And number two, those who are creating greatness in the world and doing both of these things despite the odds against them.

So come be a fly on the wall, enjoy the conversation, and I'm stoked to have you here with me. Guys, welcome today's episode of The Greatness Machine. I'm your host, Darius Meshase and boy to have a special guest, Keith Farazzi, is in the house. What's up, Keith? Whoa, you talk faster than I did. That's impressive. I always tell the audience, I'm like, better not put this at more than 1.0 speed

or else you're screwed. Totally. I'm excited to be here. And you've got some mutual friends. I've heard great things about you. Love your show. I'm pumped. Oh, man. Likewise. So, guys, I'm so pumped to have Keith here. I've been wanting to have Keith on the show now for a couple years I'm so glad it worked out with his uh he's doing a book tour we're gonna book launch we're gonna be talking about that a little bit in the show in the show here but but so I was first introduced I'm a show for for anyone watching the show I was introduced to Keith you're gonna probably recognize this book number one New York Times best selling book, Never Read Alone. I was introduced to this book by a good friend of mine who has been on the show before Matthew Stewart, former global chairman of EO, and we're in forum one day. We're talking about books you got to read. And he's like, oh, you got to read, never read alone. It's just, it's like how to like build that network of people that you want to connect with. And so I went out, got the book. And I was, and so right away, you're on my radar from, Matt, Matt's of a guy that's not refer a lot of books. So, so I knew it mattered when he said it. And, and then, and then of course, I saw that we were connected to your point, through Vern Harnish and yet that you've done work with Vern and his network. And I'm an old school Vern guy growing up through EO and GOT and MIT, excuse me, through Burlington Giants. And so, yeah, man, you've been on the radar. You've been on my list. The audience knows that I have a list. My list, I'm always working on my list.
