Hi, it's Mark Raymond here. 
Welcome to episode 329 of lean 

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,200
blog audio. 
It's May 3rd 2023. 

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:12,700
This is a post titled Kindle 
pre-orders, open for the 

4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:16,100
mistakes that make us enter to 
win signed paper back. 

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,600
So if you're interested in my 
upcoming book, it's available in

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,300
June, more specific date to be 
determined. 

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,200
That upcoming book again, is 
titled the mistakes, that make 

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,100
us cultivating, a culture of 
learning and innovation. 

9
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,200
Well, it's now available to 
pre-ordered through Amazon and 

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,900
that's the Kindle version of the
book. 

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,200
The date is set. 
Therefore the Kindle release on 

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200
June 27th. 
It will likely be available 

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,500
sooner Amazon and they're KDP 
publishing platform. 

14
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,800
They make it easier to pull the 
date forward. 

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,900
They punished you a bit for 
pushing a date back. 

16
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,300
And I guess that's 
understandable, in terms of, you

17
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,700
know, wanting to meet and not 
disappoint customers. 

18
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,099
And Meet their expectations. 
Not this point them, the book 

19
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:08,100
will also be available at 
release in paperback and 

20
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:11,200
hardcover formats. 
I'm also going to be working on 

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,800
an audiobook version over the 
summer for later release. 

22
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,300
Amazon also makes it more 
difficult for me to make the 

23
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,200
paperback or hardcover book 
available for pre-order. 

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,300
But again, I think it will be on
sale early to mid June so you 

25
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,500
can find it by searching my name
or searching the mistakes that 

26
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:33,200
make us. 
On amazon.com and maybe other 

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Amazon country sites. 
You can also find a link to that

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,600
at lien blog dot org, slash 
audio 329. 

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,900
And if you go to that page open 
through May 12th you'll find a 

30
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:50,200
link to a contest where you can 
enter to win a free signed copy 

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,200
of the paperback edition when 
that is available. 

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,400
And again that seems to be on 
track for June. 

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,000
I also want to share here a 
recent endorsement of the book 

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,800
from Billy Taylor. 
Great lean leader, I've met and 

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,100
interviewed. 
A number of times, he's formally

36
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,200
of good year. 
He's now doing consulting and a 

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600
lot of great work on its own, 
but here is his endorsement. 

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,400
After reading, the 
pre-publication manuscript of 

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,400
the book. 
Billy says, I can't recommend 

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,900
Mark, Ravens book, the mistakes 
that make us enough as someone 

41
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:26,500
who's made plenty of mistakes in
my own life and career, I found 

42
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,100
this book. 
Be a refreshing and honest take 

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600
on the power of embracing and 
learning from our missteps marks

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,900
candid, storytelling and 
practical advice, make this a 

45
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,900
must read for anyone looking to 
navigate the ups and downs of 

46
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,700
their own Journey, whether 
you're just starting out in your

47
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:44,200
career or a seasoned veteran, 
the book will inspire you to see

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,400
failure. 
Not as something to be feared. 

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000
But as an essential part of the 
path to success, this is a book.

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,200
I'll be recommending to 
colleagues and friends for years

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,400

Ray Taylor CEO of linked Excel. 

52

the book, The Winning link. 

53
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,700

that.
