7 years ago I was reading "The Go-Giver" book on my way to work and little did I know that one Linkedin post would lead me to Bob Burg, the coauthor of this bestselling book.

"The Go-Giver" is not just a book, it is a roadmap to creating a business or career rooted in value and impact on others.

Not until recently, while I was preparing for this interview and rereading the book, have I realized that the 5 laws of stratospheric success are embedded in the framework of my work.

He shows that companies both large and small that conduct their businesses “The Go-Giver Way” are not only of much greater value to their customers; they are also significantly more functional, and profitable, as well.
