Why Not a Traditional Speaker Kit?
Because traditional speaker kits are exactly that — traditional.
I'm John Rossman. I advise Fortune 1000 CEOs on high-stakes decisions in an AI-driven era. I wrote the book — four of them, actually — on how to think and lead like the world's most innovative companies.
A PDF with a headshot. a bio and links doesn't reflect how I think, how I work, or what I bring to your stage. This does.

The Pig, the Lipstick and the Playbook of Champions:
Reclaim Your Competitive Advantage and Culture to Win
The Rossman Business Manifesto is like a shot of espresso for your business and culture. It's a guide to escaping mediocrity and becoming legendary in your industry. Think of it as a three-part journey: first, build a rock solid foundation with a transformative purpose, principles, and awesome people with goals. Then, chase perfection by staying humble, designing metrics, and building a machine for your operations. Finally, take "Big Bets"—AKA calculated risks—that could launch you into the stratosphere. If you're ready to say "bye-bye" to boring and "hello" to being a champion, this manifesto is your new best friend.
