Co-author of Trust Agents and The Impact Equation

Interview Starts at 20:11

What people will get out of this [next] book The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth, is that you’re okay exactly who you are. Any time you felt weird and felt like you didn’t fit in, I think it’s okay and better than okay. I think you should enhance that strength as long as you find a way to interface that with the business that people need around you.
