Ripples Media has a new book out!

Hi friends,

I hope you’re all doing well this insanely hot summer. We’re looking to get out of this heat and head to Bar Harbor, Maine, later this month. If you have any advice on things to do there, let me know!

We published a new book!

I’m so excited to share that my small but mighty publishing company, Ripples Media, has just published our latest book!

You might remember our most recent launch, a book by Adam Albrecht called What Does Your Fortune Cookie Say? Some people have literally bought 20 copies so they could pass them out to their closest friends and family, so if it’s not on your bookshelf, you need to grab a copy!

As a media and publishing business, Ripples Media is focused on finding leaders who have a unique story to tell. My books focus on leadership and building great teams, while Adam’s book focuses on helping people live their best life.

This one is focused on creating an innovative organization, and is by first-time author (but longtime exceptional human being) Michael McCathren. The book is called: 6 Ps of Essential Innovation.

Michael is an innovation leader at Chick-fil-A and his book lays out a very approachable plan for creating the culture and capabilities of a resilient innovation organization. You can learn more by a) buying the book, please! or b) listening to the podcast I recorded with Michael about the book.

I hope you’ll consider checking it out, or possibly having Michael come and speak to your organization! He’s a highly sought-after speaker and consultant.

I’m also excited to share that we have three other books in the pipeline for later this year.

Speaking of books…

I’m deep into the editing of my next book, The Culture Turnaround. It’s a continuation of the leadership book series I’ve written over the last three years, and I’m expecting to have it published around November of this year. Stay tuned!

Most of all, I hope you're happy.
