Undisruptable

Acknowledgments

This book is the collective wisdom of every fantastic guest who I've had the pleasure to host on the innovation show. It's the collective experience of clients I've worked with from Pfizer to Mastercard to Epic Games. It's the scar tissue of experiences from making leaps from one curve to the next and the lessons I've learned from every disappointment, every setback and every success. I thank those people who encouraged me on the various curves and those who did not; they also played an important role.
