015 - The Big Leap - Gay Hendrix

The Big Leap by Gay Hendrix re-hit the scene after the pandemic with a bang. Everyone was searching for meaning or purpose and this book offered many insights to living a life true to yourself, thus it became the topic of many podcast episodes and YouTube videos. I finally read it, and want to discuss key take-aways I got from doing so. From moving to and operating in your Zone of Genius, to recognizing patterns of my own self-limitation and self sabotage so I could stop arguing for my limitations. Tune in, and check out your own copy of The Big Leap by Gay Hendrix today.

014 - 2023 A Year In Review!

I can't believe the year is almost over!! In just a few days (at the time of this episode going live) we will be in a new year, a new month, a new week, and a new season in many people's lives.  Now is a time to take a look back at the previous year and all that was accomplished. Join me as I look at the books read this year, a few plans I had but chose not to pursue, the podcast episodes published, and the upcoming year! 2023 is done, let's review.

013 - 48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love - Dan Miller

48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love by Dan Miller is a wonderful book outlining how to craft your entire life, not just your career, into what you desire it to be.  This book has been on my list to read for a long time but I have not read it because I told myself the 48 Days podcats was enough. This was a on over justification for not taking the time to read the book but this summer I made the decision to dive in and I am so glad I did. I believe everyone should read this book regardless of if they are looking for a new job or career change. The steps outlined in 48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love are practical for oncovering who you are, what work you feel most called to do, and aligning the two together.  Go check out 48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love (and be sure to grab the 20th Anniversarry edition when you do) in whatever format you prefer, and also check out the Book-Lover's kit for reading essentials; JohnnysLibrary.com [http://JohnnysLibrary.com]

012 - Everyday Millionaires - Chris Hogan

There is so much talk going around right now saying it is impossible (and maybe immoral) to build wealth in today's society. I think that mindset is ridiculous and it reminded me of the book Everyday Millionaires by Chris Hogan I read a few years ago that outlines a clear process to building a million dollar net worth. Is it easy? For some yes, for others no. Is it possible? Absolutely. Even if you do not believe it is possible please stop stealing hope and joy from others who still believe it is. There are coutnless people showing a million dollar net worth is completely obtainable in today's world even with crazy inflation, student loan payments returning, all-time high credit card debt balances, and  This book gives practical steps for building a million dollar net worth, examples of others who have already done so, and the mindset practices encouraged to adopt along the way. You can become a millionaire and Everyday Millionaire by Chris Hogan will show you how.

011 - The Daily Reading of 75 Hard

It's 75 Hard Week at JohnnyBoy Studios so of course I have to include an episode about The Daily Reading of 75 Hard! I went through 75 Hard in the fall of 2022 and this podcast was born out of that journey. Part of the program is to daily read 10 pages of a non-fiction book which aligned with a goal I had to read more. Those 75 days gave me a framework for moving forward with the practice of reading personal development books on a more regular basis. That is a practice I will be reengaging with moving forward. I truly believe the right books can change your entire future if you just take the time to read them. For 75 Hard Week I had to talk about the task of Reading 10 pages of a non-fiction book (audio books don't count) and Johnny's Library was the perfect place to do so. Check out this episode as I dive all into why this was a game changer in my life and how I am getting back to the practice.  Go check out the brand-new landing page for 75 Hard [http://johnnyboystudios.net/75harddaily/] and take a look at all the recommended reading listed!
