    About Harvey Mackay

    Harvey Mackay is the author of the New York Times #1 bestsellers “Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive” and “Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt.” Both books are among the top 15 inspirational business books of all time, according to the New York Times.

    Harvey’s third book, released in 1993 and titled Sharkproof, also became a national best seller within weeks. Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty, Mackay’s fourth book, made the New York Times bestseller list 12 days after its release on April 20, 1997, and remained there for five months.

    In January 1999, Pushing The Envelope: All The Way To The Top, became his fourth New York Times bestseller. It is full of business and life lessons, including how to lick the competition, and is guaranteed to earn your stamp of approval. Mackay’s books have sold 8,000,000 copies worldwide, been translated into 35 languages and sold in 80 countries.

    Mackay is a nationally syndicated columnist for United Feature Syndicate, whose weekly articles appear in 52 newspapers around the country, including the Detroit Free Press, Denver Post, Orange County Register, Minneapolis Star Tribune and Arizona Republic.

    He also is one of America’s most popular and entertaining business speakers, speaking on average — once a week to Fortune 500-size companies and associations. Toastmasters International named him one of the top five speakers in the world.

    In addition, Harvey is chairman and CEO of Mackay Envelope Corporation, an $85 million company he founded at age 26. Mackay Envelope employs 500 people and manufactures 23 million envelopes a day.

    Mackay is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program. He is an avid runner and marathoner, and former #1 ranked tennis player in Minnesota.

    He is currently a director on Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute, the Minnesota Orchestral Association and the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. He has been a guest lecturer at various universities and business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, Cornell, Wharton and Penn State.

    All of which is why Fortune magazine refers to him as “Mr. Make Things Happen.”
