Take a Genius to Breakfast

10-Minute Lessons in Winning at Business, Life and Leadership From the World's Most Successful People

By: Andrew Wood

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if you could sit down each morning with the greatest minds in history—and walk away sharper, braver, and more inspired than the day before?

Take a Genius to Breakfast is your invitation to the most extraordinary table you’ll ever join. In short, powerful 10-minute chapters, Andrew Wood distills the wisdom of 60 remarkable figures—from Zuckerberg to Mandela, Stephen King to Armani, Marco Polo to Galileo, Jim Collins to Beyoncé—into clear, actionable lessons you can use immediately in business, life, and leadership.

This is not a book about idolizing heroes. Many of these figures were flawed, controversial, or wildly unconventional. But genius isn’t perfection—it’s perspective. It’s imagination with impact, pattern recognition, persistence, and the courage to see differently. Whether it’s Galileo turning a breakfast cup into a telescope or Anita Roddick bottling conscience, each voice at this table expands how you think, work, create, and lead.

Read one chapter each morning, or savor several at once. Follow the arcs across centuries and cultures—artists, explorers, emperors, scientists, entrepreneurs, rebels, and inventors—and discover the timeless patterns that unify the world’s most influential people.

Pour the coffee. Open your mind.
And start your day with the kind of company that changes everything.
