Most people read to check off a list. Mary Jo reads to implement — and The Noticer by Andy Andrews is one of the books that changed how she connects with clients, leads her team, and shows up in every relationship she has.

In this episode, Mary Jo breaks down The Noticer and why every business owner should read it. The core idea is simple but powerful: people show you exactly how they want to be treated — through what they do, what they give, and what they value. Are you paying attention?

In this episode:

• Why reading 52 books a year is worthless if you implement nothing
• How to apply love languages to your client relationships (and why it works)
• The art of noticing what your employees, clients, and family truly value
• Real-life examples: a baking friend, a Christmas party, and a broken septic pipe
• The book about difficult people that frustrated Mary Jo — and why she doesn't recommend it
• Why you're allowed to quit a book that's not serving you

The Noticer — Andy Andrews
