AVERAGE JOE Be the Silicon Valley Tech Genius

Mike Lenz narrates in the voice of a friendly postgrad tutor. He's engaging and informative--a smart choice for an audiobook that dissects the myth of the tech genius. According to the author, the mystique surrounding founders of companies like Uber and Groupon is partially a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. Lenz subtly sells that premise as Livermore deconstructs an array of founders, looking into components like storytelling and marketing ability, intelligence, mystique, and showmanship and then shows how those components can be applied to any Average Joe (or Josephine). Even those who don't dream of their own startup will enjoy this audiobook for its compilation of tech histories and horror stories. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
