This is what goes back to what we were talking about earlier about the past. That was something you did. It is not what you are doing.
This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping necks and cashing checks? Well, it starts Right About Now.
What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. We're always giving you what is here, what is now. And hey, we know they're right. We brought them on the show. We know they're right. So we want them to be right to you. I'm Ryan Offord, your host. Thank you for making us number one. It's never lost on us that we are number one on Apple marketing. We got the fastest growing YouTube channel.
We know what's happening because we are bringing people like author and professional award-winning speaker, Gene Sparrow. What's up, Gene?
Hey, Ryan, thanks for having me on.
My pleasure. You know, I like to think of myself as fearless.
You seem like it to me. You seem like it just from the conversations we've had and what I've seen online of you and what you have done. Yes, sir. I would say fearless would be a very good adjective for you. And authentic, too. You seem really real to me. I mean, if it's not, you're doing a damn good job of acting.
I'm not a good enough actor. Just me, baby. Fearless Authenticity is her latest book. Lead better, sell more, and speak sensationally. We'll get to that in a minute. But, Jean, what's happening today? What's new?
Oh, man. The book is, well, I just celebrated my 55th birthday. The book came out two days before my birthday, and it is a surreal moment, Ryan. I never thought I'd write a book. But my work led me to this point where a book was the best way for me to kind of explain how I think about things. And when you commit to a book and you actually have it physically in your hand, it's a whole thing.
