We recently heard from Misty Young, who with her husband Gary manages a chain of restaurants called “Squeeze In” in California and Nevada. (You can read their story here). Misty wrote to share some of the “book reports” her managers had written on The Go-Giver!
We recently bumped into a delightful post on a blog run by Karin Schwartz, founder of a D.C.-area business development firm called Springboard, serving the intelligence community, the Department of Defense, federal civilian agencies, state and local governments and the commercial market, from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.
