In this episode, Bill and Marty discuss writing, coaching, and leadership. Marty shares how he first began writing seriously during his dissertation in Germany and reflects on discouraging academic feedback that shaped his path. They explore how his self-published book “Listen… Till You Disappear” grew from coaching entrepreneurs and his belief that deep listening is the foundation of business and leadership. Marty also talks about his book “Leadership as Relation” and his motivation to respond to today’s leadership crisis.
