And now for something completely different. I sent a newsletter out a couple of weeks ago that wasn’t really directly related to sales at all.

Instead, I was talking about a couple of books that I was reading on macro economics and what the future of the world might look like. It prompted some really interesting conversations and feedback. And one of those bits of feedback was that it was nice to get away from the pure sales content sometimes.

I thought I’d lean into that a bit as we start to wrap up the summer and wanted to share my favorite recent non-fiction read, and by “read” I actually mean listen on Audible. This was “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir. You may recognize the author as the author of “The Martian” which was another book I absolutely loved.

Now, he did a book in between called “Artemis” not my favorite, but “Project Hail Mary” is amazing. I highly highly recommend it. And I’d also love to hear what you’re reading, or your favorite recent reads. I might even include some of those in a future newsletter.

I’m kind of cheating with this episode. Its purpose is to let you know that I’m taking a week off and that there won’t be a bonus episode this week, but in a roundabout way, it helps me keep my streaks alive as I haven’t missed a week on this show since we started consistently releasing bonus episodes between the interview episodes years ago.

If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m a HUGE believer in consistency as today we’ll also be releasing episode 1242 on the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I’ve never missed a day on that show. Now, I’m cheating a little bit over there too with a bit of a best-of series, but it’s important to take breaks. I’ve been in need of a massive refresh with tons going on professionally as always, but that’s been compounded by a lot going on on the personal side with a new home purchase and renovation and prepping for the sale of my previous home which is currently under contract.

For me, it’s about getting my head right and getting ready for a full out 4 month sprint that will culminate in the Sales Success Summit and SalesTechEX the second week of October. I also need to get super aggressive about refreshing my productivity process when I get back to pull all of this off. So that’s where we’re at. No real episode today, and I appreciate your understanding and continuing to come back week after week to this show. I’ll talk to you next week!
