Ah, influencers. They seem so modern, right? As though spawned by LinkedIn and Instagram — or at least no further back than Myspace.
But influencers must go as far back as communication — the first humans who mastered that probably earned a loyal following and thousands.
Maybe a bunch of supportive handprints under their cave-paintings.
It may have looked different, but I’ll bet they did it the exact same way the greatest influencers do it now — empathy, understanding and knowing when to shut up and listen.

Bestselling co-author of the Go-Giver Book series, Bob came on the show to talk about the latest in the series, “The Go-Giver Influencer,” which looks at what makes the greatest influencers become so influential.
