I absolutely loved the way Tim structured this book into a really clear, step by step breakdown of how you can create a business or brand with Cult Status. All the case studies to explain each step were super interesting and inspiring! Tim has a really great voice that is calm and easy to listen to as he teaches and walks you through these steps, including the fantastic IRL (in real life) exercise sections…it’s SO GOOD!

A must read if you want to make an impact!

I really powered through this audiobook and loved every moment. It's easily understandable and would be enjoyable for both business veterans and anyone with a broad interest in the power of brands generally.

Plenty of case studies, great insights and practical ways to make them happen - it's spurred plenty of fantastic outside-the-box ideas that I can see myself implementing right away.

A must-listen for anyone wanting to understand how the businesses of tomorrow will thrive.

Best business book I've read in the last decade!

It stands to reason that a book about breaking the mould when it comes to business, breaks the mould when it comes to being a book about business.

This is a really well researched book, I really enjoyed the case studies and being from Sydney myself - enjoyed a lot of the little references to places around the city.

Looking forward to checking out Tim's next book.
