About this listen

Most people let adversity define them. James W. Keyes used it as fuel.


Born into extreme poverty with no safety net, he worked his way from nothing to the corner office, ultimately leading 7-Eleven and Blockbuster while becoming a pilot, author, and builder of one of the most unconventional careers in modern business.

In this episode, Roman L. Binder unpacks the principles that powered James’ rise so you can:

• Turn hardship into strategic advantage
• Build confidence that holds up under pressure
• Use knowledge as leverage in any environment
• Strengthen faith so fear loses its grip
• Reinvent yourself even when the world feels unstable

By the end, you will have a clear blueprint for mobility, resilience, and long-term growth.

Guest: James W. Keyes, former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster, author of Education Is Freedom
Host: Roman L. Binder, The Nomad CEO
