Grow Your Business with Value

In this episode of the Brilliant Business Book Festival, I’m joined by Bob Burg, co-author of the widely loved book: The Go-Giver.  

Bob’s writing started with a practical sales book, Endless Referrals, but soon realized the power of storytelling. That led to The Go-Giver, a business parable built around timeless relationship-building principles.


In this insightful episode, Bob shares why giving in business isn’t about self-sacrifice - it’s about building deep, trusted relationships that grow your impact and income. 

Through storytelling, timeless principles, and real-world experience, he reveals how shifting focus from getting to giving is the secret to sustainable business success.

Join me in this episode to discover practical insights for growing a value-led business, navigating boundaries, asking boldly, and building a brand others can’t help but advocate for.

“Success in business isn’t about taking, it’s about becoming the kind of person others know, like and trust.” - Bob Burg

In this Week's Episode...

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why The Go-Giver was written as a parable, and how that format transforms learning.

  • The true difference between Go-Givers, Go-Getters, and Go-Takers.

  • How value is perceived in the other people’s eye and how you define it .

  • Why introverts are naturally better at sales, and how to lean into that.

  • How to give generously without becoming a doormat or burning out.

“Being a Go-Giver means shifting your focus from getting to giving, so you consistently add value to others.” - Bob Burg
