ABOUT DIGITAL GODDESS
The best stories are honest stories, and that is what this book offers—even when it’s uncomfortable or unflattering.
Victoria Montgomery Brown has built and run Big Think for the last 12 years. It's become the leading digital media knowledge company, making people and companies smarter and faster with the world's best thinkers and doers.
It wasn't a venture-funded tech darling, born and raised in a Silicon Valley incubator. It's a scrappy, creative, labor of love that was born in a New York City bar and raised in a rented closet in someone else's office. It's had to fight for its existence most of the time.
BE INSPIRED TO TAKE THE LEAP...
