Watch Me Tell One of the Best Stories in Never Eat Alone

Posted on March 1st, 2011 by Keith Ferrazzi

Today I have a video to share with you – it's me telling the "Big Wheels" story from Never Eat Alone, in support of Peter Guber's great new book, Tell to Win.

This is the story of a life-changing incident with my pop from my childhood. It was the moment I realized that both giving and receiving are critical to our happiness, and it's a story that's been central in my leadership.

Hope you like it! Do you have yourself on video telling a story? Make one and share the link in the comments!

And of course, order Peter's book!

  1. Beautiful, touching story, and so true.

  2. I know I am on my right track when I get an urge to check out something and it's just what I needed to hear or see. On so many levels, this is exactly what I needed--you telling that story...just for me. (Remember that when you are washing your dishes.) :)

    Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing this story. Was great seeing you tell it, its so much more personal and real than reading it myself was. This is a great reminder, and I especially appreciate the guidance to let your guard down and stop trying to do everything by yourself. Very timely and it's something that's been on my mind (specifically mentor-ship and its value). Thanks again!

  4. Keith, once again your message stands out! Thanks for taking the time to share your stories and more importantly your life with us all!

  5. Keith,

    What do barbies and conflict resolution have in common?
    Listen to my story to find out!

    Thanks for this. Since I read your book, giving just to give, is something I do a lot, especially with my time.

    I wondered if you had ever heard of the Venus Project and if so do you have an opinion on a resource based economy?

  7. Keith,

    As always, I truly enjoy your passion and sincerity...thank you for taking the time to share this great story...I try to practice what you are preaching with my three sons every day! :)

  8. Thanks to all for the comments - so glad the story resonated for you as it does for me. Think about how you can give someone else a chance to be generous.

  9. Someone VERY wise said "it is better to give than to receive". Of course, that implies there is a receiver to receive from the giver, and there are times we are on one end or the other, but just like that lady who helped your family out that Christmas, there is a certain joy to be able to give. Thanks for reminding everyone of that, although I know your main point was that we shouldn't be too proud to receive at times.

  10. Your dad was a great person! And good that you have used it to remind people to never be too proud to accept a little help.
