About the Author
Adam Ashton is the co-host of the What You Will Learn Podcast and is an account manager at AndMine, a full-service digital agency based in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.
The What You Will Learn Podcast:
We’re Adam and Adam, two Aussie blokes that love reading great books. Each week we share the best bits from the best books, and interview the world’s top authors. The books we cover can help you improve every area of your life, from your health to your wealth, from your relationships to your mindset. You’ll learn to pick up healthier habits, and drop the ones that are holding you back. We put the world’s best ideas within your reach, for a fraction of the time it would take to read the full book.
From the podcast “About” page:
After bouncing around between Uni degrees (physiotherapy, economics, finance) then bouncing around between jobs (corporate banking, transport and logistics, digital marketing), I found a lot of the answers I was searching for in books. My favourite books have helped me understand myself better and understand the world better.
I’ve learned about how to test out business ideas, how to better understand other people, and how the world actually is (not how I think it should be). Through reading books and turning them into podcast episodes, I’ve developed my confidence, my speaking abilities and have been consistently following through on a creative project over many years.
And, interesting fact – his book and podcast are alcohol-related – he and his co-author and podcast co-host met while working together in a pub!
