Monday Morning Radio Host Dean Rotbart confesses that he doesn't know who his guest is on this week's podcast.
It's not that Dean doesn't have a fascinating guest, or that the guest's book – "Undistrupted: How Highly-Effective People Deal with Disruptions" – isn't a valuable business read; it's just that Dean literally does not know who wrote the book.
The author, who lives in The Netherlands [Dean phoned him there], uses the pseudonym John Vespasian and has written ten books.
What Dean also knows is that this week's mystery guest is a well-read student of global history [think Russian industrialist Savva Mamontov (1841-1918), and 12th-century French statesman, Abbot Suger], and draws excellent insights from bygone eras that we all can apply to our lives today.
So Dean assures us that his guest has plenty of good advice to dispense; he just doesn't know who he's talking to.
