the culture of work, and how it’s changing business and lives,” says Dave
Ramsay, who runs the “Ramsay Talks” series in Toronto.

his reputation as a gifted humorist and savvy critic of how technology
shapes our culture. He wrote for HBO’s hit series Silicon Valley, and
published Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble, a rollicking
New York Times best-selling memoir about his time working inside a
cult-like tech startup run by Millennials. Dan has written for the New York
Times, Fortune, Forbes, Newsweek, and many others. He’s quick on his feet,
loves doing Q&A, and will have your audience in stitches with his
laugh-out-loud stories and self-deprecating wit. He aims to entertain but
also to inform, leaving your audience with new ideas and a fresh
perspective.
