Today our classic book is Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll + Mister Hyde. It’s not a business book – but if it was… surely it’d be a CEO handbook?
Join Biz Book regular, Ron Tester + I as we unpack how the creation of pure evil sounds just a little bit like running a pan-global corporation…

In this special 50th episode, I thought we’d do something a bit different. I’m sharing two stories – one of which is from my forthcoming book – Think Like a Film Crew. It’ll have you on the edge of your seat. And might even put you off doughnuts - I didn’t eat another one for over 10 years.
And so it’s more than just tales of patisserie trauma, I’ve brought in storytelling expert Marsha Shandur - she breaks down the science behind why these stories work and offers actionable tips to make your own business stories even more engaging and impactful.
Join us for giggling, foolishness + how a womans’ exercise leggings shocked me more than I could say.
Marsha is an author, skilled persuasive story coach, sales expert and host of True Stories (Told Live) in Toronto – which if you possibly can, do try and get to one of their events.

Today we have copywriting expert Rachel Allen in the studio sharing books that’ll have you sounding just like you online. Because there’s nothing worse than looking at what you’ve written for your biz + realising it’s stiff, overly formal or just plain… not you.
All today’s books are good but do listen for the one that explains the line from when people got online, to their internet ‘dialect’. Fascinating

Once again, we’re taking a book that most definitely is not a business book and dissecting it as if it was. Foolish, I hear you cry – thing is, for once this book is actually about a business.
Sure, most of the focus is usually on the elves – but for our purposes, there’s as much going on in the shoemaker side of things. Quite frankly, elves or no elves – this is no way to run a business. Come on in and see if you agree.

If you’ve been listening to this series – you’re probably beginning to seriously think about writing a business book. Huzzah. However, much as we think a book can be incredibly helpful for your biz - did you know, it’s possible to go to all the effort of writing a book and for it to not actually help your business at all? Yikes!
That’s why I’ve got Biz Book regular, Ally Machate, back in the studio to talk us through how it all goes wrong + how to avoid it. And I check that my own book, Think Like a Film Crew doesn’t make these mistakes. Actually, it kind of does… but it might be ok. I’ll fix that before it comes out end of the year.
And if all this has whetted your appetite for more – do look more shows in this ongoing series, ‘Your Biz Needs a Book’.
