JIM MORRIS
Author of Connect or Die · Keynote Speaker · Founder of Human Touch Publishing
Jim Morris teaches that real human connection is the only asset AI can't replace. After going from dealing drugs and nearly taking his own life to building multiple companies, delivering a TED talk, and founding the IMPACT Effect Conference, he wrote Connect or Die: How to Survive AI — a field manual of repeatable "connection reps" that make you the kind of human other humans bet on.
