EPISODE 162

Ignite the talent of those around you

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.
