Tech Adjacent leadership

Things are moving at a faster pace than ever before and it’s become intimidating and overwhelming to keep up. It’s tempting to bury your head in the sand than to try make heads or tails of it all.

Modeled off of Mushambi’s top selling book, Tech Adjacent, is not about keeping up with tech or jumping on board every single change and adjustment on the market. Instead, it’s about understanding the principles of tech, its pace, hearing the footsteps of where it might be going, knowing how disruption and innovation work tangibly, and most importantly leveraging it for your unique exponential success.

I shook hands with Steve
