Author Quotes
I thought it would be helpful to business leaders who need some inspiration and some tools from the technology industry on how to never be stuck in their business again. I went about gathering up the stories and the insights and the things that I know from 25 years in tech and put it into a book.
What I talk about a lot in the book is how the tech industry uses specific techniques and tools such as pivots, which are not new, but the tech industry does pivot quite easily from idea to idea or from business model to business model.
It’s looking for the optimism in the world around you and being able to use that optimism to take the next step and keep moving forward.
