This is Part 2 of my interview with Daniel Gray.

If you missed Part 1, it was one of my favorite interviews because it made an impact on me personally and I often think about the concepts and how they apply to my own life. Dan’s had a ton of success as a sales executive, including time at Amazon Web Services. We talk a lot about the lessons he learned while at Amazon and other stops in his career.


Some Highlights from this Episode:

  • The power of customer obsession
  • His journey to find EQ as a leader
  • What it means to lead out and in front
  • The value of defining output goals and input activities
  • What Amazon uses instead of PowerPoint
  • The importance of being data-driven
