Greg Reid has spent his career studying what separates people who succeed from people who almost do, work that eventually led him to co-author Three Feet from Gold with the Napoleon Hill Foundation and to build Secret Knock, one of the more exclusive networking events in business. He joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to talk through both.
The conversation moves quickly past the usual success-story beats into more provocative territory, including Greg Reid's argument that chasing legacy as most people define it may be the wrong goal entirely.
