On Books and People with Mark Matteson 116 episodes Latest Dec 12, 2025

Welcome to my podcast, Mark Matteson On Books and People. Over 20 years ago my publisher said to me, "You'll be the same person you are today in five years, but for two things, the books you read and the people with whom you associate." That simple idea changed my life and it can change yours. This podcast is dedicated to the notion that one simple idea from a person or a book can change your life forever. You might not be able to change destinations overnight, but you can change direction. This podcast is committed to just that inspiring you to change direction by introducing you to my influential friends and inspiring books.
