YOU! I've been waiting for it! No doubt any entrepreneur who picks

definite must read!" --Betty Liu, author of WORK SMARTS "What Jay
Samit empowers you to do is nothing short of mercurial: to predict
the market, disrupt yourself, and position your business for
exponential growth. This is your chance to leverage his years of
leadership at start-ups to global media companies, such as
Universal Studios and Sony. If you want to collapse time, minimize
risk, and accelerate success, buy DISRUPT YOU!
" --Simon Mainwaring, founder of We First and New York Times
Bestselling author of WE FIRST "If you need an acting coach, hire
Russell Crowe. Throwing a football? That's easy: get help from Joe
Montana. But when it comes to your next big business idea, get into
the mind of Jay Samit. The "why" is obvious: he knows how to
disrupt the industry you work in, right now. That's important
because "disruption" is a fine art and it's easy to get wrong:
ideas that are too safe get no attention; but ideas that are too
big can flame out quickly. Ideas that are disruptive? They get the
most funding, the best partners and the most highly qualified
employees. Disrupt correctly and you'll take over the world."
--Oren Klaff, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Pitch Anything
