Today I bring you Joshua Spodek, my first ever repeat guest. His insights into leadership were uniquely fascinating the last time back in episode #58 and he just launched his book, Leadership Step by Step, so I wanted to have him back on to talk about what we might learn if we buy it.

Josh is a professor at NYU and columnist for Inc.com, he holds five Ivy-League degrees, including a PhD in Astrophysics as well as an MBA, both from Columbia University, where he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He holds six patents. He leads seminars in Leadership, Creativity, Sales, Strategy, and Motivation at institutions including Columbia Business School, Harvard, Princeton and MIT.

His coaching clients include start-up founders as well as employees of Citigroup, American Express, Google, Yahoo!, Sony, IBM, ExxonMobil, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and many others. He has been quoted and profiled by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The Wall Street Journal and others.

He’s completed 6 marathons and competed at the world level in Ultimate Frisbee. His blog at JoshuaSpodek.com is for successful people who want to bring about more of that success.
