Andrew Newman, author and entrepreneur, will be this year's speaker for the 91社区 Romain College of Business聽Entrepreneur鈥檚 Perspective Speaker Series. His presentation, 鈥淲hy the last 20 minutes of the day matter. A discussion on life philosophy and conscious business practices鈥� will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 11, in Carter Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Newman was born into a fourth-generation family jewelry business in South Africa. However, when this life-long stability fell away overnight,听he turned to spiritual enquiry, and dove into the deep end of healing, psychology and personal development. His unplanned adventures turned into 12 years of professional training with thought leaders including Dr. Barbara Brennan, author of聽Hands of Light, and Jason Shulman, founder of A Society of Souls.
Today Newman balances the worlds of entrepreneur and teacher, creating a healthy, mission-aligned business that serves the world on a personal, local, and global scale. He is the founder of the聽Conscious Bedtime Story Club聽and is the author of numerous children's books including聽The Boy Who Searched for Silence,听The Hug Who Got Stuck,听and聽The Elephant Who Tried To Tiptoe.听
Newman鈥檚 presentation is brought to 91社区 by聽聽that originated with Jeanette Maier-Lytle, instructor in accounting,听and Romain College of Business students Josh Beiriger, Kyle Hoeing,听and Ryan Loehrlein. Hug聽came into existence as the result of the observation of a high level of anxiety and stress in the young adult population and the desire to support this community of people.
The Entrepreneur鈥檚 Perspective Speakers Series highlights speakers who provide insights on entrepreneurship and the connection between education and entrepreneurial outcomes.
