BizBash founder David Adler, author of the forthcoming book, Harnessing Serendipity (April 24). Adler is a veteran media, marketing, and event industry entrepreneur. He founded BizBash in 2000, overseeing its growth as the largest B2B media company for the event industry with over 2.5 million user sessions annually.

In the podcast interview, Adler explains the mysterious dynamics and challenges of getting people to collaborate. For Harnessing Serendipity, he spoke to a wide array of people—more than 60 individual “collaboration artists, conveners, and connectors” and duos across a variety of sectors—from charities to corporate cultures and from theater and music to diplomatic and political arenas. In a world that often feels divided and conflicted, these people have had extraordinary success at getting people to gather and work together.

Adler presents tips from Wynton Marsalis, Jason Alexander, Sarah Brown, Colin Cowie, and more. Each of them works differently, but all excel at harnessing the serendipities that humans inevitably present. The book builds on the realization that together, we can be more powerful than we are individually, and the observation that collaboration is fast emerging as an essential critical skill in all walks of life and endeavors.
