Bob Burg on The Go-Giver Mindset & Timeless Success Principles
What Happens When You Stop Chasing and Start Serving?
In Episode 58 of Outside Insights, I sit down with one of the most influential voices in business and leadership—Bob Burg, bestselling co-author of The Go-Giver.
We dive deep into what makes success sustainable, meaningful, and surprisingly simple: giving value first. Bob shares the origin story of the book, how 24 rejections led to a global bestseller, and why “money is simply an echo of value.”
Whether you're leading a business, building your career, or looking to grow with integrity—this episode delivers. The Go-Giver is one of my top 10 most influential books, and one I often give or recommend to others.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and how they apply in 2025
- Why the best salespeople don’t “sell”—they serve
- How one roofer applied Go-Giver principles during the 2008 crisis and thrived
- The difference between authenticity and technique in leadership
- Bob’s favorite personal development book—and the advice he’d give his 21-year-old self
