Show Your Value with Lee Benson

We are thrilled to welcome back Jim Keyes for his second appearance on the show. Jim has had a remarkable career, serving as CEO of 7-Eleven for 21 years and later leading Blockbuster and Wild Oats Marketplace. Recently, he authored the book Education is Freedom: The Future is in Your Hands, where he dives into the power of knowledge, leadership, and continuous learning.
What We Talk About:
- Resilience and Response: Jim shares how success in life isn’t about avoiding crises but how we respond to them, emphasizing the importance of maintaining control over our reactions.
- Leadership Lessons: From leading global brands to navigating crises, Jim dives into the essentials of leadership, such as integrity, clear communication, and setting the tone from the top.
- The Power of Knowledge & Learning: Jim explains the concept of an “aviator brain,” where preparedness and continuous learning are the antidotes to fear. This approach can help in everything from flying planes to leading companies.
- Finding Balance: We discuss how balancing reason and faith can lead to better decision-making, both personally and in business.
Whether you are an entrepreneur, leader, or simply looking to grow, this conversation is filled with wisdom and practical advice that can help you navigate challenges and create more value in your life.
