Erik Wahl and I have been in cahoots for nearly seven years now. He is an author, astonishing graffiti artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a corporate keynote speaker who travels the world sharing his undying love for the act of creation.
In the past ten years, he has shared his incredible message with the largest and most influential companies (Google, AT&T, Microsoft, NBC, CNN, Forbes, xPrize) in the world, leaving behind his prized artwork as a reminder of his passion for breakthrough thinking. He truly is the Warhol of Wall Street, the Renoir of ROI, and the Picasso of Productivity.
As his bestselling book, "UnThink" states, his goal is to teach these employees how to "unlearn" their typical corporate creative ruts and inspire them towards new innovations and superior levels of performance. He's got a million stories, but the one I love most is when a Microsoft employee who, in the middle of Erik's talk, was inspired to create an entirely new idea netting the company $20-$30 million dollars!
Here's a great photo (and video) of when my company, Dot&Cross, filmed Erik using everyday garden mulch to create this incredible reproduction of the Mona Lisa in the middle of a California desert!
Recently, Erik entered the following video to the American Cancer Society as part of his application to become their national spokesperson for 2016. And he was selected! In fact, as part of his deal, he strongly desired to have me present with him at a few of his upcoming events since, as he says, I have served as an inspiration for him! So in early August, I will be in Dallas, on stage with Erik at the 2016 Nationwide Relay For Life Leadership Conference!
Erik, you deserve a massive thank you, but in addition I have to declare a GIANT SHOUT OUT to Tasha, his wife! I have never met a woman who works half as hard as she does to promote her husband's message to the world. She is an unbelievable wife to Erik and still outruns her three soccer playing, song writing, world traveling boys! Trust me, these two working side-by-side makes them the power couple of the year... I love you both!
