Summary

My guest today is Tom Asacker, often described as a creative force, albeit a wayward one. He is an artist, writer, inventor, and philosopher. He writes, teaches, and speaks about radically new practices and ideas for success in times of uncertainty and change.

The topic is his book I Am Keats: Escape Your Mind and Free Your Self.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Taking a leap of faith
Traveling for the sake of traveling
Serendipity
Hypocrisy on the Internet
What are your “beliefs”
Cognitive dissonance
Being driven by inspiration vs. data
Bring the engineers in after you have the design
