Steve Sims is the Founder of The Bluefish, a luxury experiential concierge firm, author of the best-selling book “Bluefishing” and is releasing his latest book “Go for Stupid” which asks the question, what would you achieve if you weren’t afraid of being laughed at? 

In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite. In “Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals” Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. 

From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo’s David, to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.
