## Resource

Ron Tester is back for another History Pop-Up. This month as well as Ron's usual book on the great men of history (if you know, you know) we cover the author who created the entire true crime genre + visit ancient Athens. We also cover a short book that manages to squeeze in 500 years of art history + be funny as it does so. Which nicely balances out an enraging book about London. Ron kindly lets me vent. Such an annoying book, such a kind Ron. Look for more History Pop-Ups - roughly every month Books discussed in this episode: Jefferson, the Art of Power - Jon Meacham In Cold Blood - Truman Capote The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for a Good Life - Bettany Hughes Venus and Aphrodite - Bettany Hughes London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City, A Family's Search for Truth - Peter Raiden Keith Empire of Pain - Peter Raiden Keith Say Nothing - Peter Raiden Keith Ron's Website: rontestercoaching.com ==== If you’d like my help with your Business go to www.lizscully.com/endlessClients ==== And don’t forget to get your reading list of the 10 essential reads for every successful biz owner - these are the books Liz recommends almost on the daily to her strategy + Mastermind clients.
