An important part of creating great thought leadership is consuming great thought leadership. Thought leaders tend to have high-quality information diets. They take in content that intrigues and inspires them to create their own. In this final episode for 2021, Jay and Tom discuss the people and work they found interesting this year, so you can add some new flavor to your diet. Plus, they share that registration for the Thought Leader Collaborative is closing at midnight PT on December 20th. Links for the “Lab” and all of the thought leadership - from books to podcasts - discussed in this episode are included in the show notes.
