Concerned Citizen- Altruistic Endeavours
I have compiled a contemporary, political, semi auto biographical piece of comprehensive prose concentrating primarily on the Climate Crisis that is condensed, concise and reader friendly. It evinces my 15 year endeavor to influence national and international decision making on the topics of Workchoices, Child Sex Abuse and Climate Change; with more of an emphasis on the later. This book provides an insight as to what compelled me to pursue these changes and what means I used to achieve them. Overall, it is a contemporary political writing that gives an accurate historical view of how Climate Change came to exist and a more recent account of how it became a present day crisis. It also provides hope in showing current positive examples of what is being done around the world from leading scientists and proactive organizations. “I have listened to media personnel, actors, ministers and senators say my very words, and have lived to influence Hollywood, Governments, Prime Ministers, Presidents, a Royal family, the Pope and many more….” In short, this is a holistic, informative and contemporary Climate Change article.

Black Swan Start-ups
This book explores startups that have thrived against the odds in places where startup success was deemed to be unlikely. Discussing a number of technology startups from around the world that have succeeded without state backing nor local venture and seed capital, Black Swan Start Ups provides unique insights into unsung models of success beyond the two dominant narratives of Asia’s ‘Tiger Economies’ and America’s Silicon Valley miracle. The author describes these stories of success as ‘black swan events’ and ascribes their achievements to the ability of entrepreneurs to leverage the ‘place surplus’ of their locations, while building connections to support networks outside their immediate geographies. Including case studies such as Skype in Estonia, SoundCloud in Germany and Bayt.Com in Dubai, this insightful book gives a holistic and wide-ranging view of how technology startups have, and can, succeed in less likely places.
