“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
