Entrepreneurial legend, Richard Thalheimer, joins Tech Done Different to teach us the many things he learned by starting and growing The Sharper Image.

You'll learn:

how to adapt to disruptive technology
why it's common for people to say No (hint: it's safe)
why to execute "management by opportunity"
why you should talk about your idea to everyone you meet (and why withholding it actually holds you back)
what to look for in people you hire, and how to make room for them to grow
why to disregard formal training and prioritize on the ground training
why to be nice
