Howdy, friend!
Welcome to robinpzander.com, my home on the Internet. I’m Robin Peter Zander, a serial entrepreneur and author of two books, How to Do a Handstand and Responsive: What It Takes To Create A Thriving Organization.
I am the host of Snafu w/ Robin Zander, a podcast which has more than 100,000 downloads. I also publish Snafu as a free, weekly email that shares a article about authentic selling in a chaotic world and describes three of the coolest things I’ve found that week. The newsletter goes out to about 10,000 people and takes just a few minutes to read.
Since this blog has been ongoing for more than a decade, I created this page as a helpful place for new visitors to discover some of the most popular content.
It’s easier than wandering through 1,000+ posts!
If you like what you see, I invite you to sign up for Snafu. You can also subscribe to the podcast Snafu with Robin Zander on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Overcast, Amazon Music, Audible, or on your preferred podcast platform.
Please enjoy!
