Description
Today’s guest is Jim Levine, who is the founder and principal at his literary agency, LGR. He represents authors like Tom Brady, Ray Dalio, Patrick Lencioni, and our very own David Novak!
As a literary agent, Jim’s mentality is all about helping others win. He wants to land good deals for his authors, help publishers find the right books, and coach everyone on his team to succeed.
There’s a level of satisfaction you just can’t get until you learn to help others win. It’s a mentality every leader needs to develop, and Jim is the perfect person to show you how it’s done.
Plus, if you’ve ever thought about writing a book, you’re about to get a rare inside look into the world of publishing.
You’ll also learn:
The three elements of a successful nonfiction book
The most important thing to do when you offer feedback
The aspect of listening most people miss
Insider tips on what it really takes to write a book (and it’s not what you think)
A piece of parenting advice that has nothing to do with parenting
