Be More Pirate

As an ancient historian and a lover of tech, be more pirate feels so important as it looks to history to help us grip the future" Martha Lane-Fox ‘I watched Sam present Be More Pirate and immediately saw he’s created something that is timely and important. I got him in to give the same talk to inspire my entire team. This is an idea that’s going to explode’ Will Hudson, Founder and CEO of It’sNice That and Anyways. “Be More Pirate is a genuinely refreshing, entertaining and inspiring perspective on work, leadership and why we do what we do. it’s a call for a more radical rethink of where we’re going wrong, and where we’re going next” Bruce Daisley, Vice President EMEA at Twitter and Host of the Number 1 Business Podcast Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat. Pirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn’t just reject society, they reinvented it. They didn’t just tell tall tales, they told a story that shook the whole world. Pirates didn’t just challenge the status quo, they changed everyfuckingthing. They faced a self-interested establishment, certain uncertainty, a broken system and industrial-scale disruption (sound familiar?) so they turned pirate and rebelled against an unfair world and changed it for good. Be More Pirate draws parallels between the strategy and innovation of legends like Henry Morgan and Blackbeard with modern rebels, like Elon Musk, Malala and Blockchain, and reveals how to harness and apply their tactics to life and work today, and tomorrow.
