Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Anthony Iannarino’s career developed from unusually early exposure to selling. At 12, he was going door to door to sell newspapers; by 15, he was making cold calls for a nonprofit; and at 18, he had joined his family’s staffing business as a recruiter. A major early breakthrough came after he moved to Los Angeles and won a large client in staffing, only to suffer a grand mal seizure shortly afterward. The diagnosis—an arteriovenous malformation requiring two surgeries—sent him back to Ohio, where he resumed work in the family business and helped drive sharp revenue growth. At the same time, he studied at night, graduating summa cum laude from Capital University, earning a J.D. from Capital University Law School, and later completing Harvard Business School’s OPM program.
