Personal & Personality books Growth Development

In my book ‘Good Listen: Creating Memorable Conversations in Business and Life,’ I share insights for creating compelling business coaching secrets podcast and fostering connections that resonate in work, love, and life—whether you’re behind a microphone or not.

Two million podcasts regularly entertain and inform listeners worldwide as hosts and guests chat and philosophize about business, sports, religion, true crime, politics, health, and countless other topics.

There’s always room for more—if you can find the right subject and understand what works when crafting a conversation meant for a wider audience.

In my book Good Listen: Creating Memorable Conversations in Business and Life, I share insights and knowledge on how to create a podcast that captivates listeners and keeps them coming back for more.

But you don’t need a podcast to benefit from my wisdom; my tips for connecting with others also apply to work, love, and life.

Drawing on my days as a New York radio personality, I weave in anecdotes involving Taylor Swift, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer, and Chris Martin to illustrate how interviews can go wonderfully right (Aniston) or terribly wrong (Swift).

In Good Listen, Joe Pardavila shares his wisdom and experiences on how talking less and listening more can have a profound positive impact on our personal and professional life. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the secrets of effective listening

Joe Pardavila has spent his career having conversations with fascinating people, and his knack for connection takes those talks into unexpected and engaging places. Let him tell you what he’s learned so that you can use it in your life and regain the human connection you’ve been missing. As you would expect from Joe, Good Listen is a very good hang.

Communicating effectively is a superpower. If you want to sharpen your skills, understand others better, and get your own message heard, Good Listen provides invaluable advice.

In a time when social media ‘conversations’ amount to 280 characters or memes, it’s reassuring to see that Joe is reminding all of us that there’s no innovation that can take the place of a meaningful, person-to-person conversation. He reminds us that curiosity, asking thoughtful questions, and being a great listener opens all of us to learning more and making meaningful connections.

Good Listen takes us on a jaunty adventure down the central path by which humans connect with each other—conversation—with an expert talker as our guide. Pardavila’s book is a ‘good read’ for anyone who wants to both smile and learn along the way

I’ve worked in the audio space from the days when it was only radio to today, when audio is everywhere and hotter than ever in these new smart times. This book shows why audio still matters, and despite the changes that have happened within radio, there is still an enthusiasm for the sound of sound. Joe shares his journey from the kid in college to today where he is recognized for what he was involved in creating and what his contributions have become. I’m honored to have been able to work with him and see firsthand the magic that he created.
