#14: PROBLEM SOLVING with Charles Conn, author of"Bulletproof Problem Solving: The One Skill That Changes Everything Bulletproof Problem Solving: The One Skill That Changes Everything" - a podcast by Carlo Pignataro

If you are like me, and probably many other people around you, you may get discouraged everytime you hear the word problem, or when you find yourself in a tricky situation that requires a certain level of structured thinking.

From today onwards, this will change.

By listening to this episode of the podcast, you will learn that not only complex problem solving is the skill that will support you throughout your personal and professional life, but also one that, contrary to popular belief, is accessible to anyone, also the people who don’t have a scientific, or mathematical background.

I am extremely pleased to welcome to the show Charles Conn, the author of the best selling book “Bulletproof problem solving, the one skill that changes everything” and you can rest reassured, dear listener, that I won’t spare any question that may help you (and myself too) find better solutions to the various problems we face in our lives, from changing job or place to live, to deciding where to invest our money, from taking decisions related to our health, to helping our businesses or our clients navigate complex and turbulent times.

Charles Conn is a graduate of Harvard and Boston Universities and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

He was a technology entrepreneur and as founding CEO of Ticketmaster he led the company through its IPO and the acquisitions of Match.com, Evite and other companies.
