About this audiobook
A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today’s Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from “I’ve got an idea” to “I run a billion-dollar company” far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today’s hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities—armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today’s entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Highly insightful, the book is split with the first half being about how to think exponentially and the second half providing practical ways to build exponential businesses that can help the world. Recommended reading.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Even though I am not going to venture out entrepreneurial or use the macro to micro step by step offerings of this book, I was ENTHRALLED. A MUST read if you are thinking, active or passionately pursuing a business venture. But like me if you are not this book is a great read, and worth at least three reads. Kotler's voice is perfect and he and Diamandis are two that should be followed through every piece of content they release. 5 Stars is just the beginning of my feelings about this book.

Awseome book. Just fascinating, engaging as well as usefully filled with practical advice - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5decent adio book. defo worth a listen to. quote motivational
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favourites and one I will probably read again. Generated lots of ideas for a business I am considering and a long running idea I am pursuing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I started reading "Bold," I expected it would be a heavy tome - typical Non-fiction. Instead it turned out to be that the book was where Science fiction, Reality, and Business, merged. The result was a thriller.I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone of any age. Your whole perspective of the world will change.
