Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 45:52 — 42.0MB)

Summer 2021 is nearing an end. Kids return to school in a couple of weeks. Last-minute vacations are getting squeezed into the schedule. Leo and I have had a less than regular podcasting schedule, but we’re preparing to get back in the saddle with a more predictable publishing calendar. Hopefully, you’ve had a great summer. Ours has been busy as Peernovation (both the book and the framework) has gained increased utility around the world. (In fact, here’s a sneak peek at the book cover design for the upcoming launch in China).

We hope you’ll buy and read Leo’s latest book, Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams. The Kindle version is just $3.99 (as we publish this today, July/August 2021) in order to make it available to as many people as possible. Buy it for you and your group or team members today. If you like to listen, the audiobook is available now, too!.
