A brief conversational transcript (YouTube) where two speakers discuss the idea of "depositing" into relationships before asking for returns and the practical value of applying that idea. They emphasize combining action (being a go-getter) with generous value-provision (being a go-giver) and advise against being a "go-taker."

And when they read the book, they come back to me and they say, hey, circle, this is really good. It's given me another perspective of before I ask for withdrawals, I should be putting deposits. I said, yeah, that's pretty much how it works. You deposit, because without having a deposit in the bank, you're not going to withdraw money. So start depositing into relationships before you start withdrawing anything. But withdrawals will happen automatically.
I appreciate that. And one thing I just really love is that you took action on the idea because it's very easy to read something and think, oh, it's a good thought, maybe someday I'll do it. But you began applying it. And this is why we say we want people to be both go getters, people of action, and go givers. People who are absolutely totally laser focused on providing immense value to others. The combination of the two is very powerful. We always say, be a go getter and a go giver, just don't be a go taker.
