Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast we welcome Tom Ziglar, the son of Zig Ziglar and CEO of Ziglar Inc. Zig's work reached an estimated 250 million people worldwide over his four-decade career — not by pitching success, but by teaching the timeless truths he'd learned about character, faith, and servant leadership. While co-authoring Born to Win alongside his father, then writing Choose to Win, Tom carries that message forward, still inspiring millions today. Join us as Tom shares the timeless truths his father taught, including the story behind Zig's famous saying that you can have everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want.
