The Long Game | Dorie Clark | Before the Bestseller 46


Dorie Clark is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Long Game, Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You, and Stand Out, which was named the #1 Leadership Book of the Year by Inc. magazine.

She helps individuals and companies get their best ideas heard in a crowded, noisy world. She has been named one of the Top 50 business thinkers in the world by Thinkers50.

What I love about Dorie is that she has a very followable path to how she’s become the Dorie Clark we all know today from shear will and hustle over a long time horizon.

In fact this is a big part of what her book The Long Game is about. Dorie is now even famous for her dinner parties where you might rub shoulders with a price, a chef, and a gym owner all at the same table. She’s such a wonderful soul and there’s so much to learn from her which is why I am so excited to share our conversation.
