What I'm Reading: How to Win Friends and Influence People

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Rite of Passion Podcast. I am bring to you the second segment of "What I'm Reading". I want to share with you a book that I have read multiple times over the last two years, and the only negative thing I can say is I wish I would have read it sooner. The book for today is "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. The book is described as a guidebook for the simple and life-changing concepts such as: a simple way to make a good first impression, how to criticize other people, an easy way to become a good conversationalist, what to do when nothing else works, making people glad to do what you want, and more. Personally, this book has made me a more confident conversationalist, helped me learn how to make a great first impression, and how to be a respected and impactful leader. I hope the key ideas in this book resonate with you, and who knows, this book may be added to your own list! If you enjoy today's episode I encourage you to go listen to my previous episodes as well! Additionally, please consider leaving me a review and a 5-star rating so others may find the show as well.

What Makes a Good Leader? A discussion of leadership theories and the questions we can ask ourselves every day - Kyle Cobb

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Kyle, and I am excited to share it with you all. Kyle will soon be graduating from the University of West Georgia with a double major in marketing and management. Upon graduation he will be working as a graduate assistant for the Richards College of Business in the economic department. During his undergraduate career Kyle had the opportunity to study leadership theory, and even develop a theory of his own. Our conversation revolved around what makes a good leader, and how we can apply these theories and ideas into our own lives. We also discussed the concept of "learning" and how you don't need to be a good academic to be a good learner.  Kyle is a great friend of mine, and I know you all will enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
