Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, discusses the power of creativity and how to harness it, through stories from his remarkable life and career
From GQ's Nerd of the Year to one of TIME's Most Influential People in the World, Biz Stone represents different things to different people. But he is known to all as the creative, effervescent, funny, charmingly positive and remarkably savvy co-founder of Twitter - the social media platform that singlehandedly changed the way the world works. Now, Biz tells fascinating, pivotal, and personal stories from his early life and career at Google and Twitter, sharing his knowledge about the nature and importance of ingenuity today. In Biz's world:
- Opportunity can be manufactured
- Great work comes from abandoning a linear way of thinking
- Creativity never runs out
- Asking questions is free
- Empathy is core to personal and global success.
Biz also addresses ambition, failure, corporate culture and the value of vulnerability. Whether offering advice, behind-the-scenes stories, or hard-won wisdom and principles, THINGS A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME is an inspirational look inside the mind of one of the most successful businessmen of the new century.
Most tales of start-up success revolve around a lone genius out-manoeuvring the competition. But the story Biz Stone tells us is a riveting -- and often hilarious -- break from that tradition: a story of collaboration, sharing, and the power of networks.
