The great motivational speaker and author Zig Ziglar has passed away at the age of 86. He was a bestselling author with books on motivation & goals, leadership, and sales & marketing. He gave talks and wrote books all the way up to the end of his life. His thoughts on retirement were: “Retire? I’m not going to ease up, let up, shut up, or give up until I’m taken up. In fact I’m just getting warmed up!” He recorded many of his inspiring talks and books on audio and we feature a large collection of those on LearnOutLoud.com:
