As part of the series, we also feature the theme "Read to Succeed", a short podcast where we ask those successful business people that are readers, whether they read a book that had a meaningful impact on their journey to success. What was it? What was it about and what were the key "takeaways" for them. It need not be a business book, but a book that made a difference. Not all successful people are readers but many are. Reading is a great way to up-skill yourself and learn from the experiences of others! Insights into Success is brought to you by Making Sense of Marketing where we take a "holistic" approach. In order to help solve our followers marketing problems. We recognize the importance of helping them in other ways, which can ultimately impact on their success with marketing.

    Never Eat Alone - Book Review

    Never Eat Alone - Book Review

    Welcome to this Read to Succeed episode where your host Paul Dodds shares his thoughts and key takeaways from the book "Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferrazzi.

    If you have never been into networking, then this book could be for you. Keith Ferrazzi is an exceptional networker. He is dedicated and strategic in his approach, but unlike most, he aims to give without any expectation of receiving.

    The book was written back in 2005 and along with remaining relevant to today, it gives a timely reminder to how far technology has advanced in the nearly 20 years!
