Easy to read, interesting stories and advice that can be applied to business situations or extended into one's personal life. I loved the concepts of igniting, fueling, accelerating and especially extinguishing - a very visual and easy to relate to metaphor. It is as important to see what prevents new ideas from taking hold, as it is to see what promotes and feeds disruptive changes.
There is wisdom in this book for every reader, at all career and life stages. From the people who are, or desire to be, firestarters; to those that want to identify or support them, this book gives them a practical and useful research based framework to evaluate their ideas and develop successful paths forward,

I received my copy today and I'm unable to put it down. I have had the honor and privilege to work 1-on-1 with one of it's authors, Kathy Palokoff. She is a "true firestarter" that has been a great source of inspiration as I launch a new business. Kathy lives the life of an "igniter" that helps others pursue their dreams. This book is an example of that!

I don't believe in doing things "average". To stand out, we've got to rise above the rest and do something worth doing. But how? I loved how the Firestarter framework shared stories of other firestarters (what an awesome thing to call them, too!) in a way to showed me how to do big things and be disruptive in the marketplace. Would definitely recommend!
