In 2008 a “little story about a powerful business idea” took the business world by storm with its message: that shifting our focus from getting to giving (constantly and consistently providing value to others) is not only a fulfilling way to live life and conduct business, but the most profitable way, as well. Rapidly going from national bestseller to global phenomenon, The Go-Giver soon gained a devoted following in more than 20 languages and with over 500,000 copies sold. From businesses large and small, schools, churches and hospitals, to law firms and information technology companies, individuals and groups around the world have applied the book’s Five Laws of Stratospheric Success within their organizations and businesses, relationships and personal lives. Today, it has grown into a worldwide movement. Join us as we talk to Go-Giver coauthor Bob Burg as he discusses how to create prosperity by sharing The Go-Giver Way of doing business and living life.

We’ll talk about the dynamics of two uniquely diverse people working closely together every day to create a shared vision and see that vision become reality. We’ll also challenge them as they embark on taking their practice to an entirely new level.
