Strategy and The Fat Smoker - New podcast episode available now

The seventh episode of my new podcast series, Strategy and the Fat Smoker, is now live and available for download.
 
The series is dedicated to exploring the themes found in my new book by the same name. Each chapter will be accompanied by an executive summary ebook covering the same material. I encourage you to forward these to friends and associates who may be interested in the topics covered. If you are already a subscriber to my podcast feed, this pdf will be available in your itunes.
 
This seventh episode, "The Friendship Strategy", looks at the parallels between building trusting relationships in business and building friendships in personal life. All too often, it seems that when people come to work, they leave behind everything they know about interacting with other humans.
 
We will look into the reasons why people neglect to use these lessons and what it takes to improve your personal and professional relationship-building skills.
