Special Edition: It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere – Systemizing Kindness and Building Relationships with Marc Shaffer

In this special edition, the spotlight is on Marc Shaffer and his debut book, One For All: How to Systemize Kindness, Grow Your Network, and Support Others Like It’s Your Job. With the official launch set for September 30, Marc shares the inspiration behind the book, the process of bringing it to life, and the lessons he hopes readers will take away.

We talk about:

• Why relationship-building shouldn’t be an afterthought and how to make it a daily habit.

• The Irish proverb that captures the spirit of the book: “You hand it out in slices, and it comes back in loaves.”

• Why “follow-through” is one of the most underrated (and underused) skills in business.

• How mentoring younger professionals, like those on his own team, shaped the writing process.

• The role of systems in making generosity and connection sustainable, not sporadic.

From stories of mentorship and community building to practical templates and takeaways, Marc’s book and this conversation offer a blueprint for anyone who wants to build authentic relationships and pay kindness forward in business and in life.
