Bob Greene: What's the mistake or your life or career that you've learned the most from? "I was toxic Bob. I should have been fired 71 different times," he says of his time at a software company. 'Do not be the smartest person in the room, and wrong room,' is rule number three for him. "'Surround yourself with people far smarter than myself' That's rules one and two, rule number three, repeatrules one and two."

JeVon McCormick has one of the most incredible success stories you'll ever hear. He was born the son of a pimp father and an orphan mother on welfare, and poverty, abuse, eviction and constant discrimination were part of everyday life. Today, he’s CEO of ScribeMedia, a multimillion dollar publishing company with the #1 Company Culture in America, according to Entrepreneur magazine. He is also the Wall Street Journal author of Modern Leadership and a top-rated keynote speaker.

JeVon joined host Robert Glazer on the Elevate Podcast to talk about his extraordinary personal story, and how to lead a modern organization.
