If you’ve ever wondered how I get some of my guests to come on the show, you can thank, well, my guests. As I’ve progressed through this journey called a podcast, I’ve had the opportunity to network with some of the smartest people on the planet. One of them is bestselling author, Dorie Clark. Dorie has been kind enough to make unsolicited introductions to numerous other authors, many of whom you’ve been exposed to here on the show. Today’s featured guest is one such person. His name is Safi Bahcall and his new book is Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries. I absolutely LOVED it! Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, says it’s “not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand how ideas change the world.” This book is on nearly every major publication’s must-read list.
