πŸ—£οΈ Book The Angry Optimist

Before the pandemic, I gave quite a few talks.

It was a great way to spread fact-based optimism and a nice source of income for the Warp Institute Foundation (which we used to spread even more optimism!)

Now it's time to hit the road again.

This time with a new talk: Optimist's Edge.

A tool to find opportunities before everyone else.

I've held it a few times in the fall and excuse me for bragging, but it's really good.

Jeff Bezos founded Amazon after discovering that the Internet was growing by 2300 percent per year.

Most people miss such trends and instead believe the opposite:

  • When something gets better, most think it gets worse.
  • When something gets cheaper, most think it gets more expensive.

Optimist's Edge is a method you can use to find opportunities before everyone else.

Jeff Bezos used Optimist's Edge to start Amazon.

In my talk, I will show you how to use this tool.

And I'll present some great opportunities today, and how they can affect your organization.

Tips, bookings, introductions

I am happy to receive tips and introductions to events, companies and organizations that may be interested in a talk.

If you yourself are an organizer β€” please get in touch!
