  Stiller to Slack except I

  I'm gonna quote my buddy, Larry wing it and say it's secret is 2 things.
• 4:02
  Thing number 1, be really, really good at what you do.
• 4:06
  Thing number 2, ask a lot of people to buy.
• 4:09
  Okay.
• 4:11
  Romeeta, what's your favorite old school marketing tip?
• 4:14
  I think it is it is sampling.
• 4:17
  So sample a portion You have to to to reel them in, give away a little bit first, sampling, and
• 4:24
  then have them experience the goodness and bring them in kind of, like, for the movie
• 4:28
  American Gangster with the blue Magic when he was giving away.
• 4:32
  So give it away give it away first, sampling.
• 4:35
  Love it.
• 4:36
  Alright.
• 4:36
  Last question, David, your first, then you, Rameeta, then you, Curacie.
• 4:40
  What is the best business book you have ever read?
• 4:44
  Well, Melinda, it can't be yours, and clearly, it can't be any of mine.
• 4:47
  So let's go to Seth Gordon and Lynch pin.
• 4:51
  That's probably one of the most underrated Seth Goden books, and I think it's among the best.
• 4:57
  I like that one too.
• 4:58
  Alright.
• 4:59
  Romina, what
• 4:59
  do you got?
• 5:00
  This is a book.
• 5:01
  It's actually not a business book, but it certainly transcends everything.
• 5:06
  I think it's a book by a Tim Grove, and it's called Relentless, from good to great to
• 5:11
  unstoppable.
• 5:12
  If the book about sports, he was a trainer for Michael Jordan, I can listen to it for me and
• 5:16
  business as well as my son can listen to it as a as an as an athlete.
• 5:20
  It really just talks about what is required for you to be relentless from good to great to
• 5:26
  unstoppable.
• 5:26
  And the dedication that it requires.
• 5:28
  And that book, I absolutely love.
• 5:31
  I love that book too.
• 5:33
  Alright, Christy.
• 5:33
  What do
• 5:34
  you got?
• 5:34
  What's your favorite book?
• 5:35
  Yeah.
• 5:35
  I would say not exactly a business book either and maybe not a not even under the book
• 5:40
  category per se, but what a Brown as a taped seminar out there called the power of
• 5:45
  vulnerability.
• 5:46
  And I spent a lot of time listening to that.
• 5:48
  I think before you're gonna be the best at anything you do, you have to know yourself.
• 5:52
  And I and that really will help you really understand what your triggers are, where where
• 5:57
  your vulnerabilities are, And I think we all would if we all understood ourselves better,
• 6:02
  we'd all be more success.
• 6:04
  I agree with that.
• 6:04
  And my favorite business book is actually disreput you by Jay Samitt.
• 6:08
  Because he says in order to disrupt the world, you have to start by disrupting yourself.
• 6:13
