Why you MUST watch this interview

I’ve read that Sam Walton became the country’s best retailer because every time he sat down with another retailer, he asked such smart questions that by the end of the conversation Sam sucked out every bit of knowledge the other guy had.

You’re not going to become the best in the world at what you do by waiting for someone to write a book that teaches you everything you need to know. I think you have to be like an investigative journalist and go out into the world and ask the probing questions that will get you the knowledge you need.

So I invited one of the world’s top investigative reporters to teach you how to do it.

4 facts about John Sawatsky

  4. He is Sr. Director, Talent Development at ESPN
