The Audiobook - Z-isms: Insights to Live By

BOOK CAPSULE: Richly authentic, deeply personal and highly motivating, Z-isms offers new ways to better ourselves, our experiences and our encounters. Matt keeps it casual, as though in private conversation with readers, freely sharing his life experiences as an entrepreneur, athlete, single parent, caregiver and nonprofit founder with practical insights and ways to help navigate and overcome common challenges we all face.

It’s also well-written, easy to understand, concise and often quite funny.”John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press “Matt Zinman has provided each and every one of his readers with a blueprint for success, both in business and in life."Susan Keefe, Midwest Book Review AUTHOR INSIGHTS by Matt Zinman The audiobook is considerably different from the written version. Being my personal story and knowing it could only be narrated by me, I couldn't bring myself to simply read into a mic. Instead, I converted each chapter into episodes of the podcast over time to be more conversational and then strung them back together. Finalized nearly two years after the paperback, I chose not to make it available commercially but rather exclusively in the training courses I'd since developed to help others build the skills to put the Z-isms concepts into practice with lasting effect. As the 5-year anniversary approaches in 2025, it's time to make the audiobook available to everyone. It may well be my proudest achievement to date. ENJOY!
