Have you ever had that moment when your mate does something brilliant and you're just dead proud? That's us right now.
Ben Whitaker - one of our StopPress founders and all-round decent blokes - has just published his first book, and it's a bit special.
The Ideas Guy: Unleash Your Inner Genius isn't your standard business book gathering dust on the shelf. It's like being invited to the ultimate dinner party with 25 of the world's most fascinating minds - from Steve Jobs to Maya Angelou, Brené Brown to Sal Khan (and he breaks down the myth that 'guy' is a male term too...)
But here's the thing that makes it different - it's not just about their success stories.
Ben dives into those raw, real moments when their ideas changed everything.
Those lightbulb moments we all chase. We've seen Ben in action with our mates (clients) and he's got this knack for helping people think differently. Now he's bottled that magic into something you can carry around with you.
The book explores IDEAS - Innovation, Digital, Education, Authenticity, and Strategy - helping you unleash your own revolutionary sparks. Because being an Ideas Guy isn't about job titles - it's about having the courage to stand up and say, "I see things differently."
You've got ideas too, we are guessing? Maybe they're scribbled in notebooks, maybe they're keeping you up at night, or maybe they're just starting to bubble up. This book's for you.
Matthew Wemyss from Cambridge International School of Bucharest puts it perfectly: "It's not just a book you read; it's one you carry with you."
