Now in its second year, TechStrong Con is a testament to the ways in which technology can improve human existence, even in our greatest time of need. This year’s event will feature examples of how digital transformation, DevOps, cloud native and cybersecurity have enabled us to survive—and some thrive—in the past year, and look ahead to what we can expect as we adjust to a new normal. TechStrong Con also will explore the future of hybrid: hybrid events, hybrid workplaces, hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructure. Join us as we look at lessons learned from the pandemic and how tech can lead the way going forward.
THE ENTREPRENEUR'S WEEKLY NIETZCHE - A BOOK FOR DISRUPTORS
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE—PATRON PHILOSOPHER OF TODAY’S DISRUPTIVE ENTREPRENEURS
His favorite personality was a “free spirit”: an obsessed individual with a vision of the future and the will to make it so, a rebel who creates the future with childlike enthusiasm. Now, serial entrepreneur Dave Jilk and venture capitalist Brad Feld extract from Nietzsche a modern Art of War, connecting the dots to our high-tech business environment. Each quick, digestible chapter expands on a quote from Nietzsche to stimulate your thinking about a vital aspect of entrepreneurship, and stories from entrepreneurs help make the ideas concrete.
Understand why hitting bottom might be the best thing that can happen, how your firm’s “artistic style” can align your organization, and the role obsession plays in your success—and your definition of it. Glean insight and inspiration from every page of this surprising, approachable gem.
