UTC 185 Be More Pirate author Sam Conniff

Sam Conniff author of Be More Pirate

Sam Conniff is an entrepreneur and author of the book “Be More Pirate”.  It’s an examination of how pirates rewrote the rules of their time and weaponized storytelling to change the world around them.  And then, how we use those lessons in our own time to make our world better?

In this episode:

  • How Sam’s business Livity worked with endangered kids to help them contribute to the way companies engage with them
  • How he used pirate publicity tactics to launch his book and is now moving into community building
  • How companies can rewrite their own rules and draft their own pirate codes
  • What might have happened if the pirate community in Nassau had been allowed to remain and develop?
