My next book, The Price of Becoming, will be out in a few months, available for pre-order right now at learningleader.com. But in the meantime, I've been sending it to authors that I really look up to. A lot of them have been on this podcast. One of them is Daniel Pink, best-selling author of To Sell as Human, Drive, Win, The Power of Regret, and many others. Just asked him what he thought.
Asked him if he'd write a blurb, an endorsement for the book, maybe one that I would put on the cover. And this is what he sent back to me. Dan Pink says, the price of becoming refuses to sell you a shortcut. Instead, Ryan shows how small daily deposits, 100 shots, 500 words, a single tough. conversation compound into something that looks like an overnight success to anyone who wasn't paying attention.
This is a clear-eyed, powerful book. I'm super grateful for people like Dan Pink to have read it and shared his thoughts. I would love it if you would go to learningleader.com and pre-order the book right now or just go straight to Amazon and pre-order the price of becoming. Thank you so much.
