"Of the art that has impacted me greatly, I say to myself "I didn't know you could do that!" And of the guests in this course, I say to myself "I didn't know you could be that!" Amazing people who defy all expectations about what a life's journey can be."

— Chris Middings

Approximately 1,000 people have taken this course. Here's what they thought…

"A reframe on how to think about business. Not so much a course, but a series of questions to grapple with and find the answers for yourself."

"Duke's been around the block and understands that business isn't about spreadsheets and conventional ways to operate. It's about healthy engagement of employees and customers through creativity, moral ethics and wonder. Honestly, sign up for the next one, now."

"One of the more meaningful and profoundly impactful things I’ve listened to, watched, and learned from in a very long time. Incredibly inspiring."

"...A reminder that good shit really does exist in the world."

"While most courses are about drilling down, Bonfire with Soul is about opening up. This course will change you."

YOUR QUESTIONS

Why should I go for this course and not an established business school?
Good question. Put simply, if you want to learn about doing business with more soul, there is no-one better to show you how than Duke. In Bonfire with Soul, he consolidates his 30+ years of unlearning and learning, most of which he has found doesn’t take place in the classroom. Plus, this course is 0.03% of the cost of Harvard Business School.  

—

Why take this course now?
A recent study shows that the vast majority of people are not engaged at work, don't feel like they have a vibrant culture and would take a new job if there was the right offer. Yet when you have an engaged culture you can increase revenue four times. Duke will teach you how to build this.
