Getting DZ Derek Zardus

So after 4 months, the podcast is evolving. Same basic format, but I am little more focused on delivering the information that you, the listener, have told me you love.  In the mix of book recommendations today, we have a book about teamwork and professionalism, a book to sharpen your learning capabilities and one of my favorite running books. In the coaching afterglow, I will continue talking about a Carpe Diem morning mindset, this time focusing on being our best selves at work.  Enjoy!

There is no grading system here. This week I recommend a book that will be like a Swiss Army Knife for your health, some motivation as you start your Springtime exercises, a review of our breathing practices, and a book to unburden yourself. The coaching segment this week is on focused learning.  

Today's podcast will have books to inspire morning "Rumi"nations, how to have better conversations, where you should focus your energy, and a self help classic. In the coaching portion, I'll be discussing how I am crafting my morning bookend, a mental and physical routine to start my day off on the right foot.

This week's episode includes some book recommendations which explain the benefits of compound interest in all aspects of life, how and why you should squeeze a little more sleep into your day, how solitude can make you a better leaders, and a big boost for all my Seattle Seahawks fans. In the coaching segment, I'll be rambling about procedures before you get to bed that will set you up for a successful day tomorrow.

After a brief hiatus, we are returning with our seventh episode. Is it a new format? No. Is it perhaps improved in some way? Sadly, this is also not the case. It's magnificent for having new books to recommend, especially one on procrastination. The first week of my break was a surprise because I got a last minute teaching gig.  The second week involved the moving and reorganization of my home base here in Warsaw. The third week was all delay and shoddy excuses.  Forgive me dear reader. I'm back and back on track and I've got your back for new book recommendations.  

6 episodes in and I have about two dozen listeners who want to know what I'm reading or thinking about. This week I recommend books to improve your reading skills, enhance your willpower, start a business, and develop Antifragility (Hulk's Super Power).  Thanks for finding me here.
