Self Awareness in a Crisis:

A Conversation with Kickstarter Co-Founder, Yancey Strickler

Do you want a clear framework to help you make difficult decisions?

Do you wonder why striving for financial success hasn't created value in your life?

Join us for a discussion with Yancey Strickler, co-founder and one-time CEO of Kickstarter, the ground-breaking crowdfunding site that has raised nearly $5 billion for more than 180,000 projects since 2005. Over the past few years, Yancey has developed his philosophy of "Bentoism," which encourages people to consider four different quadrants of self-interest to guide your decision-making. He argues that over time, financial maximization has grown to be the most important value in our society, because we understand self-interest too narrowly. In this talk, Yancey will explore leadership and self-awareness in a crisis, teaching the importance of making consistent, coherent decisions, and providing a values framework to do that.
