Books by Monty Moran

Love is not what you think.

For Monty Moran, love is synonymous with truth and God, and leading with love in every interaction unlocks a brilliant life. Each of us has the capacity to open ourselves to the love that is the underlying power of the universe. When we do, we gain extraordinary wisdom and connect powerfully with our partners, our friends, in professional environments, and even with strangers.

This book is about finding your brilliance: unleashing a fullness and radiance you would’ve never thought possible. Our society, our upbringing, our culture, and even parts of our psyche often stand in the way of making ourselves open and vulnerable. But with awareness and compassion toward ourselves and others, we can learn to lead with love.

In No One Is a Stranger, one of America’s most successful businessmen gives an unexpectedly raw, vulnerable, and honest account of how an open, curious, exposed heart is the key to a rich and fulfilling life. No One Is a Stranger is an uplifting message from an unlikely messenger.

Imagine you're one of 75,000 people working in a huge company, and the CEO wants to talk to you, one-on-one, to get to know and understand you. That's what Monty Moran did 20,000 times as he built the extraordinary culture that took Chipotle Mexican Grill from a regional burrito chain to a Fortune 500 superstar. In Love Is Free, Guac Is Extra, Monty shows how he used curiosity, vulnerability, love, and a unique understanding of the true meaning of empowerment to build a distinctive and wildly effective culture. From his teenage days befriending homeless people at a Colorado Dairy Queen to his nuanced navigation of a complex co-CEO relationship, Monty demonstrates a relentless humility and desire to understand the person across from him. This is not your average leadership book. This is a book about business leadership executed in a way you've never encountered before, by becoming the best version of yourself.
