The M.A.P. Maker Podcast

Bob Burg: Co-author of The Go-Giver & author of Endless Referrals

...one of the nicest comments that John and I would get when we sent the manuscript out to a lot of business leaders to get their comments and critique was, thank you Bob and John for sharing something that successful people already know, but that most people will never accept.

~ Bob Burg, co-author, The Go-Giver

Within three weeks of being published, The Go-Giver hit number six on the Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller list. The book has won praises from thought leaders like Michael Gerber, Stephen Covey, and Seth Godin.

In this podcast, co-author Bob Burg (who wrote The Go-Giver together with John David Mann) offers an overview of the "Five Laws of Stratospheric Success" outlined in the book.

He also shares choice insights like:

• How he has faced fear and failure and come out on top.
• What he knows now that he wished he knew twenty years ago.
  
• Key factors in his own success.

No stranger to success even before The Go-Giver became a bestseller, Burg is also the author of the book Endless Referrals, which has sold over 175,000 copies. As a speaker he has shared the stage with people like Zig Ziglar, Larry King, Brian Tracy, and President Gerald Ford.

Brian Johnson: Entrepreneur / Philosopher / Founder of Zaadz & thinkArete

When you truly go inside [yourself], and you bring the business idea out, that's social entrepreneurialism. Because I think when we're operating from that perspective, it's very, very difficult not to want to do something that benefits humanity, and that really serves the world, and that is for something bigger than just yourself.

~ Brian Johnson

When Brian Johnson founded Zaadz, a social networking site for people who want to change the world, it was an outgrowth of his dual nature as a philosopher and an entrepreneur.

As an entrepreneur, he loves finding a need and building a business to fill that need. But for Brian, that's not the whole picture. The opportunity also has to speak to his heart.

As a philosopher, Brian loves delving into the wisdom of the great thinkers. But he isn't just interested in thinking grand thoughts. What he really wants to know is, how do I apply this to my life? How do these ideas play out in the real world?

By the time Zaadz was bought by Gaiam in August 2007, the site had reached 85,000 members. Today, Brian is applying both his philosophical and entrepreneurial sides to a new company, thinkArete.com.

Want to discover Brian's secret to navigating the transition from lost and floundering early on in his career to thriving in the midst of his bliss? How about how he maximizes the energy he has to put towards achieving success? You'll hear that and more in this podcast!
