Great advice.

Dana is so good at great advice and she sought wonderful insight from her colleagues and friends. So much to learn!

A great listen for leaders!

As a business leader, I picked up nuggets of knowledge related to business, personal life, and executive presence.

Good advice for a young person

Great book- but not for me at this time of life! Passed in to Daughter-

A gem in my life

I wake up every morning M-F at 7AM CST to be ready with my coffee at 8AM while watching the news with Dana and Bill.
I get my first news of the day.

Great assortment of advice!

Dana does a great job in gathering a lot of people’s experience. I wished she’d had each person verbalize.

Good for young people

My wife and I are huge fans of Dana. We have literally watched every episode of the five. Every episode. We DVR them so that we can watch them all. I love all of her works, and this book was good, but I would say it’s more intended for younger people. I am nearing retirement age and so it wasn’t as meaningful for me. I agree with everything that Deana and all of her contributors said. I also think they were all very generous to give their time to do it. I do think that the book should be billed as something intended for young people.

format all

all of the stories from all the contributors and clear and concise comments from others.

The narrator

This should be a must read by all high school and college students. Dana is a great role model.

I’m sure it will be Very helpful. It will be a gift for my granddaughter.

I especially liked that you included many different voices, asked similar questions of many people, as well as your own personal experiences and answers. I appreciate your diligence and work ethic in all your different positions or posts. Watching Fox for only a short time, makes me alittle familiar with the people in your book. I like them too.

Great advice!

Excellent book with high quality advice from a variety of people that are well known. If you are making changes in your career or just begining, you need to read this book!
