What Zig Ziglar Got Right (And Modern Self-Help Gets Wrong)

About this episode

The episode discusses the foundational principles of success as exemplified by Zig Ziglar and critiques the complexities introduced by modern self-help.

Zig Ziglar didn’t build his success on hype or shortcuts—he built it on discipline, service, and helping others win first. In this Shop Talk, we break down the simple principles that can improve how you live, work, and serve—and why modern self-help has made them far more complicated than they need to be.
