: The 7 Minute Conversation – Learn to analyze financial statements in less time than it takes to finish your coffee.
