Abraham Gordon, who believes that life is too serious to take seriously and the author of the novel “A Light in the Tunnel” joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Abraham Gordon discuss the following:

* What inspired you to write this book? * What makes this book different from others? * What is the process like for completing such a large project? * What’s one crucial message from the story? * What is the most challenging aspect of the process?

Tip: Don’t look too far down the road. Keep taking one step at a time.

Abraham Gordon is a real human type of human. What does that mean? Well, he believes that life is too serious to take seriously.

He is the middle child of five; and it was only after becoming an adult, that he realized how much he enjoyed spending time alone. Embarking on many solo expeditions, a joy of writing was stumbled upon.

Abraham has made a home for himself in more than ten different communities. He is a believer in the value of diverse experiences. He has worked as a server, a restaurant manager, a game center manager, a ski shop technician, retail associate, a yoga and meditation instructor, and a craft cocktail bartender. Abraham has been a school teacher in Taiwan, Israel, South Korea, and the United States. He has also been a special education teacher in Manhattan and a physical education teacher in Los Angeles.

Abraham’s experience working in various schools, led to the belief that education is an institution which has been tragically overlooked as a key factor toward the achievement of greater species progression. “I’m often flabbergasted at the lack of interest in a system which has the ability to improve every other system.”

Peter Rex, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and thought leader who built a billion-dollar investment business from scratch in less than 7 years and now runs a technology company based in Seattle joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Peter Rex discuss the following:

* Tell me a little about your path and life journey in becoming the entrepreneur you are today.* Why do you believe that sticking to the traditional confines of society and rules of institutions such as education are not always the best path for an entrepreneur?* How do you think being self-taught in many areas benefited you?  * Without a traditional background in business, what enticed you to start a career in it?* How can having a typical background help shape success in business? Can you share examples of how looking at business through a nonconforming perspective has shaped your success?

Peter Rex is the founder and CEO of Trustwork, a technology business driven to empower the global workforce and recreate the world’s economy. Trustwork’s mission fulfills deeply held desires from Peter’s childhood and is a byproduct of Peter’s life experience as a middle-class youth with an extreme drive to serve people of all nations. 

Peter developed core elements of Trustwork’s vision while building a $1 billion integrated investment and operations company. He went from bootstrapping in 2005 as a construction worker to now having 400+ employees, $135mm in annual revenue, and $350mm of equity invested.

In 2015, Peter embarked on an 18-month investigation to understand how to apply his vision at the largest possible scale. He recognized the value that physically seeing local problems, opportunities, and cultural nuances would have in developing and executing a truly global strategy. His trip led him to 85 countries where he held over 600 meetings with business leaders, government officials, and everyday people.

Peter returned with his family to the United States having seen the potential in people across all geographies and socio-economic classes, and the extent to which they had been limited by lack of access to the new economy. He knew that the best investment would be in creating meaningful technology that would allow people throughout the economy to amplify their entrepreneurial drive and human ingenuity. 

Trustwork’s initial focus is on recreating the “old economy” industries of real estate and construction, but will eventually empower every person in the global workforce.

Peter Rex lives with his wife and three children in Seattle and regularly operates in San Francisco, Dallas, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York. He is a CPA and lawyer, and received a BA in philosophy and government from Georgetown University and a JD from Harvard Law School.
