BIO

My passion is to bring good and game-changing ideas to life with love. My heart sings when an idea in my world comes to life that makes the world outside a better place to live. It could be a startup a book a framework a speech a course or a work of art - I have experimented with all of them. I have failed a LOT of times learned from every single one of those failures and because of that I have also succeeded a few times on all the categories. Starting 2000 I have been part of the founding teams of several companies 10x in the technology and publishing space. Couple of them have got an exit couple of them have reached the startup graveyard and the rest are making progress. The latest venture Audvisor www.audvisor.com is a mobile audio streaming app for micro-podcasts from over 125 world-class experts. We have over 3000 micro-podcasts on more than a dozen topics on personal and professional growth. Starting 1983 I have written and published several books 16x with my first book published at the age of thirteen. Books include four murder mysteries a collection of poems a book on mathematics several business books and two books on how to make people think. I also maintain a blog with close to 2000 blog posts and have contributed to Huffington Post VentureBeat Sandhill.com Yourstory.com and Salesforce.com. Starting 2016 I have created around 2500 Napkinsights Napkinsight an insight that can fit on a paper napkin . i have also created a box of 101 uniquely designed thank you cards two playing card decks where every card has a mini saga a story in exactly 50 words each and more. Starting 2010 I have been teaching first time entrepreneurs 1400x on various aspects of how to bring their ideas to life. I have also spoken on stages in the United States India Singapore Malaysia Mexico with audiences ranging from a small group of CEOs to several hundred conference attendees. Lastly I think I am.a work in progress meaning I guarantee my work but leave the progress to God P.S. Responding to a dare from a student to step outside of my comfort zone I have started a comedy show called Sit Down Comedy. As of now I have released a few shows on YouTube. To be fully transparent I am getting laughs well not because of my jokes but because of my attempts to make people laugh. Some people also reported they cried not because of joy but because it was painful for them to watch these episodes until the end. I do care for you and hence have chosen to not include the link to those episodes. You are welcome.
