Episode 17 - John Ruhlin

Pssst… Want to hear the international award-winning way I proposed to my former wife in a former life? (It’s really good story, and it’s just one of the fun stories in this week’s episode of The Jim House Show!

In this episode I’m going to introduce you to John Ruhlin, who is the author of “Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention”

I’ve actually read this book twice because it’s such a stand-alone voice in the world of business and entrepreneurship

I’m a romantic at heart and his concept of Surprise and Delight resonates deeply with me.

Like I hinted at above, I’ll share with you the story of my marriage proposal from a former life that took runner-up in an international contest hosted by release of the movie Father of the Bride with Steve Martin.

I liken Giftology to romance… It’s the thoughtful cultivation and nourishing of important relationships – – both in your business and your personal life.

He starts the show with a story that I’ve heard him tell probably six times now, and it STILL fascinates me, I’m sure it will have a similar effect on you!

He tells us why he decided to write the book that made him a thought leader in his space, and he shares the massive benefits—financial and otherwise—that have come this way because of the book.

And we discuss how the nourishing relationships should be considered an investment, not an expense,… and how it can be done on any budget

So grab a beverage and buckle up!
