About the author

Derek is the host of the Art of Adventure Podcast and Uncharted Family Podcast and has been a location independent lifestyle entrepreneur for three years visiting 35 countries and living on four continents. A former scientist and pro cyclist, Derek is an author at the Good Men Project, serial entrepreneur, and business coach.
After interviewing hundreds of authors, entrepreneurs, futurists, educators, and adventurers, it became clear to Derek that the most important skills of the future focus on what only humans can provide: creativity, entertainment, the ability organize a tribe of people around a common goal, dreaming big, beautiful design, teaching and synthesizing information, and learning to do something that has never been done.
Possessing these skills is the insurance against being replaced by robots, artificial intelligence, and outsourcing.
Derek found that wherever he gives workshops, people are most interested in connecting with other people and learning how to implement their biggest ideas - especially when you can't find a mentor who has done it before and you can't look it up on the internet. "Conductors" is for those of you that are trying to do something new and exciting!

Audience

There are three main audiences for Conductors: Students and young people charting the course of their careers, people in the middle of a career transition or reinventing themselves, and entrepreneurs who want tools and ideas to help them accelerate their business efforts.

For students and career pivots, Conductors gives people the skills they need to cultivate to stay valuable in a changing work place. There are many industries being disrupted right now - self driving cars is a great example as truck drivers is the number one occupation in the United States right now with 3 million drivers and 8 million correlated staff. They may need to reinvent themselves quickly, and are wondering how to do that.

Students who are just entering the job market or thinking about future careers will want this information so they can pick the right things to focus on in school or early career, and set them selves up for fulfilling work in the future.

For entrepreneurs, Conductors provides a formulaic approach to addressing some of the main hurdles they will face: getting the right people, skills, funding, marketing, innovation, and thinking big.

Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence. By Erica Dhawan and Saj-nicole Joni. Published February 24, 2015 by St. Martin's Press 

Connectional Intelligence is the ability to combine knowledge, ambition and human capital, forging connections on a global scale that create unprecedented value and meaning. As radical a concept as Emotional Intelligence was in the 90s, Connectional Intelligence is changing everything from business and sports to academics, health and politics by quickly, efficiently and creatively helping people enlist supporters, drive innovation, develop strategies and implement solutions to big problems.


Deep Work: Rules For Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport. Published by Grand Central Publishing, Hachette Book Group, February 5, 2016.

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.

Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers by Tim Ferriss. Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, December 6, 2016

From the author: “For the last two years, I’ve interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview. This unusual depth has helped make The Tim Ferriss Show the first business/interview podcast to pass 100 million downloads. “This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and ‘inside baseball’ you won’t find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new ‘guests’ you haven’t met.

The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy by Lewis Howes. Publisher: Rodale Press, Inc, October 27, 2015.

In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing "the greats" on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives.
A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness "professors" and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.

Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags by Linda Rottenburg. Publisher: PenguinPublishing Group; Publication date: 03/01/2016

These days taking chances isn’t just for college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a nonprofit, or a mom-and-pop, everybody needs to think and act like an entrepreneur. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daring—and maybe even a little crazy—or risk being left behind.But how do you take smart risks without risking it all? That’s Linda Rottenberg’s expertise. As the cofounder and CEO of Endeavor, the world’s leading organization dedicated to supporting fast-growing entrepreneurs, she’s spent the last two decades helping innovators think bold and execute smart.Now Rottenberg draws on her unrivaled experience to show you the proven techniques to achieve your dreams: from overcoming fear to facing down critics, from stalking supporters to exploiting chaos. Crazy Is a Compliment combines inspiring stories, original research, and practical advice to create a road map for getting started and going bigger.


Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One by Jenny Blake. Publisher: Portfolio, September 6, 2016

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

Drawing from her own experience and those of other successful pivoters, Jenny Blake has created a four-stage process that teaches anyone how to seamlessly and continually:

  • Double-down on existing strengths, interests, and experiences 
  • Find new opportunities and identify skills to develop without falling prey to analysis-paralysis and compare-and-despair 
  • Run small experiments to determine next steps 
  • Take smart risks to launch with confidence in a new direction 

This book is for anyone searching for an answer to the question, "What's next?"

Virtualbookworm Publishing logo Virtualbookworm Publishing

Virtualbookworm (VBW) Publishing was founded by a writer frustrated by the long wait time and occasional heartbreak often associated with the publishing industry. After researching the various "alternatives," he discovered a number of subsidy publishers that would publish any author ... for a price. Unfortunately, many reviewers (and readers) thumb their noses at books from such houses, since all it takes is cash to get published by them.

Then he discovered self publishing and the endless opportunities it presented. However, such a venture requires countless hours of research of printers, proofreaders, artists, etc. And after publication, even more time is consumed trying to market the book.

So, Virtualbookworm.com was established as a "clearinghouse" for authors, since it offers virtually everything under one roof. Although we now charge setup and design fees, those costs are kept to a minimum so as to cover all expenses. And, as with "traditional" publishers, we carefully review each manuscript and only offer contracts to authors who truly have exceptional manuscripts. We don't print garbage, and we want our authors to proudly say they were published by Virtualbookworm. If we accept your book for publication, you can rest assured that it will be sold next to other quality books, and not just work that had enough money behind it. And, you'll receive some of the best royalties in the business!

Since our initial costs are so low, we want your books to sell as much as you do.
