Could You Be The Accidental Thought Leader? | Peter Winick

Source: Could You Be The Accidental Thought Leader? | Peter Winick

Peter Winick has spent two decades inside the intellectual attics of the world’s most influential thinkers. What he has found, repeatedly, is that the gap between a brilliant idea and a sustainable business built on that idea is not a creativity gap. It is a strategy gap. And most people never close it.

In this conversation, Peter and Dov go inside the Keith Ferrazzi story, the LinkedIn Learning failure that produced 140,000 students and zero clients, the three moves every senior leader should make before spending a dollar on thought leadership, why you are the worst judge of your own most valuable idea, and what Peter says directly to the person driving right now who knows they still have something to say but keeps being told it is time to stop.

What Peter got wrong about himself as a kid, and what that kid would think of the man he became, is the part of this conversation that will stay with you longest.
