Steve D. Sims (host) unboxes and reviews a physical book titled "I AM LEADER" by Chris Collins. In this clip he introduces Collins (noting his experience with dealerships, entrepreneurship, and a distinctive personal description), explains that the book arrived while he was in hospital, and emphasizes the book's physical presentation (heavy, with large doors and a private note). The segment is primarily an informal unboxing and endorsement of the book's presentation and author credibility.
Chapters
Hey, how you doing? I wanted to do my first ever book, unboxing. No, this is not a pair of sneakers. There's a book in here. And it's actually done by the brilliant Chris Collins. If you don't know who Chris Collins is, Big lump of a fella, big blackbeard. He's got the most amazing collection of bulldogs, real ones. But he specializes in dealerships, services, and understanding the connection between the dealership and a client, making them into a very, very, very happy consumer. Known the guy for many, many years through Joe Polish. And he's done loads of books on the dealership. He's done one now on the alchemy of leadership, success and entrepreneurship. And quite simply, you know, he's very, very talented and credible enough to be able to do this. But he said to me, he said, hey, I've got this new book, you know, soon as you're in hospital, do you want me to send it over to you? And I was like, yeah, great. And I get a lot of books, you know, I'm sure most of you do. But then this thing turned up and it is, it is a big old lump of a book. So let's go through it because I wanted you to get not only to know about a book, know about Chris Collins, but how do you present your books? So you open it and straight away you've got these doors, okay, so let's get the book out.
You've got these massive doors. This thing's heavy. Trust me. You get this. A couple of little bits in here, a little private note for me, which I'm not going to read to you, but it's a pretty cool here, do not disturb. And here she is.
I am a leader, all right? And as I say, this thing is big. I've got to try and do it while being able to still keep everything going on.
All right, so what you've got is Chris has actually done this two book set and it's pretty. I got it and I made sure it went back into the, the wrappings in the exact same way because I wanted you to see the standard that he's actually done. This is a big book, but it's got big words, so you can actually go through it with. Without taking too long. But it really challenges you to be creative. It really challenges your mindset on being an entrepreneur. And I've got to admit, I've not seen it laid out like that before. The pictures are intoxicating. The way that it's been put out. It's more like a coffee table book than anything else. You know, you get these coffee table books with all these beautiful chairs, houses, cars, motorbikes. He's done it for leadership and entrepreneurship. So it's $250 a book. I do urge you to kind of like, at minimum, try and find a copy that you can flick through, because it is very, very interesting in the way that he's done it. Very thought, compelling. Got some great ideas out of it already. Chris, I wish you a ton of success. He doesn't actually even know I'm doing it because I've never done these, these things before, but I am Leader by Chris Collins. And I'm actually going to put a link so that you can actually find your copy. But, Chris, well done. He's just released it. And I wish you all the best with a book release.
