This week on Life by Design, Dr. Robyne sits down with bestselling author, business development expert, and founder of Bunnell Idea Group, Mo Bunnell, for a thoughtful conversation about how to grow your business and career by building genuine relationships rooted in generosity and trust.

Mo shares the research behind why strategic givers often outperform their peers and why the most meaningful growth comes from serving others in intentional and sustainable ways. Together, they explore what it really means to give without strings attached while still being thoughtful about your time, energy, and boundaries.

You will hear practical insights and phrases you can use right away to offer value upfront, make confident asks, and nurture connections that evolve over time. Plus, how three relationship-deepening actions per week can spark momentum, broaden your positive influence, and bring new opportunities your way.

If you’ve ever struggled with the discomfort of selling or simply want a more relationship-centered approach to life and work, this conversation will transform the way you think about giving, asking, and building a path that serves both others and yourself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between traditional sales and a relationship-driven, service-focused approach to building business

• How operating from a place of abundance and strategic giving can break through scarcity mindsets and foster authentic, valuable connections

• Why the person who makes the most offers of helpfulness is going to win the most business almost every time

• How the highest performers know how to say yes (and no) and size their contributions thoughtfully

• Phrases and conversation starters you can use immediately to build momentum, suggest next steps, and move relationships forward

• Why focusing on three meaningful actions each week can transform your business and life
