What The Former CEO Of 7-11 Learned From Pooping Outside As A Kid
Listen now
Description
Jim Keyes is one of the most fascinating and admirable CEO's in the history of corporate America and someone we can all learn from. His humble beginnings are staggering, his career is aspirational, and his wisdom is Yoda-esque in the corporate world. My confidence has been one of the biggest challenges over the past 152 days since I left my corporate job. The opportunity to spend a bit of time with my friend (who I have been calling "The New Guy" since we first collaborated on TikTok together) is always a treat, and I knew he would have some fantastic insights on the topic of confidence and the state of the world overall. He is the former 7-11, and Blockbuster CEO and author of "Education Is Freedom". If you ever hear him speak or pick up his book, the broader lessons you can learn are invaluable. Jim truly came from humble beginnings, and it is my absolute pleasure to share this conversation with you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
