In 2012 George Chanos had a heart attack which sent him on a whole new direction. He wanted to prepare his 15 year old daughter for her future. So, he began writing her a letter which eventually evolved into his first book ‘Seize Your Destiny: A Road Map to Success’.
Then he realized that the world he had lived in was not the world that his daughter was going to live in— she was going to live in the next 30 to 50 years. So he began doing research into the future and what he saw amazed him, which became his second book: ‘Millennial Samurai: A Mindset for the 21st century’ to educate her and his nephews and nieces and other people.
He has also been called a futurist and a visionary. He’s an author, speaker, and mentor.
