About Bruce Kasanoff
I'm Bruce Kasanoff, founder of Kasanoff.ai. For years, I described myself as a coach and a ghostwriter. Those words weren't wrong, but they were lacking. They named what I did. They said nothing about who I am.
Who I am: someone who takes simple ideas and builds them into life-changing experiences. Who makes complexity land as clarity in someone's mind, like a gift they didn't know they needed. Who has been paid, in every form and through every career chapter, to make ideas move from potential to reality.
What I'm Good At…
Making ideas land powerfully in other people's minds
Synthesizing complexity into elegant simplicity
Asking questions that unlock people
Seeing what others don't see… yet
Building from zero
Hearing someone's authentic voice and amplifying it
Hosting and curating transformative experiences
Writing that moves people to act
One of the original LinkedIn influencers, I have built a following of over 400,000 subscribers to my newsletters:
Bruce Kasanoff on Substack—my most personal and provocative writings go here.
Mountain Minute—how to grow your career by helping others
Meditate for Peace—over 87,000 souls around the world who meditate daily for peace

I have written six books, including How to Self-Promote without Being a Jerk.
A proud member of Marshall Goldsmith's 100 Coaches program, I fully embraces its mandate to be of the greatest possible service to others.
I earned an MBA at The Wharton School and has presented my ideas at Wharton, Yale University and New York University.
I split my time between Bend, Oregon and New York City.
