I’m super excited to dive in today with our guest Josh Linkner. Josh is a creative troublemaker. He passionately believes that all human beings have incredible capacity and he’s on a mission to unlock inventive thinking and creative problem solving to help leaders, individuals, and communities soar. He has been the founder and CEO of five tech companies which sold for a combined value of over 200 million dollars and is the author of four books including the New York Times best seller’s Discipline Dreaming and the Road to Reinvention. He has invested in and/or mentored over a hundred startups and is the founding partner of Detroit Venture Partners. Today Josh serves as chairman and cofounder of Platypus Labs, an innovation research training consulting firm. He has twice been named the Ernst & Young entrepreneur of the year and is the recipient of the United States Presidential Champion of Change award. Josh is also a passionate Detroiter, the father of four, a professional level jazz guitarist, and has a slightly odd obsession for greasy pizza. His upcoming book, Big Little Breakthroughs will hit the shelves April 20th.
