  • Summary

  • Education is freedom! Take it from Jim Keyes, the former CEO of 7-Eleven & Blockbuster.

    In this episode of Bring More Joy to the Table, Jim shares his incredible journey—from flipping burgers at McDonald's to leading Fortune 500 companies.

    He has worked with LEGENDS from Nelson Mandela to Jimmy Donaldson (Mr. Beast) to advocate for the power of knowledge in overcoming fear and unlocking true freedom in life.

    Here are some key takeaways from the episode:

    1. Education Is Freedom: Through his foundation and his book, Jim’s mission to make education accessible is enabling the next generation to reach new heights.

    2. Relentless Positivity: Just like I always say, joy is a choice. Despite early life adversity, Jim focused on staying relentlessly positive and even earned the nickname "smiley."

    3. Change Equals Opportunity: Jim shares a perfect acronym that embodies what the role of a CEO should be. Rather than see change as a threat, see it as an opportunity.

    This interview is a perfect parallel to my when joy is greater than fear thesis!
