Jim Keyes
Former CEO 7-Eleven and Blockbuster
Jim Keyes is the former CEO of two international Fortune 500 companies, 7-Eleven and Blockbuster and credits his incredible success to one key component.
Education was the key to unlocking his opportunity, and in turn his freedom. In EDUCATION IS FREEDOM: The Future Is in Your Hands (Savio Republic; February 27th, 2024) with a foreword by Stedman Graham, Keyes shows how lifelong education and education access shaped his life and how they can empower us with the mindset to overcome adversity and achieve our full potential.
He offers a roadmap for growing our wisdom throughout our lifetimes with his C-Suite of Learning. This includes understanding what to learn, how to learn, and most critically, why it’s important we learn. At an individual level, these tools can make us more productive professionally. Collectively, it can make us more responsible citizens. As Keyes reminds us, an educated electorate is the fundamental prerequisite to a working democracy.
