Zack Friedman, author of "The Lemonade Life", Chris Voss, author of "Never Split the Difference", and Ryan Levesque, author of the best-selling book "Ask" and new book "Choose", share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on "who you know" and "what you know." Episode Highlights: Zack Friedman "Who you know" has the ability to offer something to the "what you know" down the road. Be Authentic: Remember that we are all humans and connect with them in that way. Never be afraid to talk to someone, no matter how "big" they are. Chris Voss Both! Who you know may not matter if you don't know anything. What you know must fit the situation. Why preparation and research are so important to your presentation. Why it's critical to speak to small groups in the same way you address large groups. Building another person's vision. Ryan Levesque Who you know: It's impossible to amass all the knowledge you need in business. Successful people have "one move."
