His new book, Expert mavericks was #1 Top seller on Amazon in 3 different business categories! I’m one of the youngest graduation speakers at University of Johannesburg for their Engineering dept.

In my rather brief career, I’ve helped over 1,000 young entrepreneurs, project developed an online platform to create 50,000 websites (one every 10 minutes!), filed 2 patents and started 3 companies.

The third was a cleantech non-profit in Silicon Valley, California. Craig Wing is now a partner at the 27 year old FutureWorld, helping clients understand the nexus of Future Strategy.
