Event Description

Join author Ken Lizotte for a fascinating discussion of his new book, Walden for Hire: Business Lessons from Henry David Thoreau. While many associate Thoreau only with Transcendentalism, a love of nature, and his iconic work Walden, Ken's talk reveals a different dimension: Thoreau as an innovative strategic problem-solver and successful serial entrepreneur. Topics include:

· Henry's lucrative curiosity.

· Henry's success in diverse business arenas, e.g., farming, manufacturing, surveying, and marketing.

· His long-lasting success as a best-selling author.

· His ingenious profit-building methods were generated on his own terms.

· His creative career independence decades before today's "gig economy."

Come prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about Thoreau and leave with practical, timeless strategies for carving out your own unconventional business path.
