Brilliant on the Basics, with Barry Gottlieb – Episode 266 of The Action Catalyst Podcast

Barry Gottlieb started out his career as an educator. First, he was an elementary school teacher, then a school principal, and finally an instructor at both Santa Fe Community College and at the University of Florida. During his time at the university, Barry experienced a life-altering challenge. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was given just 3 to 6 months to live. His story of recovery and the paradigm shift that it created in his life was the inspiration for his first book, TGIT – Thank God It’s Today.

Shortly thereafter, Barry decided to make a career and lifestyle change and left teaching to enter the world of
business. This, he says, “is where my real education began.” He and his partners built a very successful $75
million international company from the ground up that they later sold for $55M. After that, Barry took on many different challenges in the business world. He was the Vice President of Sales for a billion-dollar international company. He also tackled another start-up company, building their sales to $9M in just fifteen months.

Currently, Barry is a success mentor and trusted advisor, offering counsel and guidance to both private individuals and corporations. Barry is a dynamic speaker and is sought after by corporations and organizations of all sizes to deliver keynote addresses and specific training modules. In addition to his keynote addresses about life and business, Barry is a successful author. His books are TGIT – Thank God It’s Today, Every Day Is A Gift, and Brilliant on the Basics: A Playbook for Business Leaders. Barry’s mission is simply “to inspire and empower others to reach their full potential.”
