Everywhere we go, every workshop we run, people ask us the same question: What can be done about conflict entrepreneurs? You know, those people and companies that exploit and inflame conflict — for their own ends?

We heard you, which is why we created this new mini course on conflict entrepreneurs just for our subscribers: to share all of our best advice from years of research, reporting and trial and error. In under 40 minutes, you’ll learn to identify and handle the conflict entrepreneurs in your life, work and media feed. And you’ll leave with 30+ tactics for dealing with them, all listed in a downloadable Conflict Entrepreneur toolkit you can take with you.
