In late 2014, a friend sent Chris an email about a new college program where students could earn a degree in “disruption.” While Chris wasn’t interested in another degree (for now), he was interested in this new term which seemed to perfectly summarize his life. From running for mayor at age 19 to running marathons and ultra marathons, from Guinness World Record attempts to founding innovative non-profits, Chris had been “disrupting” the status quo since long before he knew there was a name for it. Since that fateful email, Chris has learned everything he can about disruption and, specifically, what characteristics and tendencies disruptors seem to share. Now, he shares that knowledge with anyone who wants to ask better questions, challenge the status quo, and change the world around them. This subject is perfect for any groups who want to push the envelope, lean into the future, and embrace innovation that brings change. What is a disruptor? What do disruptors do? What characteristics do most disruptors share with one another? Why is it that disruptors seem to be the ones who change the world? What can every group or company learn about disruption that will make them better than their
competitors? How can every person get more of what they want out of life by implementing these unique disruption techniques?
