    Insightful and Engaging!
    First and foremost- Jeff Brown’s interviewing style is super engaging and he holds such a smooth flow in conversations making the listening experience enjoyable and the listeners wanting more! I loved the episode with Damon Lembi, the ‘Learnit All Leader’. In this particular episode the conversation focuses on self-improvement as a cornerstone for effective leadership which was particularly inspiring for me. 6/5 stars!
  • madi micucci
    Insightful conversations!
    I love that Jeff advocates for reading in the age of bite sized information! Recently listened in ep 490 with Damon Lembi and loved the conversation about making failure impossible by going all- in on learning.
  • MaryPern
    A wonderful podcast
    Love this podcast! Jeff's passion for literature and leadership is infectious, creating a space where listeners can embark on a transformative journey through the power of books. The engaging conversations provide a wealth of knowledge and practical takeaways for both avid readers and aspiring leaders. The interview with Damon Lembi was one of my favorite episodes yet!
  • caitlin dos ramos

Jeff hosts insightful conversations with business, leadership, and personal development authors. I love listening to conversations with such educational people, that I otherwise might not have heard of.

  • Robbiepolitico
    No solutions for distractions
    I like this show but the episode about fighting distractions was 45 minutes describing the problem—that everything is even worse than we realize, with no helpful tips. Took out the earbuds feeling bleak and hopeless.

    Read to Lead is at the top of my favorite podcast list. The show features some of the best authors of today, and Jeff Brown has a sixth sense for asking insightful questions that inspire compelling conversations.

    Warning: This Podcast Is Dangerous! But, I love it!
    How can one podcast impact my wallet so much? Beware! No podcast or person for that matter has ever motivated me to buy books more than Jeff Brown. And, I don’t regret it one bit! If one truly wants to tap into the leadership potential that’s inside all of us, then Jeff Brown’s Read to Lead Podcast is the one to listen to. The way Jeff reveals the insight into the minds of the authors behind these books pulls me in. Leaders are indeed readers, and I’m a better leader because of Jeff Brown and this podcast. I guess, now I have to buy his book, too! Boy, oh, boy! Thanks a lot, Jeff! 😉 - Kendall

    Long Time listener
    Remember listening, while driving to pick up my daughter at UNR, back when the episode count was in the double digits. This podcast has provided me years of insight and motivation. And has inspired me to purchase a number of excellent books. This is one of the best and most beneficial podcasts available.
  • Rachelrichards92
    Unique and inspiring
    So glad I found this podcast! The host Jeff Brown interviews authors from all walks of life. I found the conversations email parts intriguing, inspiring, and informational. I learn so much from the guests and am always looking forward to the next episode. Highly recommend!
  • Al Comeaux
    Love hearing about great books for leaders!
    Jeff’s Read to Lead podcast gives us all weekly food for thought from authors who write on topics that we must know about. As leaders, we need to expand, grow. There’s often no one left in our organizations to go to to gain that wisdom we used to get from our mentors. So here we get to learn from the latest books and decide whether something is worth further investigating. Thanks to Jeff for hosting this podcast.
  • Wordstreak
    Thoughtful and insightful host

    Loving Every Episode
    I look forward to listening to Read to Lead every week. Jeff Brown always asks great questions of the authors and helps the audience get to the heart of the author’s work. He keeps the show interesting by interviewing from a variety of areas of expertise: business, marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship, productivity, personal growth. I’ve bought so many books based on the recommendations from this podcast. If you’re a reader and a leader, this is THE podcast to listen to.

  • Loyal but losing patience
    Essential podcast for anyone interested in leading and learning
    Leaders are readers -- this is the thesis of the Read to Lead podcast. Host Jeff Brien does a wonderful job curating, interviewing, and bringing to life this essential discipline.

  • ShellyDoc
    LOVED IT (#239)
    Hey Jeff! Just heard your interview with Pamela Wilson:) Thanks so much for having her on your show and asking her to elaborate on the planning aspect of making content, (it was confirmation for me). Thank you, Michelle D.
  • Brenda Haire
    Taking authors to the next level!
    Jeff, thank you for what you are doing for authors! Heard you at the #ISC18 and your tips are so helpful!!! I love what you shared about your passion for reading coming late in life! Me too and now I’m an author! I appreciate all your pointers today!!
  • @AndresaldesTV
    Awesome!
    Great guests, books, and conversations! I listen in the gym and take notes all the time.
  • Srichards2
    Great Podcast !
    This is a fantastic podcast! Jeff does an amazing job with numerous topics and guests, and in each episode there are numerous nuggets you can take away and immediately apply to you, your life, and your ventures. I can wait to listen each episode!
  • Scorso0118
    Best Mentor Ever
    Jeff was referred to us as a podcast mentor by JLD of Entrepreneur on Fire...which is a high recommendation. He has helped us launch our own podcast and his own podcast has been an incredible source of inspiration and resources. As a fellow book nerd, I'm a huge fan and love getting to hear the insight and perspective of some of my favorite authors. I've also loved learning about new authors but my reading list is now miles long.
  • I am De Groot
    False advertisement :)
    Jeff claims to narrow our reading list. I didn’t have a reading list before I fell in love with this podcast!! Now I have a list of over 100 books! I can’t keep up! Great job Jeff, I love the way you ask your questions and lead the conversations. Asking them what else they want to add before moving on is a genius transition and I love the tips on speaking! Keep it up!!
  • StanSien
    Get to the heart of why the book was written
    The Read to Lead Podcast by Jeff Brown remains one of my must listen to podcasts. The duration of the programs are just the right length and Jeff’s ability to not just ask questions about the book but allow the author to tell their story is what makes this program standout compared to other similar shows. Jeff just asks the right questions. And he asks the author for what inspired them which further helps the reader. While the books focus on ‘business’ they range from leadership, freelance, productivity, etc it never gets dull or the ‘same old same old’. And has the diversity of authors from well-known to first time authors. Listen to a few episodes and tell me if you disagree.
  • Dr Sabrina
    So glad to have found this podcast!
    I'm thoroughly enjoying Jeff's interview style with these authors. This is a great podcast for discovering leadership books with an impact. Thank you, Jeff!
  • CalvinJamesMI
    Very practical and applicable advice
    I've been listening to this podcast for years and remain impressed as to how Jeff continues to find guests who have interesting and new ideas. Jeff is prepared, professional and always extracts value from every guest.
  • Christine McAlister
    LOVE this show and its host!
    What a great find! Read To Lead offers insight and inspiration on how to self-actualize and live the life of your desires. Thanks, Jeff, for this high-quality show and guest list!
  • S.Jaimes
    Truly inspired
    This is a must-listen-to podcast for me. Books have always been my greatest teachers and Jeff's show has become an essential tool for my staying on top and staying inspired.
  • Mark Deal
    Reading to Leading
    Not only does this podcast give you insight on some of the best business and personal development books... but also great insights from the authors themselves! It is apparent that Jeff does a lot of guest and book research before each interview. As an avid listener/ I really appreciate it!
  • Lora Ueland
    Number 1 on my podcast list

  • MaterPiesMom
    Always on point!
