Topic 1: Trolls Are Born, Not Made

While self esteem is a factor, Internet trolls don’t have low self esteem. They have a high tendency to sadism. When mixed with high self esteem, you get a troll.

Who are these people and how did they become trolls. Research gives us some insights.

Topic 2: Async Business Collaboration Models

One of Karl's favorite topics! Let's focus on focus. Asynchronous communication goes a long ways to making focus possible and effective.

If you can find people who work asynchronously, and give them the right tools, amazing things can be done.
