Be Your Future Self Now
Joseph Campbell once said that when you find an author who grabs you, you should read everything they’ve ever written. That’s exactly what happened for me with Ben Hardy. I’d read 10x Is Easier Than 2x and parts of The Gap and the Gain, but The Science of Scaling flipped the switch, and I went all in, joined his platform, became text buddies, and tore through every book he’s written. Ben is beyond the real deal, a rare blend of prolific craft, strategic clarity, and lived integrity. In Be Your Future Self Now, he distills cutting-edge research on prospection and Future Self into a practical operating system for intentional transformation. The punchline is simple and demanding: your future drives your present, hope gives your life meaning, and your job is to clarify what matters now, eliminate lesser goals, and ship imperfect work until your Future Self stops being a concept and becomes a fact. Big Ideas we explore include Threat #1, Truth #1, Step #1, Step #7, and The Most Important Thing.

The Science of Scaling
by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Blake Erickson
I got this book on the recommendation of a friend who’s a world-class branding expert supporting Heroic with how we communicate what we do. I started reading it while crafting our strategy for the next phase of Heroic and quickly realized this was not just another business book, it was an operating system. In The Science of Scaling, Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Blake Erickson distill the science of doing the impossible into a clear, disciplined framework for scaling businesses bigger and faster than you think possible. Big Ideas we explore include the Big 3 of Scaling (Frame, Floor, Focus), the four mistakes of goal-setting, using time as a tool to force better decisions, and simplifying your system so exponential growth becomes possible.
