Having a “hobby mindset” might seem the wrong way to think about a business, but when I saw Seth Godin’s take on it, it seems perfect for #audiobook #narration . Think about how you could bring a hobby mindset to your business. https://seths.blog/2025/04/hobby-mindset

Pleased to have been a guest on “The Grampion” podcast with author Jim Tracy. Jim has asked me to narrate his book “Building Men” which I’ll be doing over the coming days. Thanks for having me on, Jim - it was fun! https://open.spotify.com/episode/048bbNsJzMMzVMDnDoNsTH?si=BtVNnIoRQ-uVRNJ9Wf-Mvw

#TappedToNarrate: “The Art of War: A New Translation” by Sun Tzu. Honoured to have been chosen by Filibooks.com to narrate their edition of this classic of #Chinese #military strategy. https://www.amazon.com/Art-War-New-Translation-ebook/dp/B0DV23GPMX/ #audiobooks

More about this title:

The Art of War dates to the fifth century B.C and is arguably the most famous military treatise ever written.

Throughout its history, The Art of War has been highly influential. Figures as diverse as Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Chinese communist Mao Tse-Tung, and Finnish field marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim have cited the book as inspirational.

During the Vietnam War the book served as an inspiration and guide for the Vietcong, which brought the book to the attention of the American military.

The focus of this reworking is to preserve the original intent of Sun Tzu as closely as possible.

More about this book:

"Meditations" offers timeless reflections from Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This text draws from his personal notes, written as a guide to self-discipline, virtue, and tranquility. In these pages, readers find a direct and sincere voice, reminding them that inner calm is possible through thoughtful observation and purposeful action. Aurelius's stoic insights emphasize the importance of understanding one's own nature, maintaining rational composure, and accepting the realities of life. This new translation by Filibooks Translation provides a clear, accessible approach to the core of Stoic thought. Readers can engage with a practical philosophy that encourages responsibility and empathy, illuminating the path to living a balanced life.

#StorytellingQuote: “Great stories have this feature: To listen to them and learn them is to become their narrators. Our first response to hearing a story is the desire to tell it ourselves - the greater the story the greater the desire. We will go to considerable time and inconvenience to arrange a situation for its retelling. It is as though the story is itself seeking the occasion for its recurrence, making use of us as its agents." - James P. Carse #audiobooks

Meant to post this a while back. I finished initial recording for The Simplified King James Bible on Dec. 20, 2024. I began this journey June 2, 2023, pausing occasionally to work on other projects. Total run time, for the curious: 65:38:50. Currently working through pickups. Thanks to ONEAudiobooks for the honour. What an incredible experience.
