“But when we ask people who they think of when they hear the greatest salesperson on the planet, the top two answers are Martin Luther King Jr. and Steve Jobs,” says Colin on this week’s episode. They teach how to sell authentically, finding that people will buy from you based on your imperfections. They discuss leading with vulnerability and pathological optimism, being purpose-driven, and giving more than receiving.

Brilliant Thoughts is about people. It’s about how relationships shape careers. It’s about how influence shapes industries. It’s about how at the end of the day, ones and zeroes on spreadsheets represent real humans and no one is going to find success without keeping that top of mind.
