Hot Business Books in 10 Minutes

Have you ever wanted to sit down and read a business book, but didn’t have the time? Imagine if you were able to get through the key concepts of Best Selling business books in ten to fifteen minutes. Now imagine if somebody was telling you about those key concepts in everyday language with engaging visuals. Pretty cool right?

But wait… there’s more.

Now imagine that somebody was talking to you about the hottest business books on the market, with engaging audio and video, in ten to fifteen minutes… absolutely free of charge.

Impossible?

Not anymore

At one time, I thought that it would be. Then along came Steve Cunningham and read it for [dot] me, an awesome concept that brings the power of video to the great business books of our time. But when I say video, I don’t mean footage of Steve standing up at a podium lecturing about hot business books. I’m talking about multimedia. Icons that let you understand where you are and where you’re going, visuals that attract attention and accentuate Steve’s message from the book, along with compelling audio that sets the mood.

It all adds up to a rock solid learning experience on the web, and puts the media in social media. If you don’t believe me, then click on this video overview of Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers (one of my personal fav books):

Internet Stalking

I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Steve over the phone today, and I really enjoyed the conversation. We seem to share a similar vision around innovation and the social internets. What was really cool about the experience to me though, was the stuff that happened before today happened. After I watched almost all of his videos and connected the dots on exploring a possible business relationship, I was able to reach out to him on both LinkedIn and Twitter and get a response back within 10 minutes.

On a Saturday…

We then set up a time to talk today and it was great. I could go on about that being cool on so many levels, but what I think is particularly great about this kind of experience is the value it brings to my professional life. I’m out on the web looking at stuff all the time. And now I am able to easily meet people who do impressive things and set up meetings with them to talk turkey.

What kind of competitive advantage does that give me as an employee of a large organization? I think that’s an important question.
I’m just starting to get the hang of it, and openly networking with cool people on-line is a great train to be on. Anyway, Steve if you’re reading this – it was great to meet you over the phone and I hope to be able to drink a Molson with you some time in the future. I’m going to tell all of my friends about readitfor.me because I think that what you’re doing with it is awesome.
