Book Recommendations

Bailey’s top book recs!

I always get asked about book recommendations, and I am always asking for them! So I compiled a list of my favorites that I have read as well as the ones on my list that often get recommended to me.

I’m going to start with my favorites, in no particular order and then offer some that I have yet to read, but get recommended often. I’m not in the business of novel reading, though I do from time to time. That is not this list. This list is hefty on the self help, I can do anything and want to be rich scale.

Podcast Recommendations

Bailey’s podcast recs!

I love love a good podcast. I am always searching for new, good listens, but here are my go-to favorites or have provided value in the past. And I’ll share a review for each, just because I’m feeling grateful.

You can click on their album art to go to their show page.


Business + Finance

Trading Secrets - Jason Tartick

Also a bachelor nation guy….but my favorite part about his content is he blows the cap off of “money talk is a fopaux”. He asks money questions and brings a lot of different situations to light. Influencers, reality tv, business, investing, ect. I also love that he got fired from a corporate job too. Too bad I wasn’t making 400K a year.

The Ed Mylett Show

I used to listen to his stuff often! Good for when you need a pep talk. His show is always mentioned when I ask for recs.

Goal Digger Podcast - Jenna Kutcher

This podcast was my jam in the ‘17- ‘19. She was one of the first to really amplify the idea of value based content and creating a business out of education. It’s incredible what she has done.

For Big Thinkers

Huberman Lab

Really just mind blowing. I have to be paying attention when I listed to this pod, but for good reason. He is really detail oriented and most of his content is science and data. But so good!

Joe Rogan Experience

It’s incredible what he has done with his podcast. From a business standpoint, it’s the highest earning podcast and still going strong. He has withstood the threat of being cancelled and owned up where needed. But remains unbiased (imo) and creates a great platform for conversations. Great for those seeking all different topics, perspectives and viewpoints.

For Creatives

505 Pod

I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon these guys, but I love their advice when it comes to freelancing, creating, and photo + video. Great for creatives and biz owners.

Spiritual

With So Much Love, E+O

My pastors! Gosh I love them. They show up so authentically and push the mark. They say what others wont say and lead with action and heart. I get so much from them. Highly recommend. 100/100.

The Basement with Tim Ross

So many good truth bombs in here. Tim supports s wide variety of guests and topics. He challenges the rigid structure of what religion tries to sell you. I often turn here when needed a little spiritual perspective.

Brilliant Perspectives - Graham Cooke

If you haven’t ever heard of Graham Cooke, I’m glad to introduce you. He is an incredible thought leader in shaping the nature of God and your God given identity. His accent makes everything hit your soul so much deeper.

Lighthearted + Fun

Off The Vine - Kaitlyn Bristoe

I keep coming back to this. I’m a loyal but long distance friend. When there has been some time, we always regroup like nothing has changed. I used to be prettty into the bachelor and bachelorette (I’m talking like Colton, Ben, Becca, JoJo, Peter Era…). But now, I just can’t. I can’t even. But I still love my OG’s and Kaitlyn is one of those.

She has really set herself apart from those who just used the show to leverage their influencing capacity and she has done great things. I haven’t tried Spade and Sparrows, but I LOVE Dewedit. I think she works hard and has her head on straight. And she keeps things fun. It’s easy to listen along.

Just Being Ernest

So I am really into the Nashville scene and what artists are doing. What writers are writing what and the uproar of the Wallen Era, ect.. So… that is why I love this podcast. I also think it exposes the creative process and the commitment to success even when it looks more like rags than riches. I love his writing style + music.

True Crime

I had to stop with the true crime, or at least back off a little bit. Having kids changes the level of which you can be triggered into a whirlwind of anxiety. But these are good shows, nonetheless.
