This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 371.

Too many people wish that their dream is going to come true and they think, boy,

at that moment ever presents itself, I'm going to go all out.

But you can't wish or you can't wait.

When we read about a successful person, their accomplishments are often painted as a one

and a billion anomaly, a lightning strike of genius or opportunity. The reality, though,

is your professional success is within your control. Hi, welcome to the Read to Lead podcast,

the podcast dedicated to your personal

and professional growth. I'm Jeff Brown, and I believe that if you want to achieve true success

in business and in life, then guess what? Intentional and consistent reading is a must. To help

you along with that, we're joined each week by another author to chat about their latest book

and their insights on things like personal and professional growth, leadership, productivity, career, business,

marketing, sales, entrepreneurship, and more.

Today we are being joined by returning guest Jim Roddy as we dive in his new book,

The Walk On Method, 31 underdogs who became extraordinary.

I'll ask Jim to share about the genesis of his walk-on framework, each of the five steps of the framework,

ways he's going beyond the book to teach his framework, and much, much more.
