Episode 055: How to Succeed by Speaking Softly… But Carrying a Big Stick with Tyler Rayman
Former U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt said… “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” Whether that’s true or not depends on which camp you listen to… Many successful people certainly live this principle (think Warren Buffett), but there are also many successes out there who are a little more bombastic about their achievements (think Donald Trump).
