Build relationships before you do business: a chat with Keith Ferrazzi, Part 1 [Wamda TV]

Nafez Dakkak •

This March, Wamda contributor Nafez Dakkak wrote a piece on tips for networking, drawn from Keith Ferrazzi's famous book Never Eat Alone, it turned out to be one of our most popular articles ever.

A few weeks later, Dakkak sat down for an interview with the man himself, to ask Ferrazzi directly about his philosophies and advice for Wamda's viewers.

Here's the first of a five-part series drawn from Nafez's interview; in this first installation, Ferrazzi reflects on the book's core message and why it has universal appeal.
