Resumen del Editor

Philanthropist, investor, and technology pioneer Jean Case brings to life the five "Be Fearless" principles common to the people and organizations that change the world.

This audiobook is a call to action for those seeking to live extraordinary lives and bring about transformational change.

When National Geographic Chairman Jean Case set out to investigate the core qualities of great change makers, past and present, from inventors to revolutionaries, she found five surprising traits all had in common. They weren’t wealth, privilege, or even genius. It was that all of these exceptional men and women made a big bet, took risks, learned from their failures, reached beyond their bubble, and let urgency conquer fear.

Be Fearless mixes storytelling and strategy, practical tips and inspiration, to teach individuals and organizations how to put these five principles to work so they, too, can spark the sorts of remarkable breakthroughs that change the world.

“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6
Humanity imagination has no limit, like God himself has said it the Bible.

BE FEARLESS...captures the meet of the book!

I have had the opportunity to hear Jean Case speak on several occasions. I was reading it during a very challenging time in our organization's trajectory. Jean helped me get back to my roots...stay focused on relationships. We slipped into being a transactional organization as opposed to being a relational organization.

The actual of valor appiled to every facet of our lives

The dawn of the New American Dream and its birth to the renowned entrepreneurs and their dedication is very well-prescribed in the book and I am more than happy to meet the author in person at an upcoming Virginia Tech’s Groundbreaking Event for Innovation Campus at Alexandria, VA as an invited Alum! All of my heartfelt gratitudes go for you, Jean to show us what it means to be an everyday heroes by jumping in the fire and get it done!! Act of valor!!
