About Me

Hi, I'm George Stern.

I share practical growth tips with 340,000+ followers on social media and email each week.

If you're looking to thrive at work and in life, and build a career you don't need a vacation from, I'd love to help.

When I'm not writing about and coaching top performers on growth, I lead a company that buys, grows, and advises small businesses.

And earlier in my career, I was a McKinsey consultant, an elected official, and got a law degree from Harvard.

I'm also a long-time volunteer firefighter.
