From Selling $1 Chocolate Bars to CEO of the Year, $B Exit, and #4 LinkedIn Profile

From food stamps and selling $1.50 chocolate bars on the street... to being the only non-Ivy League hire in his McKinsey & Co class, being named CEO of the Year, co-founding a Mexican restaurant chain, helping Skype grow to a billion-dollar valuation, and building the fourth most followed account on LinkedIn- Eric Partaker has lived the kind of career most people only dream about.

In this episode of The Seen, we dive into:

- The unconventional strategy that got Eric into McKinsey against 2,000 Ivy League applicants

- How he helped scale Skype to a multi-billion-dollar exit to eBay

- The lessons (and brutal mistakes) from building and losing a fast-growing restaurant chain

- How a mid-air heart attack at 35,000 feet forced him to reevaluate his work habits

- The number one important driver of success (that you can start using today!)

- How he grew his LinkedIn following from zero to over 1M (and the exact 80/20 tactics he used)

- His 3-step "alarm" system to perform at your best in business, health, and relationships
