but before we dive into today&#8217;s interview, something Jared said reminded me of a quote from the book <strong>&#8220;The Go Giver&#8221; by Burg and Mann:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8220;All the great fortunes in the world have been created by men and women who had a greater passion for what they were giving \u2013 their product, service or idea \u2013 than for what they were getting.\u00a0 And many of those great fortunes have been squandered by others who had a greater passion for what they were getting than what they were giving.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We often have this view of business as a one way street where businesses take our money, but if we back up a moment and take a good look, we&#8217;ll notice that the best and most trusted businesses have a long-standing habit of serving their customers very well.\u00a0 In fact, I heard a story about a Nordstrom&#8217;s employee who took a return on some snow tires!\u00a0 See the show notes for a link.\u00a0 However in real life, can we really be that generous?\u00a0 Does generosity matter?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We think it does.\u00a0 In fact in our summer Inventor&#8217;s Bootcamp classes, students are always encouraged to share what they&#8217;ve learned with other students rather than keeping the knowledge to themselves.\u00a0 Just last week when we had our first class of the summer, one of the students became known as &#8220;the wiring guy&#8221; because he figured out and memorized the wiring for the robot motors everyone was using.\u00a0 Not only did the other students get the help they needed faster, Audin &#8220;the wiring guy&#8221; got a great sense of confidence from helping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">To learn more about Inventor&#8217;s Bootcamp, visit TTInvent.com and click on the Inventor&#8217;s Bootcamp button.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I&#8217;m excited, today, to introduce you to <strong>Jared Easley<\/strong>.\u00a0 Jared recently suffered a dramatic corporate downsizing incident that left him reeling but managed to silence all the doom and gloom voices that seem to plague us at moments like that.\u00a0 He cites as his inspirational turn around, the movie &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life&#8221;
