The Biz Book Broadcast

Right Tools, Wrong Strategy | Classics with Ron Tester

Ever bought a course you never finished? Yeah - me too.

Ron Tester is back to discuss Oliver Jeffers' delightful book Stuck + what happens when you keep throwing things at problems without a strategy.

We discuss why buying courses feels like progress when it isn't, the difference between tactics + strategy and why more is almost never the answer.

Look for more Classics episodes where we take stories that definitely aren't business books + treat them as though they were.

Books discussed in this episode:

Stuck - Oliver Jeffers

Book Yourself Solid - Michael Port

Ever opened an email that's a wall of text + had to scroll all the way to the bottom just to find out what it's actually about? 

Communication expert Chris Fenning quite literally wrote the book on why this happens and - more importantly - how to fix it.

We discuss two simple frameworks for clearer communication, why waffle reads as disrespect rather than charm + the uncomfortable truth that people rate your competence based on how quickly you get to the point.  

Being clearer can change the trajectory of your career.

It's been a while since we had our Your Biz Needs a Book strand front and centre. So it's time to remind you how helpful a book can be.  

In the studio Sean Platt is back - he's written 200+ books + ghost-written plenty more. He's never found a business that couldn't benefit from one - even the local chiropractor.

We discuss why writing the wrong book can actively hurt you, the question you must ask before you write a single word + why the thing you're almost throwing away because it's too easy might be your most valuable content.

Look for more episodes in the Your Biz Needs a Book strand - there's a huge number of experts there sharing helpful info and encouragement.

Kym Medina joins me to discuss Maurice Sendak's classic + what it teaches about seagull management.

We discuss why the book lands so differently in the UK vs US, the difference between loud borrowed power + real sustainable power + why creativity collapses without responsibility.

Executive coach Juliet Corbett joins me to discuss Oliver Burkeman's transformative book 4000 Weeks + why accepting you can't do everything might be the most productive thing you ever do.

We discuss the difference between clock time + deep time + how the pandemic gave us all an experience of medieval time management. Plus, why flow state would make your life feel seven minutes long + what Johnny Cash's daughter teaches us about finding the right mentors.
