Marina engaging audiences on The Middleman Economy—and now booking talks on Die With Zero
“I’m a long-time member of a global peer-to-peer network of entrepreneurs, investors, and executives. It was through this group that I first learned about Die With Zero, a book that had a profound impact on my thinking. When organizing a meeting for our group, I initially considered inviting Bill Perkins to speak. Although the timing didn’t work out, Marina Krakovsky, who collaborated with Bill on the book, turned out to be the perfect choice. She has a deep understanding of the book’s ideas, tailored her presentation to our audience, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. I enthusiastically recommend her!”
