Brett Trout joined our show recently to talk about all things IP, intellectual property, and IT, information technology and their issues for online business. You can listen here to our conversation.
Brett’s a practicing attorney and head of an AV-Rated law firm AV-rated Midwest law firm, that offers their clients the global perspective on Intellectual Property and Information Technology issues. AV-Rated means Brett and his law firm have been rated by their peers to be considered preeminent in their field.
He’s also the author of Cyber Law, a Legal Arsenal for Online Business as well as a long-time leader in the use of social media from back in the day. He’s authored a spirited, outspoken, candid blog at BlawGit.
Brett is a leader in so many areas in so many ways. I asked him:
You’re a leader. Leaders are readers, as Jim Rohn said. What are you reading these days?
And he answered:
I’m reading A Struggle for Power: The American Revolution, by Theodore Draper. I hate history. But this is such a riveting book. I can’t put it down. It’s a very long book and a real eye-opener for what led up to the American Revolution and it’s not what I was taught at school.
The other book is I’m a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter. It’s a book on the origins of consciousness.
They are kind of difficult reads but they pay off quite handsomely.

Leaders are readers. Read what they are reading. Learn what they are learning. And then you can catch up with them. Then you can start to lead from that starting point.
