Less than two months until BookThinkers LIVE in Boston. The energy is building - and this week gave us a lot to think about, starting at 5 in the morning.
Here's what's going on:
⭐ Instagram Highlight — Have You Read This Book Yet?
This week Nick spotlighted one of the most impactful books in the personal development space: The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma.
The premise is simple but demanding - wake up at 5AM and spend the first hour of your day on exercise, reflection, and learning before the world gets its hands on you. Sharma calls it the 20/20/20 formula, and the people who stick with it swear by it.
What Nick said about Robin stuck with us: he works harder on himself than anyone else in any room he walks into. That's the kind of mentor worth following - not someone who talks about personal development, but someone who lives it without compromise.
If you've read it, you know. If you haven't, there's never been a better week to start.
Live Author Readings — John David Mann | Tomorrow night at 7 PM EST
Tomorrow night is the night. John David Mann — co-author of The Go-Giver, 4x New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most quietly influential voices in the world of business and leadership — joins us live for a reading and conversation.
The Go-Giver has sold over a million copies, been translated into 38 languages, and turned the word "go-giver" into its own movement. Hearing John read from it live is a different experience entirely.
Did You Know? Hundreds of Author Interviews on YouTube
The BookThinkers podcast gets a lot of attention - but the YouTube channel is sitting on something special that a lot of people haven't found yet. Hundreds of full author interviews, all in one place, completely free. Robert Kiyosaki, Robin Sharma, Nir Eyal, Steven Pressfield, and dozens more - the kind of conversations that normally cost a conference ticket to sit in on.
If you've got a commute, a workout, or a long drive coming up, this is worth bookmarking.
Podcast Flashback — Ep. 38: Robin Sharma | The 5AM Club
A perfect companion to this week's Instagram feature. In one of the earlier and most beloved episodes of the podcast, Nick sat down with Robin Sharma to go deep on The 5AM Club — the philosophy behind it, what the morning routine actually looks like, and why Robin believes the way you start your day determines everything that follows.
Robin has advised billionaires, Fortune 100 companies, and professional athletes. He's published in over 92 languages. But what comes through in this conversation is someone who genuinely practices what he preaches — every single morning.
July 11–12 is less than two months away. And every week that passes, the Boston lineup gets harder to ignore.
Jim Kwik. John David Mann. Jill Schulman. Markus Kaulius. Two full days of real conversations about books, ideas, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts - with 400+ authors, podcasters, and entrepreneurs who take this stuff seriously.
If Robin Sharma taught us anything, it's that the people who show up early - literally and figuratively - are the ones who get the most out of what's in front of them.
