The Superconductors
The original book explores people whose ideas changed the way millions think about success, wealth, leadership and life.
Bruce Goldwell has never followed only one path.
Over the course of his life, he has worked across writing, entrepreneurship, songwriting, technology, business, personal development and creative projects.
He is also a Vietnam veteran whose life has included military service, periods of severe hardship, homelessness, reinvention and the long process of building a new direction.
Those experiences shaped the way Bruce writes.
His books frequently return to the same larger question:
For Bruce, writing became one answer.
At one point in his life, Bruce was homeless in Southern California.
That period could easily have become the end of the story he imagined for himself.
Instead, it became part of the beginning.
Bruce continued to hold onto the belief that where he was did not have to determine where he would remain.
He kept looking for ideas, people and opportunities that could point toward another path.
One of those paths eventually led him to CEO Space.
And that experience would stay with him for decades.
When Bruce first met Berny Dohrmann, he was mesmerized.
He had never met anyone quite like him before.
What made the experience even more powerful was Bruce's own situation at the time.
He was homeless.
Yet inside CEO Space, Bruce did not feel defined by that circumstance.
He was accepted as a person who had a dream and something to contribute.
Bruce began listening to people, learning what they were trying to accomplish and introducing individuals whose paths seemed to belong together.
That taught him an important lesson:
Even without money or status, Bruce could listen.
He could encourage.
He could connect.
He could help another person move closer to a dream.
What The Space Meant Berny's LegacyYears later, Bruce found another way to conduct ideas and encouragement:
Books.
A book allows knowledge to travel beyond the person who learned it.
An experience can become a lesson.
A lesson can become a chapter.
A chapter can reach a reader the author may never meet.
That reader may use the idea, share it, teach it or pass it forward again.
In that sense, writing became an extension of what Bruce had experienced inside The Space.
Connect something useful with someone who may need it.
Books about belief, mindset, possibility, achievement and personal transformation.
Ideas about building, leading, collaborating and helping other people become more capable.
Exploration of artificial intelligence, digital change and the larger transitions reshaping work, money and society.
Books designed to help readers better understand economic change, digital finance and practical financial choices.
Work shaped by Bruce's own military experience and his continuing desire to help veterans find a path forward.
Mystery, thriller, fantasy and other imaginative works that allow Bruce to explore possibility through story.
Bruce served in the United States Army and is a Vietnam veteran.
That experience remains part of the way he sees leadership, service, adversity and responsibility.
One of his continuing goals is to help other veterans discover that another direction remains possible, especially during periods when life feels uncertain or disconnected.
Sometimes that help comes through a book.
Sometimes through encouragement.
Sometimes simply through the reminder:
Bruce's work has crossed many fields over the years.
Writing.
Songwriting.
Computer programming.
Drafting.
Carpentry.
Entrepreneurship.
Personal development.
Technology.
Storytelling.
Rather than viewing those interests as unrelated, Bruce increasingly sees them as part of the same pattern.
Connect ideas across different worlds.
That, too, is a form of Superconductivity.
One field teaches something that becomes useful in another.
One experience supplies the metaphor for another book.
One conversation creates an entirely new project.
The original book explores people whose ideas changed the way millions think about success, wealth, leadership and life.
Book II returns to CEO Space and the people whose knowledge, leadership, encouragement and connections helped make The Space meaningful.
The book that introduced Bruce's idea of people who conduct success, knowledge and possibility to others.
A practical exploration of the personal strengths, mindset and abilities already available within you.
Ten megatrends reshaping our lives, our money, our work and our future.
Bruce still carries the lesson he learned in The Space:
Listen.
Connect.
Encourage.
Share what you know.
Help another person move closer to the future they are trying to create.
Books are simply one of the ways Bruce continues doing that today.
