Why do we hurt, feel self-doubt and constantly struggle throughout life? What does it take to overcome all the obstacles? The bottom line is that hardship is a part of life, but only by facing up to it and learning to tackle all of life's challenges will we achieve our full potential. So how do you do that? With resilience.Author Eric Greitens, in his correspondence with fellow Navy SEAL veteran Zach, tries to find the qualities, practices, and training needed to become resilient against the harder parts of life. His search took him through history, philosophy, and beyond. Ultimately, it seems the ancient struggle we face as humans has a solution that's equally ancient.

Episode 49: On today's episode of the podcast, I chat with my longtime friend who is a grit and resilience extraordinare. Blake Thiess is one of those individuals who has a light about them that's undeniable. I remember meeting him for the first time and was instantly drawn to his positive energy and zest for life. This interview is no different. You can feel his passion for serving the world and helping others land their dream job in this interview. Blake shares why building and maintaining resilience and grit are crucial components to your success in a career, a relationship, just about any aspect of your life. The beautiful part? It's simple yet so effective. So many times we get caught up on why we don't have something we want. This can result in jealousy that others have what we want and it leads us down a negative dark hole. Today, I'm happy to say that Blake will bring you the light and help inspire you to take a little more structured action on a daily basis to move you closer to whatever it is you want. I can't wait for you to hear this episode, so lets head over to the show!

Matt's annual, "What he read in the year" episode is here. This is a great place for a filtered reading list. Some familiar authors in this list and some you may not have had a chance to read. I love the One True Barbecue and how it applies to business. Have recommendations? Add them in the comments. Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade by Robert Cialdini Anything on the science of influence is absolutely fascinating to me – whether it's about influencing fans, customers or myself. Cialdini's book Influence is a classic, and this sequel/prequel is a must-read to understand how your sales team (and marketing/content teams) can set the conditions for influence and conversion better in 2017. The Only Sales Guide You'll Ever Need by Anthony Iannarino If it weren't for all the other great sales books on the market (this year and in recent years), I'd say the title of this book is 100% the truth. Anthony is one of the very best sales bloggers and speakers working today, and this book summarizes much of his very best advice. I highly recommend expanding your sales library, but if there is just one book on the shelf, this should probably be it. The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute by Zac Bissonnette A fascinating and fast read, with numerous business lessons included. What differentiates a trend from a fad? How can you tell you have something sustainable and repeatable? The story of the rise and fall (both fast & dramatic) of the Beanie Baby craze is chronicled with a great combination of business advice and juicy insider stories. A fun read with value. High-Profit Prospecting: Powerful Strategies to Find the Best Leads and Drive Breakthrough Sales Results by Mark Hunter The most important, eternal, fundamental sales skill is prospecting. Whether you're working ice-cold leads or warm inquiries from your marketing team, you're still prospecting. Activity and volume isn't enough. This book features new trends and research, plus a proven framework of habits to accelerate your sales pipeline-building results in 2017. More Sales, Less Time: Surprisingly Simple Strategies for Today's Crazy-Busy Sellers by Jill Konrath Every one of Jill's books have been fanastic, but this might be her best yet. She's previously covered how to work with crazy-busy buyers, now she addresses the problem every single sales rep I know has – how to make best use of their time to increase active selling time, external impact and results. The One True Barbecue: Fire, Smoke, and the Pitmasters Who Cook the Whole Hog by Rein Fertel I'll give away the punchline – according to Rein, the only “true” barbecue is 1) whole hog, 2) cooked over wood in 3) a masonry pit. A difficult combination for amateur BBQ enthusiasts to replicate, but this amazing book covers the history of whole-hog BBQ while simultaneously covering the history and anthropology of the Carolinas. If you like BBQ or history or good story-telling, you'll like this book. Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight What separates this book from so many other business autobiographies is its focus, candor and detail. It's not an ego-driven puff piece, nor does it sugar-coat what growing a business is like. The book starts with Phil's inspiration to start the business, and ends before the IPO. In between, he highlights the numerous times Nike almost didn't make it, almost ran out of money, almost went out of business – yet somehow figured out (or stumbled into) how to keep moving forward. It's a story of humility and gratitude. One of the best books I've read on the real story of entrepreneurship in a long time. The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eli Goldratt This book was originally written in 1984, but I re-read it earlier this year to reinforce Eli's Theory of Constraints. Think about your business today – what's the #1 constraint keeping you from growing, that when alleviated would help everything else work more efficiently? This book is a great example of business fiction (if you've read Five Disfunctions of a Team, you know the format). Spinach in Your Boss's Teeth: Essential Etiquette for Professional Success by Arden Clise This book is a differentiator. It covers what all too often is a lost art of habits, manners, mannerisms and more that get noticed, differentiate you as someone special, and can material help you win more business. Maybe not on your “mainstream” business reading list but it should be. Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life by Eric Greitens Published as a set of letters to a struggling and fellow former SEAL, this book pulls deeply from ancient literature and lessons on what resilience means, how it applies to our lives, and how to apply it to make ourselves better – personally, professionally and in all points between. This is the last book I read this year and might be my favorite of the bunch.
