    The Author Lied To Me | Book Huddle with Ron Tester

    Some books promise you one thing and hand you another. That breaks the trust of the reader.  I've read three of them recently + I’m still furious.  Ron Tester is back + he's brought a multi-million bestseller filled with a promise it can't really keep. I've brought two that made me squeak with rage, including one that does something unforgivable to the most beloved character in all of Dickens.  If you're a book purist, become irked by inconsistencies or enjoy hearing me having a proper rant, this one's for you.  If you're writing a book, this whole show is what to avoid lest your readers loathe you (quite the warning). Look for more in the Book Huddle strand. Books discussed in this episode: Motherland - Julia Yoffe The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss Great Expectations - Charles Dickens Havisham - L. Macrae Sense and Sensibility + Zombies - Seth Grahame-Smith Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Seth Grahame-Smith Ron's Website: rontestercoaching.com ==== If you’d like my help with your Business go to www.lizscully.com/endlessClients ==== And don’t forget to get your reading list of the 10 essential reads for every successful biz owner - these are the books Liz recommends almost on the daily to her strategy + Mastermind clients.

    Cafe at the Edge of Bankruptcy | Classics with Karen Gordon

    CFO Karen Gordon is back for a Classics episode + we're taking The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods entirely seriously as a business proposition. Magical or not - sadly, it does not hold up. We discuss the many issues of which not having a business plan is only the start - what happens when your only customer pays in gold? And that's before we get into the hygiene issues of magical creatures. This is a Classics episode, where we treat a book that is absolutely not a business book as though it were.

    We're All Terrible at Death | Book Huddle with Nikki Smith

    Turns out coffins have fashions. I was told dark wood wasn't in this year. Nikki Smith is a death doula + grief coach. Not a job most of us have heard of, so I ask her what it involves. Then we turn to Caitlin Doughty's From Here to Eternity, on how the rest of the world handles death rather better than we do. We discuss the festival where families bring their dead back out for dinner each year, why Nikki insists on the word death + the one thing to keep with your will that almost nobody thinks of. Bleak subject. Surprisingly good fun. Look for more Book Huddles. And a miniseries from Nikki coming soon.  Books discussed in this episode: From Here to Eternity - Caitlin Doughty Nikki's Website: www.nikkithedeathdoula.com ==== If you’d like my help with your Business go to www.lizscully.com/endlessClients ==== And don’t forget to get your reading list of the 10 essential reads for every successful biz owner - these are the books Liz recommends almost on the daily to her strategy + Mastermind clients.

    Transform Your Soggy Bottom | Cookbooks with Ron Tester

    Nobody wants a soggy bottom. So cook Dominic Franks turned his tarts upside down - problem not only solved, but dinner improved. Business coach Ron Tester is back for more cookbook business thinking. This time we're taking that flip + pointing it at businesses with a known weak spot they've simply learned to live with. I bring Ron five major business flips + we discuss them. One is so good, I'm going to start using it immediately. Look for more in the Cookbooks strand.

    Financial Red Flags | Red Flags with Karen Gordon

    Your favorite local place has stopped taking cards. The napkins have gone thin. Something's up + you already know it. CFO Karen Gordon is back for our Red Flags strand, this time on spotting financial trouble - in the companies you buy from, the company you work for + your own. Karen knows the tells from the inside. Which small changes mean cost-cutting has started, what it means when the finance team goes quiet + why the good people always leave first. I also confess how I'm managing a software supplier I suspect might not survive the year. Look for more Red Flags episodes - they're always packed with helpful ideas.

    Never Hand Over the Blank Page | Your Biz Needs a Book with Chris Fenning #2

    Don't ask an AI to write your book. It'll do it... but it'll be pap. Chris Fenning is back for part two of our AI mini-series, this time aimed at the book you're writing. He's firm on this - you bring the thinking, AI helps you sharpen it. Never the other way round. We discuss how to make it a proper thinking partner, how it can help with interview transcripts + the signs that you've handed over too much control. Plus, Chris shares a tool almost nobody talks about. Look for previous episodes with Chris.
