Stump the Expert
We had some fun having John guessing the ‘and’ of the following big names. Do you know the answers?
Buy the Book
Just do it – get the book and read it. It will only take about 2 hours from start to finish. Give it to your entire team, your CEO and the rest of the shareholders.
Then go find out the ‘and’ of each of your fellow team members. This book is easily 5 stars.
Where Else Can We Find John Garrett?
Let’s start with John’s podcast. It’s outstanding, and I bet you can guess the show’s format.
To learn more about John’s speaking and consulting services, head over to his website to learn more.
I also bet if you ask John for a Linkedin connection, he’ll accept it. Be ready to give him your ‘and’ when he responds.
John, keep being awesome with your AND. I can’t wait for the sequel.
