Summary

I remember a couple of years ago, one day when I was asleep, my friend woke me up in the middle of the night and "invite" me to a dinner party. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I have nothing better to do, so I went along. It turns out, it was the best dinner party that I ever have been, and was organized by the great organizer and influencer, Jon Levy! In this episode, I have him on again to talk about his new book, You're Invited: The Art & Science of Cultivating Influence. We talked about what's the real meaning of being an Influencer? It's not about having a million followers on TikTok, Instagram, or whatever social media platform. Also, why does he set out to organize all this amazing dinner party that features famous people, and why does he like connect people? Listen and find out! You might get the Invitation to his next dinner party! My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!
