Take a Genius to Brunch

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 gather sixty of history’s greatest minds around one table—and walk away smarter after every conversation?

Take a Genius to Brunch invites you into a lively, surprising, and deeply practical meal with the thinkers, builders, rebels, artists, strategists, and visionaries who reshaped the world. In fast, vivid chapters you can read in just ten minutes, Andrew Wood distills the essence of each genius—Nietzsche, Springsteen, Vaynerchuk, Angela Merkel, Phil Knight, Cicero, the Buddha, Stephen Covey, the Wright brothers, Helen Keller, Elvis, Laozi, and dozens more—into lessons you can immediately apply to your business, leadership, creativity, and life.

This is not a book about perfection—it’s a book about power: the kind born from persistence, originality, courage, contradiction, and the refusal to accept limits. The geniuses here span centuries and continents—scientists and designers, emperors and entrepreneurs, musicians and mathematicians, athletes and activists. Some confirm what you already believe; others will challenge you, provoke you, or completely reframe how you see success.

Read a chapter a day or savor two at a time. Let Nietzsche shake you awake, Gary Vee fire you up, Springsteen remind you of the beauty in ordinary lives, and Copernicus tilt your perspective. Let Jung, Warhol, Lombardi, Mercedes, Stradivari, and Stallone each leave you with a new way to think, create, lead, solve problems, or simply live more intentionally.

Brunch is unhurried. Genius is timeless.
Pull up a chair—the conversation is just getting started.
