Z-isms 5th Anniversary Special

The show is BACK! Following a record hiatus, Matt reemerges to explain where he’s been, what’s happened since, what’s occurring now and what lies ahead. These include his relocation, progress with THE BRIGHT SIDE (newsletter for LinkedIn), two high-profile upcoming presentations, show plans for 2025-2026, and a special announcement in concert with Z-isms turning 5. The reveal: the audiobook is about to grace the podcast. 0:00 – The ITLB Sabbatical 1:30 – COVID Reflections 2:32 – The Queen City 4:20 – Looking on The Bright Side 6:43 – The Big Events 9:18 – Anniversary Announcement 10:25 – Matt’s Focus 12:49 – Future Episodes 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!
