From a bookstore in a hair salon in 1927 to a world dominating force in 2019 in getting books into the hands of readers while supporting the authors, Porchlight Books, formerly 800CEOReads, takes a chance on a name change. Sally Haldorson has worked at 800CEOReads for over 21 years and for the last four years she has been at the helm. How do you navigate and thrive in a world where, as Sally puts it, "Amazon Happened"? I love when I get to interview people in the trenches. The ones doing the work everyday. The ones who are not just though leaders but leaders in every sense of the word. In the world of publishing many companies come and go and few thrive AND are considered leaders in making a difference for their employees and their clients. Porchlight Book Company and Sally Haldorson are the real deal in the world of publishing. They make things happen for authors and their clients. They also have their own Business Book Awards and a highly sought after bestseller ranking list. So why change your name and risk losing the momentum you have build to decades? Take a listen as Sally shares with us the why and the how behind the change. She also shares why she feels books are like concerts and how selling books should be like selling tickets to a concert. You get more than just the music at a concert and readers need to get more than just the book to build raving fans. Sally Haldorson is a 25-year veteran of bookselling and a live-long lover of books. Her first job post-college (English degree, of course) was working for the now-defunct B.Dalton and then supervising at their short-lived children’s store P.B.Pages. After attending graduate school in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it was her husband’s turn to return to school, so she once again turned to bookselling, taking a job in 1997 at Schwartz Business Books, one of 9 stores owned by Milwaukee’s independent bookstore chain, the Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops. The Schwartz family legacy had begun in 1927 as a publisher in the back of a hair salon and in 1984, in addition to many brick-and-mortar stores run by Harry’s son, David, had added business books as a concentration, lead by Jack Covert. Through the 21 years she has worked for the family as Schwartz Business Books later became 800-CEO-READ (to emphasize its business concentration) and has now rebranded as Porchlight Book Company to represent its ability and desire to help sell and promote all types of books with large audiences, Sally has worked her way through all aspects of the company— customer service, operations, accounting, marketing, and now management—, and helped guide the company through external industry disruptions such as Amazon, the roller-coaster economy, and the emergence of technology in publishing, as well as internal change as the family was forced to close the bookstore chain itself in the late 00s and retirements have instigated changes in leadership in the most recent decade.  Working for a small, family company has also allowed Sally the opportunity and flexibility to give attention to her own family. When her son was born on 2005, and began to show signs of ill-health and disability, the company adapted to the demands of being a mother to a special needs child and offered her work she could do from home—during those years, she helped Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten (then 800ceoread’s General Manager) write and publish the book The 100 Best Business Books of All Time with Portfolio now in its 3rd edition and having sold over 30,000 copies. She became General Manager of 800-CEO-READ in 2015, the same year Sally’s husband was diagnosed with leukemia at age 47. With the company's support Sally was able to manage both her family’s needs as well as the company’s growth as 800-CEO-READ moved into a new building with the space to expand its logistics capabilities and staff.  2019 has brought about even more change as Sally and new CEO Rebecca Schwartz have led a re-brand with new technological infrastructure to enable the company to contribute even more to the authors and publishes who bring great work into the marketplace of ideas. In her “spare time” Sally has drafted a memoir titled Brave as Stars, and you can find her work at sallyehaldorson.com.

He regularly speaks and consults with companies, both large and small, about how to develop practices and systems that lead to everyday brilliance. Todd’s work has been featured by Fast Company, Fortune, Forbes, HBR.org, US News & World Report, and many other major media outlets. Todd’s book, The Accidental Creative: How To Be Brilliant at a Moment’s Notice offers strategies for how to thrive in the creative marketplace and has been called “one of the best books to date on how to structure your ideas, and manage the creative process and work that comes out of it” by Jack Covert, author of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.   How Todd Henry got to where he is today: (2:39) Todd studied marketing in college, then did a tutorial video in a music business class and ended up as a creative director for an organization where he grew and lead a team of people for several years. And in the midst of doing that, he was also connected with creative community in his home city to designed brand firms, designed agencies and others. As a leader, he kept his team engaged and creatively fresh. He performed research and investigated how leaders or highly productive and creative professionals produce consistently great work and get the best out of the people.  In 2005, he created a podcast to talk about “accidental creatives” and from that conversation he continue to grow and grow and that eventually lead him to launch a business where he worked with organizations to help them generate ideas, better manage their creative process and organizational rhythms which also lead him to create a book in 2007.  That book was entitled The Accidental Creative and 2013 he wrote Die Empty, his most recent book which will be launched on 2015. Accidental Creative: (8:20) Todd’s first book, The Accidental Creative: How To Be Brilliantat a Moment’s Notice offers strategies for how to thrive in the creative marketplace and has been called “one of the best books to date on how to structure your ideas, and manage the creative process and work that comes out of it” by Jack Covert, author of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time and founder of 800-CEO-READ. Todd says to focus in on your most critical work and to reclaim your attention. Develop stimulating relationships that will lead to creative insights.  Effectively manage your energy so that you are always ready to engage, and curate stimuli that help you stay mentally focused. Leverage your hours wisely and effectively to eliminate creativity drains. Todd’s latest book Die Empty: (20:22) Die Empty is a tool for people who aren’t willing to put off their most important work for another day. Todd Henry explains the forces that keep us in stagnation, and introduces a process for instilling consistent practices into your life that will keep you on a true and steady course.  The hard truth: sooner or later all of our tomorrows will run out, so how we choose to spend today is significant.  Each day that we postpone difficult tasks and succumb to the clutter that chokes creativity, discipline, and innovation results in a net deficit to the world, our organizations, and ourselves. Unleash Your Best Work Every Dayunlocks the forces that cause even the brightest, most skilled people to become stagnant in their life and career, and introduces practices that help them build a body of work they can be proud of. It was named by the editors at Amazon.com as one of the best books of 2013. Best Advice: 52:58 “Don’t take your best work grave with you.”   Links: Todd Henry’s website The Accidental Creative book (Amazon link) Die Empty book (Amazon link) @toddhenry @beaccidental

My love of books goes back to when I was about three years old.As soon as I could form the sentence "I want to go to the library," my Mom or Dad would take me every week to get a new stack of books.  I remember the smell as I entered the San Anselmo library and strolled through the aisles.  My senses tingled as I saw new stories, and I would have to negotiate with my Mom and Dad about how many I could carry home in a given week.This love stayed with me my entire life.  Picture books turned into Miss Piggle-Wiggle, then the Chronicles of Narnia, then books about world mythology, then school books, then a phase of intellectual books to convince myself that I was smart like The Archeology of Knowledge by Michel Foucault.About fifteen years ago, I fell in love with business books and have never looked back.  I never tire of reading new ideas and insights for how to start and run a business.But the volume is overwhelming.Todd Sattersten, President of 800CEORead, co-authored a book with Jack Covert called The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.I jumped on the chance to talk with him about the book, since I was really fascinated to understand the process by which they selected the very best business books.As an author, I was excited to learn the criteria they developed to select one hundred books from the hundreds of thousands in the business category. The criteria were:Accessibility: Is the book understandable, easy to read, engaging?Applicability: Does it apply to today's business environment?Quality of Idea: Would we do this in our own business? Favorite quotes from the podcast:"I am amazed at how often authors overestimate their ability to be writers.""The best books offer a promise to readers: This is what you are going to get out of the book."Listen and learn! And buy the book here.  This one's a keeper!
