Whether you’re founding a startup or working your way up a Fortune 500, the business world often feels like a straitjacket you’re forced to wear. Plenty of people subscribe to “We’ve always done it this way.” You want to break the mold, yet everyone around you is content with the tried-and-true way of doing things. You start to question yourself: “Am I the one who’s crazy? Is this the way I have to operate in order to succeed?”

In this groundbreaking book, author Bishoy Tadros dives into the heart of these tough questions. He challenges the listener to become something more than a sterile clone of everyone else. Instead, it’s time to become Audacious—to go deep inside yourself and share your most cherished dreams with the world. It’s time to achieve the unthinkable.
