John Hall, CEO e cofundador da Influence & Co, tornou-se financeiramente responsável graças a um livro

John Hall is the CEO and co-founder of Influence & Co., a tech-enabled content marketing agency.

Our interview uncovered a very interesting author that taught John financial responsibility, but also the book that brought to surface his… romantic side. You’ll also find out more about his reading habits and whose words he recommends to young people who want to become entrepreneurs. Happy lecture!

Qual é o seu livro favorito e por quê? Negócios e não-negócios, se possível.

Non-business – O caderno. Don’t make fun of me here, but I read it at a young age that I think aided in creating a little romance in my mind which I think helped me in my relationships and has benefited my marriage.

Business – Probably Give and Take by Adam Grant. It helped spark a helpful mentality in my life that has been invaluable.

Houve um momento, especificamente, em que algo que você leu em um livro o ajudou? Você pode me falar sobre isso?

I read a David Bach book that was given to me by my mother when I was a teenager. It was about personal finance and I remember reading it and promising myself I would be responsible with money moving forwards. That promise has been extremely valuable to me on my path in business.

Quais livros tiveram o maior impacto em você? (talvez mudou a maneira como você vê as coisas, mudou drasticamente sua carreira)

Essentialism – Great book that helps you focus on what’s important in your life.

Que livros recomendaria a jovens interessados no seu percurso profissional? Por quê? (sem limite de número aqui)

• 50 Signs You Know You Are An Entrepreneur – John Rampton and Joel Comm
• Giftology – John Ruhlin

Estou interessado em saber mais sobre seus hábitos de leitura. quantas vezes você leu? Em que formato?

I’m always consistently reading. I use apps like Newspick and others to stay up-to-date on news and knowledge being share. I’m also fortunate to lead a company that is surrounded by amazing content from clients and partners that come across my screen frequently.

Como arranja tempo para a leitura?

I travel a lot so I save reading for time on flights or stuck in an airport.

Como você escolhe quais livros ler a seguir?

I trust my friends and close relationships to recommend what’s most valuable to them an aggregate the choices. Then I’ll spend about an hour a month searching for new types of books/information that others might not see.

Você prioriza os livros recomendados por determinadas pessoas? Existe alguém que você considera um guru de recomendações de livros?

Not Gurus… people I know and trust.

Última pergunta: que livro você está lendo atualmente e o que você espera ganhar com isso?

Ferramentas de Titãs – Tim Ferriss. It was a gift so I kind of have to read it.
