My Corporate Job Paid Me to Be a Functioning Alcoholic

from We Live to Build

My Corporate Job Paid Me to Be a Functioning Alcoholic. In this interview, agency founder Skip Wilson shares his raw story of working in the corporate world, where entertaining clients was a primary responsibility. He explains how, as a quiet and stoic person, he spent a decade "on the verge of tipsy" because drinking was an occupational necessity to be more social and talkative. Skip also details his Stoic-inspired time management philosophy, based on the "Memento Mori" principle of remembering your own mortality to create urgency and focus . Finally, he reveals the single most important sales lesson he ever learned: on a cold call, your goal is not to sell your product, but to get the appointment.
