When it comes to gift-giving, are you still abiding by the age-old saying, “It’s the thought that counts”? Today’s guest is about to prove you wrong in the best way possible. Joining me for this episode is professional giver John Ruhlin, who’s built a career out of helping others give better gifts.
John is the founder of Ruhlin Group, a “gift strategy” firm that teaches clients how to ditch the fruit basket and build lasting business relationships through generosity. John is also the author of Giftology, a handbook packed with strategies for becoming a better gift-giver. His radical generosity has transformed his career and business relationships. Today, he’ll tell you how.
I’m floored by John’s skill for giving meaningful, memorable gifts. It’s a superpower more of us entrepreneurs need and a powerful way to foster real connection in your industry. If you’re curious how John gives unforgettable gifts without breaking the bank, listen in—you won’t be disappointed.
