In their bestselling business parable, The Go-Giver and then their follow-up, The Go-Giver Leader, Bob Burg and John David Mann challenged the conventional wisdom about success. Now they’re back with a new and equally compelling story about the power of genuine influence, in business and beyond. THE GO-GIVER INFLUENCER: A Little Story about a Most Persuasive Idea tackles the paradox of achieving what you want by focusing on the other person’s interests. No, not in a way that is self-sacrificial but rather in such a way that all parties benefit greatly. This results in both immediate and long-term success. Bob Burg speaks all over the world on topics related to The Go-Giver, as well as what he calls Genuine Influence. While his total book sales number well over a million copies, his and Mann’s original book has itself sold over 800,000 copies and has spurred an international movement. Their new book, however, The Go-Giver Influencer, might just be their most important book of all. Connect with Bob: Website: ww

Kate McCrea is the Chief Caramel Visionary at Boston-based McCrea’s Candies, a maker of luxe, handcrafted caramel. This luxury candy business was founded by Kate and her husband Jason. The McCrea’s met on Alaska’s North Slope in the Arctic Circle, where both were employed in research positions at the Toolik Lake Biological Field Station. In subsequent jobs, the two learned marketing, database management and business analysis – valuable skills which ultimately helped the duo to build and operate a candy business – but, at the time, did not protect them from back-to-back layoffs. Jason, a candy fiend, used his “time-off” to cook sweet treats and gifts for neighbors, teachers and family friends. Rave reviews and a nudge from an across-the-street neighbor gave the McCrea’s the courage to transition into the sweet science of making candy full-time and start McCrea’s Candies. The couple has grown McCrea’s into a national brand found in over 1,000 retails outlets throughout the United States Connect with Kate Email:
