Our podcasting journey began with Year Of The Peer Podcast (influenced by Leo’s first book, The Poer of Peers). That podcast gave rise to Leo’s second book and our second podcast season, What Anyone Can Do. Now, we’re rebranding the podcast to reflect Leo’s upcoming third book, Peernovation.

Our first guest is Craig Weber, author/speaker, and leader of The Weber Consulting Group. Craig authored Conversational Capacity and Influence In Action, books that provide valuable frameworks on how people can better engage in effective communication for improved performance.

Leo’s first book (a book co-authored with Vistage CEO, Leon Shapiro) was entitled The Power Of Peers. After the publication, our podcasting adventures started with The Year Of The Peer, our first iteration where we interviewed over 50 high achievers who taught us that peers should likely be viewed through a much wider lens. Every person is influenced by a variety of people who help us learn and grow. From those interviews, Leo was inspired to write his second book, What Anyone Can Do (a title taken from running coach Joe Henderson who observed that champions differ from others because they do what anyone can do, but most don’t).

Our individual and joint journey in pursuit of learning and evangelizing the peer advantage continued. We’ve passionately sought to learn more about how all of us can benefit by being more intentional and purposeful in making our circle of influence as useful as possible. It’s not just about our personal leadership, but it’s also about our joint cooperation to serve one another so we can all grow and improve.

During this pandemic Leo was able to complete his work on his third book, Peernovation. Due to be published this summer, Leo has narrowed his focus – and our focus in the podcast, too – to our most passionate pursuit, helping people learn and leverage the truth that who you surround yourself with matters!

The work isn’t limited to books and a podcast, but it encompasses all of our work. Within the last year, Leo has launched a new company, Peernovation, aimed at providing deeper insights and service to leaders, individuals, teams, and groups. Together, we’re taking a sharper aim as we follow our belief that together we can accomplish so much more, individually and together. Peernovation is a professional service provider helping leaders build and create more effective teams. Peernovation also serves individuals and organizations who want to achieve elevated personal and group performance.

Beginning next week we’re rebranding the podcast as Peernovation. Our first guest is scheduled to be Craig Weber, author/speaker, and leader of The Weber Consulting Group. Craig authored Conversational Capacity and Influence In Action, books that provide valuable frameworks on how people can better engage in effective communication for improved performance.

America is now slowly opening back up from the coronavirus pandemic. The past 6 weeks or so have provoked fear and uncertainty all over the planet. From school teachers to corporate leaders, from local city government leaders to factory workers, we’re all fearful about the present and the future. How long will this last? What will things look like once our lives resume to something more like our past normal? We have more questions than answers. Time like these can help us better understand the value of peers and others – people who can help us see things more clearly as together we try to figure out ways to build our brightest future.
