Listen on

Episode notes

Joseph Zeppilli went from jail and rehab after growing up in the ghettos of Montreal, to running a business that has become one of the largest popcorn manufacturers in North America.

In prison, he discovered a love of books. So we navigated his journey as a leader through the most influential books he’d read.

The Top 5 books:

Food Rules by Michael Pollan
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Your Next Five Moves by Patrick Bet David
48 Laws of Power by Robert Green

Topics we covered:

The key lessons he learned from the books
Real-life examples of how he applied the learning
What he did when he noticed production staff stealing free fruit
The big decision he made when he realised he shouldn't be CEO
