On this episode of Best Seller TV, author Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, sits down with host Taryn Winter Brill to discuss his book The Toxic Overload: The Truth About Your Body’s Natural Defenses and How to Experience Whole Body Health. Dr. Maddahi had the impetus of writing this, his third book, when COVID began. He had amassed considerable research and decided to put pen to paper. The genesis of the book goes back to his keen interest on how the body responds to diseases and infections, to answer the question of how has humanity survived for thousands of years without modern medicine.

As a practicing dentist for over three decades, he said that dental research has focused heavily on killing bacteria, but there’s a flaw with that theory. He claims that seventy years of research is wrong and, “What we need to do is we need to not kill bacteria but rather neutralize the toxins of bad bacteria.”

The book focuses on rethinking what we know about inflammation, disease, and bacteria. Dr. Maddahi argues that there is no “safe and effective” product in the market right now that prevents the killing of good bacteria. Dr. Maddahi cites thirty years of research that shows a correlation between heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems, and other health problems, and gum health. Whatever happens in your mouth affects the rest of your body, he reasons.

On this episode of Best Seller TV, Amanda Holmes co-author of the revised and updated version of The Ultimate Sales Machine: Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies sits down with host Taryn Winter Brill to discuss the latest version of the book. The original book was published 15 years ago by her father Chet Holmes. As Amanda details, Chet Holmes was a self-made man who had a system for how businesses can double their sales which became the book The Ultimate Sales Machine and explains how his methodology contains timeless and proven strategies that just needed a little updating and refreshing for the changing business environment. After her father passed away Amanda inherited his company at the age of 24 and at this time, she had no formal training and had to dive into study and learn her dad’s book and methodology. Within the first year she stepped in as CEO the company increased their marketing reach by 1146% and doubled their clients in different divisions multiple years in a row. 

The revised and updated version of The Ultimate Sales Machine took four years to complete. Amanda talks about her why for updating and revising the book now which is in Chapter 13 and came out of the last few months of being in the hospital room with her dad and wanting to give him “the encore he could never give” focusing on how to live a rich and full life. She discusses how she found a letter from her dad where he talked about how he generated more wealth in six months than in the last eight years combined, Amanda calls this strategy “something very special” and says, “you will have to read the book to find out”. The strategies in the book that may seem outdated but as Amanda explains can really be applied to today’s world and just needed some updating to make them relatable. She kept what was most important but some of the other things needed some refreshing and her words are sprinkled throughout the book. She is coming from a belief that “we can double our sales while also cutting our stress in half if we just get focused, if we get clear, and if our intention is right”. Amanda also talks about what her father would be most surprised about in the book, how Chapter 7 needed to be completely rewritten, and the emotional digital foreword she recorded for her dad.

On this episode of Best Seller TV, author Chris Heller sits down with host Taryn Winter Brill to discuss his book “Dominant Thoughts: Things Grow Where Our Minds Go.” Heller wrote this book with Greg S. Reid after both of them were guests on a podcast. Soon after the interview, they decided to collaborate on this book – which took about a year to complete. Heller describes the book as a “business parable” inspired by books that left an indelible mark on him throughout life. The book features two main characters, Nick and John – one is a successful business owner who sold his business and the second character is a younger person he decides to mentor.

Each book chapter has a theme woven into the story – each with a dominant thought. That same thought is what Heller wanted readers to come away with after each chapter. He adds that while the stories and ideas in the book are very personal, the story itself is fictional. Heller wrote the book geared towards the up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Those in the 22-31 age group and for anyone starting out. However, it is also relatable to anyone currently in business, sales, or is an entrepreneur. Everyone, regardless of career status, will get value out of the book.
