I love to read. I love everything about books. LLMs will not replace good writing anytime soon, although they have mastered the art of slop. Oh, and I love communities of people who love writing and reading.
Authors & Innovators is a free, community-based event happening on October 30th in Newton, MA, for entrepreneurs, students, CEOs, venture and angel investors, and anyone interested in business. I attended in person a few years ago, and this year I will be there virtually with my book Give First: The Power of Mentorship (and a video). Larry Gennari created it a while ago, and if you like books, writers, readers, and entrepreneurship, it’s a blast.
Their overall goal is to introduce new ideas, foster meaningful dialogue, and move their motivated audience to read business books and engage with other like-minded entrepreneurs to learn more about the exciting journey of building a business!
This year, their theme is The Resilient Entrepreneur. They will be celebrating the spirit that drives founders to adapt, evolve, and thrive. Through thought-provoking conversations with visionary authors and business leaders, we’ll explore how resilience fuels innovation, creativity, and growth—both personally and collectively. From navigating uncertainty to cultivating curiosity and courage, this event shines a light on the mindset and community that empower entrepreneurs to turn challenges into catalysts for change.
The event is complementary, but registration is required at www.authorsinnovators.org.
