The Book Leads – Episode 28: Gramps Jeffrey & I Don’ Want To Turn 3
For this episode, multi-title author Gramps Jeffrey walks me through what it was that prompted him to write his book. Simply put, it came out of spending more time with his grandkids, watching the way they think, negotiate, and navigate their way through life.
Gramps is a veteran of business, spending decades in retail and sales – leading to his writing the book “The Secrets of Retailing…How to Beat Wal-Mart” — and catching the wave and harnessing the power of the internet in its infancy to both launch and consult for online businesses.
Between his career in business and his love of being a grandfather, he can see the intertwined relationship between those early, formative years of childhood and how we can shape – or at least try to guide – how our society’s kids think.
I loved having this conversation because I’m growing more fascinated about what the early years of our lives, even this young, mean for who we are later.
Some highlights we touch upon in this episode:
- The behavior of children and how it translates to later in life, work, and business.
- How we lose ourselves (sometimes our best attributes) after adolescence.
- The power of learning from our mistakes, even if it takes a generation.
The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Gramps is, How do you both proactively impact the lives of the youth around you while also learning from them?
Bio: Gramps Jeffrey is the pen name for Marc Joseph whose first book “The Secrets of Retailing…How to Beat Wal-Mart” was written to help entrepreneurs and small businesses compete against the big guys.
