I am an avid reader, a really avid reader. No business book has ever brought me to such a highly emotional state that I have had tears welling up in my eyes. Your book has had that effect on me. Why? Because it creates practical and implementable methods and processes and hope that many people can have deeply meaningful and rewarding work. That includes CEO s, C level executives, and all the way through to the new hire, and on to it s customers and shareholders. --Gordon McDougall, entrepreneur

This book is one of the most interesting and comprehensive business guides I ve ever read and I ve read quite a few. I can t even imagine starting a business today, without The Culture Blueprint by my side. Get your hands on it when it comes out! I personally guarantee you ll be glad you did. --Steve Dorfman, host of We Mean Business!

I was simply blown away. I read The Culture Blueprint and it transformed the way I think about my companies. I brought Robbie in for a speech, and he did more than just talk about culture, he gave us an experience that became a catalyst moment. The teams not only saw the importance of a strong culture, they are now excited about it and realize it s everyone s responsibility, not just mine as CEO. Rather than viewing this as a mandatory program forced on them from outside, they are now excited about co-creating and maintaining strict adherence to these core values! I m confident that if we ever veer off course, we have this shared experience to remember and reconnect us with what s really important. Any company could benefit from Robbie s wisdom. However, if you re a growing company, it s imperative that you speak with him immediately to harness the chaos, catalyze the vision, and stabilize for the future. --James Wallace, CEO Scorpio Media
