Today’s guest has had a profound impact on my life — first through his groundbreaking books, and later through his friendship.

Keith Ferrazzi is a world-renowned executive coach, keynote speaker, and leadership visionary.

As the founder of Ferrazzi Greenlight, Keith has spent over two decades guiding Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups to a new way of thinking: achieving more through deeper connection and collaboration. His revolutionary approach transforms traditional leadership into teamship — a powerful shift that’s driving the future of work.

Keith’s expertise has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal. He’s also the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Never Eat Alone (one of my all-time favorites), Who's Got Your Back, and Leading Without Authority.

His latest release, Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship, is the ultimate guide to amplifying team performance.

• How to boldly be of service.
• Why relationships are the greatest amplifier in everything you do.
• How to build a high-performing team that can 10x your success.
