Summary
Buckle up for Episode 70 , where the trio takes on an Instagram-inspired "Blind Rank" challenge that nearly breaks the podcast. Tony ( Assured Security ) forces Lars ( Calgary Lock & Safe ) and Chad ( Loc-Doc Security ) to rank a list of 12 business and philosophy books without knowing which title is coming next. The result is a chaotic, high-stakes debate over the industry's most influential texts. From the "broccoli" of 4 Disciplines of Execution to the transformational power of Turn the Ship Around , the guys break down why certain books are foundational for new owners while others are designed for high-level strategic pivots. Whether you’re looking for a people management manual like Radical Candor or a "Bible of Capitalism" like Atlas Shrugged , this episode serves as your ultimate 2026 reading list. Plus, an intro from the "prehistoric" day-one listener, Ken Kupperman. Full Book List: https://www.unlockedpodcast.com/post/12-must-read-books-for-scaling-leaders-episode-70
