CEO at Polar Unlimited and reviewer of business books at www.readitfor.me
Ontario, Canada
Here are the top 5 things you didn't know about me until now.
1. I can save you approximately 16,640 minutes of reading time this year.
I summarize business books into 10 minute videos at www.readitfor.me. It's the world's best video book summary service. And it's free.
2. I can help you keep on top of your social media game.
I do monthly webinars to keep you "in the know" about how you can use technology to build your social capital and transform your business. Find out more at www.polarunlimited.com. Once again - it's free.
3. I started my first business in the 4th grade.
I've got a habit of starting things young. I held my first garage sale at the age of 4, my first business at the age of 9, became president of a digital marketing agency at 28, and now speak to groups of CEOs across North America about creativity, innovation and social media.
4. I can turn word of mouth into cold hard cash.
This one is top secret, but if you want to find out how to turn a single email into $15,000 through our "spare change" program, let me know when we connect.
5. I love you.
Really, I do. Even though I don't know you yet, I love you. Why? Because life is way too short to play it cool, and I'd rather start off loving you just like I love life. We'll see how it goes from there (I'm betting it goes well).
If any of the above intrigues you, or you want to know #'s 6 - 99, let's connect!

I was an insurance defence litigator. That meant that sometimes I went to court to defend our clients, and most of the time I was in my office doing paper work. Great training for speaking in public - not so much for mind stimulation.
