Brian Gubernick
About this episode

We’ve all heard it: nice guys finish last. But Adam Grant’s research proves otherwise. The truth? The biggest winners and the biggest losers share the same trait: they’re givers. The difference lies in how they give. 

In this episode, Brian breaks down the paradox of generosity, the danger of selfless giving, and the discipline of strategic generosity. 

You’ll learn how to play the long game, give from strength, and protect yourself from takers so that your generosity compounds into influence, trust, and lasting success.

Your challenge today: make one high-leverage give, and say no to one request.
