My guest today is David Shelley, CEO of Hachette UK, a publishing behemoth.
David is an anomaly. He is one of the rare few who run their ‘executive ships’ more like a Buddhist Millionaire than a ‘cut-throat suit’.
David came onto my radar when Hachette UK bought out ‘Short Books UK’ the company that published ‘How to be a Buddhist Millionaire- 9 practical steps to being happy in a materialist world.’
It was an end-of-year email sent to all Hachette staff and authors that made me realise not only was David not your typical ‘publishing boss’, but a one of a kind, considered, compassionate individual with both professional focus and a strong business moral code.
I didn’t expect the CEO of one of the largest publishing houses in the world to respond to my e-mail. Honestly, I thought a scary PA would intercept it and politely decline my podcast interview request on ‘Mr Shelley’s’ behalf.
I was wrong.
And this episode is the outcome.
Please take the time to like, comment and share this episode with someone you think might benefit.
We need your help spreading the Buddhist Millionaire word.
Lots of love.
Matt and the team x😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
