214. Never Lead Alone with Keith Ferrazzi (#1 NY Times bestselling author) 🧲
“If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” – Dale Carnegie
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.
In this episode:
• 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.
• What you can do to manage the most important relationships in your life.
Relationships are everything. If you want to know how to harness that power, this episode is for you…

213. Win the Day Q&A: What Do I Eat in a Day? 🍏
"Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments." ― Bethenny Frankel
Food is fuel. What you put into your body has a significant impact on how you show up each day.
In this minisode, I'm going to reveal the nutrition philosophy I use to Win the Day.
This is based off my own experiences and preferences. If you'd like to get a nutrition plan of your own, I highly recommend consulting with a dietitian in your area — it can be one of the best investments you ever make.
Onward,
James
