This is part two of a book review of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.

I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done.

I recently read a book that I love: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.

I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done.

In this episode, I go through a tactical list he includes in the book about 10 Tools for Embracing Your Finitude. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

I've interviewed 510+ top performers. Here are five characteristics I've seen them share:

1. Readers

2. Mentors

3. BIG goals

4. Get out of doing

5. Active

Someone in our community sent me a message requesting a few thoughts on their military career transition. I wanted to take the opportunity to share four things that have been on my mind lately.

We've had over a month since our last episode, and we've got a string of five episodes coming your way. Here's what to expect.

Normally on the show I interview a military Veteran about their civilian career: what they do, how they got there, and advice for others seeking to do the same.
Today's episode instead is a book review of a book I just finished that has helped me in my career, and I hope it helps you as well: Masters of Scale.

Today's episode instead is a book review of a book I just finished that has helped me in my career, and I hope it helps you as well: Masters of Scale.

In this episode I provide a high-level summary of the book, Rocket Fuel. This is a book for anyone interested in leading a 50+ person company, or for any entrepreneur looking to scale their company. You can find a copy of the book at https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Fuel-Essential-Combination-Business/dp/1942952317

In this episode I provide a book review of Atomic Habits by James Clear. This is a FANTASTIC habit relevant to any career path (as well as your personal life). It efficiently explains incredible tactics to employ to build habits that will get you where you want to go, and destroy the habits that keep you from getting there.

In this episode I provide my top 17 takeaways from an incredible book about leadership and growing a company: Mastering the Rockefeller Habits.

In this episode, I provide my key takeaways from a book a recent guest recommended to me; WHO not HOW. It is a book all about the fact that, when presented with a problem, we often think: how can I solve this? Instead, the book talks about shifting to a "who can help me solve this" mindset. By finding a WHO who has a network and area of expertise to solve your problem, you free yourself up instead to operate in your own particular zone of genius.

In this episode I give a quick recap of a book that helped me and I know will help many Veterans who may think there's not enough time or money to go around. You Are A Badass at Making Money is a fantastic book about changing our beliefs about money and success, and I hope you'll check it out.

In this episode I give a quick recap of one of my favorite books of 2021: The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. I plan to have every person I hire read this book. It is an exceptional framework for leading with integrity, and a book that has had a big impact on my and my business.

In this episode we talk about feelings at work, and how - if leveraged properly - they can provide enormous insight into a leader and team about where they need to focus their time and energy.

This is a new episode format where I focus on a mindset that I'm working on and that I believe will help our BTU audience in their career and life. Today, I'm talking about gratitude and three "pro tips" about building up a muscle of gratitude and apprecation.

Why Listen:

KC overlapped his time in the military with his time at NASA having over 20 years at each of those organizations. Although his childhood aspiration was to become an astronaut, and he got to the final stages of that process, he ended up starting a company called Athlete Foundary. I love their mission because it's aimed at helping children of any zip code and background fulfill their dream of becoming collegiate athletes. By leveling the playing field and making it clear what process people need to follow to become a collegiate athlete, he's helping hundreds of 1000s of people across the United States. This is a great episode for those of you interested in entrepreneurship. It's also great to see how someone is having a positive impact on the world after the military service, and also hearing about his experience at NASA.

About KC:

KC Chhipwadia is the CEO and Founder of Athlete Foundary. For the driven middle and high school student athlete, Athlete Foundary improves the odds of her achieving her dream to become a collegiate athlete, regardless of zip code, by providing a first-of-its-kind athletic and academic unified plan, integrated with qualities collegiate coaches actually value so they can track, build, and communicate a better journey to collegiate athletics. KC served for 20 years as a Senior Human Spaceflight Engineer at NASA Johnson Space Center, supporting over 50 Space Shuttle missions. He also served for over 20 years, both active and reserved in the Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer, including deployments to Iraq looking for our missing-in-action, and Afghanistan with Naval Special Warfare.
