Brad Szollose
Brad Szollose (pronounced ZOL-us), is a lifelong serial entrepreneur starting his first business at the age of 16, simply because his Hungarian immigrant father made it so hard to ask for a twenty-dollar bill, it was easier to start a business.
Through the years, he started one company after another while living in NYC.
But it was Brad’s fourth company—K2 Design—that became a publicly traded company on NASDAQ in an IPO.
As a result, Brad was thrust into the limelight as a dot-com executive, and has been featured in Forbes and Inc. Magazines, Advertising Age, and has appeared on international television shows, podcasts, and other media outlets.
Brad is a graphic designer and creative director with over 40+ years of experience within multiple disciplines—from designing corporate events, to print design and websites, he has a spectrum of experiences working with hundreds of Fortune 500 companies through the years.
“I believe design should be exciting. Look at the products that excite you and entice you to buy them. That is where I believe design is integral to our daily lives
In addition to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Brad is also the award-winning author of Liquid Leadership, which delves deeply into modern management principles and his own understanding of today’s generational divide in business. “What motivates a Millennial will not motivate a Baby Boomer.”
Liquid Leadership has just been updated in a new paperback 10th Anniversary Edition with new content and predictions.
Brad is also the host of his own podcast Awakened Nation, a podcast dedicated to real and authentic conversations with today’s cutting-edge outliers and entrepreneurs.
“I never want to have a bland conversation.
I want a deep understanding of what makes my guests have the tenacity to keep going.”
Brad and Rob met online, and it turns out, they are both from the Lancaster/Lebanon area in Pennsylvania. “I believe small-town values have made me who I am today.”
Brad’s passion is to ignite deeper conversations that awaken people to so many of the radical changes taking place around the world. From advances in art and science, to video games and technological advances, to human longevity and consciousness raising.
His TEDx Talk delves deeply into The Age of Radical Disruption, and how a new generation known as Millennials, raised on Video Games, is approaching world problems through gaming.
He currently lives in Las Vegas with his fiancé Thao, and enjoys hiking in the mountains of the Southwest.
