Today on the Book More Show, we're talking with Dona Baker and Jeff Polovick about their experience writing books that serve very different purposes and how this led to a whole new service.
Jeff and Dona share a connection through Jeff's company, Driving Force, where Jeff's motivation for writing his book, Why Can't We?, was to document the challenges, decision-making processes, and lessons learned throughout his career.
Dona, who worked with Jeff for 12 years, reflects on her learning experiences and how they shaped her book, The Friction-Free Entrepreneur, that talks about the opportunities to maximize your energy and strengths as an entrepreneur by partnering with someone who can do the stuff you can't.
