by David Burkus ; read by P.J. Ochlan ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2018
P.J. Ochlan narrates this well-researched in-depth look at how to build your network without attending a series of mundane events and pressing business cards into the hands of strangers. He uses a rapid, crisp style that mimics the fast pace of the business content he is delivering. Moving smoothly between anecdotes and research studies, he even maintains the flow when he's reading the web addresses of downloadable worksheets. His professional approach is in the manner of a seminar leader, which is essentially what the author seems to intend for the audiobook. Ochlan helps listeners make sense of a complicated set of rationale that explains how to create clusters, meet like-minded people, and achieve their goals.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

This audiobook deals with everything from the historic investments that led to world-dominating companies, such as the Chinese technology company Tencent, to predicting the products and services of the future. An audiobook of such complexity requires a narrator who can handle the task, and David Thorpe manages it admirably. Thorpe uses his masterly voice, which sits somewhere between that of a BBC World Service presenter and an easy, relaxed Home Counties accent, to guide listeners through a sea of numbers, acronyms, and terms such as YP, RPS, and market cap. Rather than simply reading, Thorpe presents the work with excitement and enthusiasm, and this enjoyment transfers to the listener.
