Earl Nightingale aka “Dean of Personal Development” started out as a radio personality.
Then in the 50s, he went to work in CBS, where he soon became a legendary icon to kids across the nation, as the voice of radio hero, ‘Sky King’.
It was said that this adventure radio series may have been based on a true-life personality of the 1930s, Jack Cones, the “Flying Constable” of Twentynine Palms in San Bernardino County, California.
Later, Earl bought a small Franklin Life Insurance agency.
It was here where he started giving pep talks to the salesmen; hoping to inspire and motivate them to be the best salesmen.
He wrote and recorded a message called “The Strangest Secret” to be played to the sales team, during his absence.
This was how Earl Nightingale got into the personal development/self-help industry.
