Calling All Brainstormers..

[AA1980]

A good friend of mine spent the past handful of years as an emerging markets equity portfolio manager. His returns were very good. He worked at one firm that tanked due to other strategies (not his). His former boss has made a lot of enemies in the business, and he has paid the price; no one wants to hire him.

Since then, I bought him a copy of Unscripted and he loves it. Now we're trying to figure out some way he can use his background to actually become unscripted, and enter the fastlane.

Any ideas? To get the process started, I've asked him to think about problems he has faced in his business, and how there might be solutions there but nothing yet.

Thanks!
