Well, hey everyone, Daniel Decker here with Positive University and I am privileged to welcome Bob Berg here today. Bob is a prolific author, writer, speaker, all the above and just a phenomenal guy. If don't know him personally I've had the opportunity to get to know him for

last few years and he's just he's just one of those guys that just makes the life the world better

So Bob thank you for joining us today and spend some time with me.

What a nice compliment. Thank you, Daniel. I feel the same way about you.

Thank you. So today we're going to talk about influence, what it is, just how you leverage it and use it to make a greater impact, and even how you can use its benefits to deal with the people who maybe don't agree with or you can't be agreed to disagree.

So before we dive into that, I thought it would be good to give people a little context of kind of who you are,

maybe some background if they don't know who you are.

But so you've written a number of books, many best selling books.

How many have you written so far?

Well, I think the number of books is either 11 or 12.

Not all of them have been bestsellers.

Not all of them have sold well.

If you have sold really well, others, not so much.

Yeah, so what's maybe one or two of your favorites uh well my my

favorite of all is one called adversaries and two allies and that was

really the really the how-to aspect of the newest book but

but that's probably my favorite because I really believe it's my life's work. The other favorite would have to be the go giver,

which is John David Mann's in my business parable

that kind of started the whole series.

And that one sold over 700,000 copies

and is still going strong and that's just been a you know it's

been like a a child to me so yeah it's amazing so how many books are into the go giver
