I recently started a habit of collecting podcast interviews for books I love in Spotify playlists. It’s so amazing to listen to a favorite author talk about the book after or even while you are reading it.
I will keep updating this list and pin it soon to the website.
Book 1: Seth Godin- The Practice:
Book 2: James Clear-Atomic Habits: and in Arabic
Book 3: Cal Newport-Digital Minimalism
Book 4: Greg McKeown-Effortless (brand new)
It feels like stumbling on a treasure to me whenever I find interviews where my most favorite authors talk to each other, it’s like: “I knew it! They DO know and like each other and life makes sense and my interests are so cohesive”. I actually squealed with excitement when I first saw the recording of the LIVE interview of Seth Godin with Martha Beck for her new book (The Way of Integrity). I always wondered if Seth and Martha knew each other and they did (imagine my excitement if I watched it in real time).
Another collaboration I enjoyed listening to and learning from last week, although done in 2019, is between my heroes Cal Newport and James Clear who continue to inspire me every single day including my latest podcast content.
One more brand new collaboration I highly recommend you go check out is the virtual book launch with the fantastic authors Jon Acuff and Greg McKeown about their just released books (Soundtracks and Effortless). As I mentioned in previous posts, I am reading them both and finding them beautifully complementing each other. Yesterday’s post was actually how they started this conversation and I had no idea they did until I listened to it this morning.
I also smiled when Greg said that going past episode 20 in your podcast is a huge success that only about 10% of podcasts achieve, others quit before.
I am about to launch my 25th episode.
So cool.
