In his book, he explores 12 timeless principles to help introverts stand out. He shares his personal journey of overcoming a severe stutter and a strict military upbringing to transform into a confident salesperson and career coach.
In this episode, Jennifer Kahnweiler sits down with Jess Pettit, a professional speaker, consultant, and author of Almost Doing Good.
