Explain This Book To Me
In the Explain This Book To Me podcast, host, Joshua Lipstone sits down with authors, thought leaders, and visionaries to explain the book to the Loyal Readers and ask the guest the questions that we all have. The genesis of the podcast came from Josh's desire to improve himself and better his insurance agency. As he began to read books on leadership and sales he was left with almost as many questions as he had when he first opened the book. Thus the idea of creating the podcast came to be and he has the privilege to learn directly from those he aspires to be like.
