Olivia, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, User Generated Book Tour

UGBT: Seattle, Portland Fun Coming Soon

And now, an update from Olivia. Yes, we need more log-ins/bylines on this blog. I know. On the million-mile-long to do list.

The latest thing I’ve learned about Valley techies? They all have taglines as personal life mottos. “Money’s not the goal- it’s just the best way to play the game”; “Stay cocky”; “Get ugly early”; “Be careful who you date.” [ed: special prizes if you accurately pair tech luminary with his or her tagline!] I haven’t quite decided on which snazzy aphorism best encompasses my life goals, so we’ll just settle for a short-term one:

SARAH LACY'S UGBT IS COMING TO SEATTLE AND PORTLAND.

That should suffice for now. Details on the jump. As always HUGE thanks to local organizers, and books will be for sale for $20; T-shirts for $15. If you have a book, bring it. Sarah will lovingly sign it for you. The more marked up and dog-eared it is, the more loving the signature.

"Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky" puts a well-deserved spotlight on the fascinating entrepreneurs working in some of the most overlooked places on Earth. This book reminds us that when entrepreneurial opportunity is enabled and embraced locally, the economic and social benefits have the power to transform us all.
Brilliant. Crazy. Cocky.

New Book

An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
