    Looptail-Bruce-Poon-Tip

    Bruce wrote an article in the Fall issue of The Art Of magazine. In the article, he summarizes some of the key points of Looptail and writes about leadership and innovation. From the article:

    One of my biggest “holes” as a leader is the fact that I have never really had a traditional job, as I founded G Adventures at a young age. I’ve been told that this has also allowed me to think in untraditional ways and not be stymied by established leadership methods and techniques.

    I have always been driven to put a large focus on innovation, allowing our company to grow in new and unique ways without the influence of what has been done in the past.

    An example of things that we have done that I write about extensively in my book Looptail: How One Company Changed the World by Reinventing Business is the evolution of our business model. It’s not only about the bottom-­line. We choose to focus on happiness, freedom, culture, karma and community.

    The Art Of magazine is available at Chapters/Indigo stores across Canada. You can read the article online here.

    Bruce sat down with Michael del Castillo to talk business philosophy and Looptail for Upstart Business Journal.

    From the article:

    “Twenty-three years ago, Bruce Poon Tip founded adventure travel company G Adventures, now operating in 100 countries and generating $170 million in revenue last year. And when the man who has hiked to the South Pole, played with otters in Southern Guyana and helped kick off the United Nations’ Year of Sustainable Tourism in 2002 decided to write a business book, Looptail, it was the Dalai Lama who came to his service.

    “I went to the Dalai Lama and told him that our business, and what we stand for, and what this book was about, was giving businesses a playbook to transcend their industries, transcend their products and engage their customers to a much higher purpose,” Poon Tip told Upstart Business Journal.”

  • Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

    Foreword

    Today, my first book Looptail: How One Company Changed the World by Reinventing Business is released. This whole process has been an incredible one for me – one that was topped off when His Holiness the Dalai Lama agreed to write the foreword for my book.

    Here is an excerpt from the Foreword:

    This book by Bruce Poon Tip encourages me. I met Bruce in May this year. In today’s materialistic world where people risk becoming slaves to money, Bruce seems to be one of those entrepreneurs who understand that human dignity, freedom and genuine well-being are more important than the mere accumulation of wealth. Wealth should serve humanity, and not vice versa. The stark economic inequality between rich and poor is not only morally wrong, but is the source of many practical problems, including war, sectarian violence, and the social tensions created by large-scale economic migration.

    Not only in his business, but also in this account of his adventures, Bruce Poon Tip is making an active contribution to creating a more peaceful and happier world, while at the same time creating a model from which others can learn.

    I hope that Looptail helps you discover more passion, purpose and happiness.
