Our good friend, award-winning Irish film director (and, not 100 percent coincidentally, the person who will be directing the film edition of The Go-Giver), the very lovely and enchanting Fiona Ashe sent us the following poem, written by a friend of hers, that epitomizes the natural flow of giving and receiving portrayed in the book.

John and I have both joined the Twitterverse, and have met some very amazing tweeple (people) there. (As I guess you can tell, Twitter has its own, er . . . vocabulary.)
One person we’ve both gotten to know through the exchanging of tweets (told ya) is internationally known speaker and best-selling author Dondi Scumaci.

It is up to individuals and groups of individuals volunteering their time and resources [...]
Go-Givers give. It’s who they are; it’s what they do. They give in different ways and the most effective ones give according to their strengths.
John, a former minor league ballplayer, coaches my computer consultant Bill’s little boy’s baseball team here in Jupiter, Florida. Made up of boys and girls ages 6 through 8, not only [...]
Among the most gratifying emails we receive are those from parents who say they’ve given copies of The Go-Giver to their children, and teachers who suggest it to their students. This one, though, goes above and beyond:
We recently heard from Don Gandy, a high school principal in Valparaiso, Indiana, who wrote to our National Marketing [...]
