Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
This book was not what I expected. I initially saw it at the National Restaurant Association where OpenTable was showcasing it in their booth. I also saw it being referenced in The Bear. So honestly, I thought it would be a book that was very restaurant focused. An employee of mine wanted to do a […]
The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann
This book is the basis of my Pay it FWRD Newsletter. I have always focused on being a go-giver even before reading this book. It was great to read and hear a story that aligns so well with my thought process when it comes to sales, cross-functional work, leadership, culture, and more. The concept has […]
Legacy by James Kerr
This was one of the best books on culture that I have read – probably the best. I was already intrigued because of the sports aspect of it but once I read it and the overlying theme of culture, it confirmed many of the things I do and believe in. The rugby program in New […]
Inner Alchemy by Dr Jodi Blinco
One of my favorite leaders and mentors, Dr. Jodi Blinco, wrote a book – Inner Alchemy. She was one of the impactful leaders early in my career. She also delivered a fantastic workshop for one of my teams later in life. And now I had the privilege to check out her book in advance. This […]

I wanted to continue to learn about change management as it’s always a hot topic and also inevitable for all of us. This book helps open up perspectives when dealing with change and learning new concepts on how to deal with it. The main theme the author shares is how to have a rugged and […]
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcom Gladwell
I have always been a fan of Malcom Gladwell and had this on my list to read. It’s a book that shares various stories of people that had disadvantages. My favorite story was a girls basketball team that didn’t have the skills to play like the other girls so the coach focused on a full […]
How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge by Clay Scroggins
This book was on my radar for a while and I finally got around to it. What surprised me while reading the book was Clay’s humor when it came to growing up in the 90’s. Lots of references to similar things I went through such as the souped up cars era, hip hop music from […]
Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy
I read this book because AJ Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles was seen reading this on the sideline. One of my employees said we should read it so I grabbed a copy and bumped it to the top of the list. It reminded me a lot like Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle that I […]
