Introduction to Jim McCann & George S. Everly Jr.

Growing up in South Ozone Park, Queens, I learned the value of hard work from my father and the men around him, doing all the jobs no one else wanted. That foundation propelled me, Jim McCann, to eventually launch 1-800-Flowers, an endeavor that defined my career. My co-host, Dr. George S. Everly Jr., shares his journey from Catonsville, Maryland, navigating through an extensive academic path that led him to groundbreaking work on the brain’s stress response. Together, we distill these formative experiences into practical advice for achieving your personal and professional goals.
