By most measures, Ian Winer was thriving in his finance career: he was making a lot of money; every major publication from CNBC to The Wall Street Journal to Bloomberg relied on Winer as a regular on-air contributor. But underneath all the accolades, he was unfulfilled and unhappy. While writing his first book, Ubiquitous Relativity, Ian was led to make a “psychic shift,” and left his job and Wall Street behind to explore it.

In this unique talk, Winer will recount his life and publishing journey, and then discuss ways he is using his “ubiquitous relativity” in the marketing and sale of his book. He will share his inspiring new perspective on success, one especially relevant to authors. He’ll discuss how you stay strong when you are exposing yourself and making yourself vulnerable with your book. He will share how he stays focused on the purposes and goals he’s captured in his book.

Ian Winer connects people to the truth of market places and human behavior. His unique approach to analyzing and predicting outcomes is built on his philosophy of "Ubiquitous Relativity", a phrase he coined in 2016 after a chance encounter picking his nose at a stop light. His trademark offering is a source of fun and entertaining insight into markets that, more often than not, are born from his uniquely non-consensus thinking. Winer was so moved by this philosophy that he decided to leave a career in finance after 22 years to pursue it in greater detail. In other words, he decided it was time to "walk the walk."

A survivor of abuse, addiction, and “fear based” living, Winer spent his early years searching for the “answer” to life’s major question of “Can I make a difference in this life?” Living through multiple boom and bust cycles and personally going from penthouse to outhouse, Winer’s story is one of rising from the ashes where we can all take heed.

Ian's debut book, Ubiquitous Relativity: My Truth is Not The Truth, describes the journey that led him to this life pivot; in bookstores June 4th, 2019.
