Hamid Ghanadan always wanted to find a third way. Being strongly encouraged by his family to study medicine or engineering, he found a third way to study both art and science. Exploring his job options, he was again encouraged by his advisors to choose between a career as a biochemist, either in academia or in industry. Instead, Hamid founded the strategy firm-LINUS-in 1996, dedicating his careerto studying human behavior within technical environments, and developing new models for marketing, strategic communications, future visioning and strategic planning. This path has offered Hamid many opportunities to find a third way: he is the author of two other books: Persuading Scientists and Catalytic Experiences. He is a frequent speaker at many industry events as well as the global stage at TEDx, and heis proud to have won several honors, including the SAMPS Lifetime Achievement Award and MM+M's Pinnacle Award. He lives in Colorado with his family, helping his team and his clients to grow by finding a third way.
