John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager. He even started his own high school—while he was in high school! He forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. That wasn’t enough, though. He is an award-winning author of more than 30 books, including the classic parable The Go-Giver with Bob Burg. He has also co-authored The Latte Factor with David Bach, Out of the Maze with Spencer Johnson, and a highly successful thriller series of novels with former Navy seal Brandon Webb.
Ana Gabriel Mann works in family therapy and 5 Secrets marriage coaching. She has served as clinical director for a support program for families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, co-founded New England’s first college of Chinese medicine, and worked as a corporate consultant, speaker, trainer, and business coach.
Together they authored The Go-Giver Marriage and created related coaching businesses.
We had a wide-ranging conversation about how they have managed to accomplish all that they have, how they have kept their focus on actualizing their values and supported each other in that, and how to harness your own values to drive reaching your own goals. Among the resources we talked about:
The Go-Giver Marriage, their book they wrote together.
The Go-Giver Marriage site, a resource for people seeking to apply to principles and insights laid out in the book.
Webb and Mann, the site to learn about their bestselling thriller series.
John David Mann’s web site, to learn more about him and his 30 books, plus access to his mentoring for your own writing.
John has a new parable book coming out soon entitled The Vagrant. We will link it here when the pre-order gets posted, and we are in the process of scheduling a follow-up episode to focus on that.
