You have to let it fuel you

I made posters out of the negative comments [I received]. These canvases have snarky comments from people. If a critic writes something, I tend to want to [hang] it up in my office and let it fuel me.”

"Mind-blowing

The Cool Tech Webinar program is a great opportunity to learn more about what’s next and develop the skills to be able to see beyond. It’s not about just find what is hype but understand behaviours and what is behind each seed. Carl brings to us several books as reference to prove his arguments and he is always willing to listen from us and share his knowledge. Besides that , you are involved in a multicultural environment with students from all over the world and have the opportunity to grow your network.

"Brilliant

I know Carl Rohde now for almost a decade. Especially the last half of it my team of teachers and students have participated in the Cool Food & Agriculture Hunt. (Actually, we have set it up with Rohde.) Cool Hunt is a refreshing combination of sparkling teaching and solid research. All involved teachers appreciate both Rohde’s enthusiasm and the depth of his validated food trends. We are looking for ways to extend the project in the near future.

Bryan K. O'Rourke - CEO, Fitness Industry Technology Council

"A must-have

I have met Dr. Carl Rohde at several conferences where we were both keynote speakers. I greatly respect his abilities as a speaker, thought leader, teacher and researcher. Carl demonstrates a rare combination of academic depth and sharp practical business insights. His work on future forecasting hunts for the fitness industry with several universities in the world is exceptional. The results are always sharp, surprising, and sometimes provocative but always based on sound & solid research. I hope to continue collaborating with Carl, deepening our bond in the decades ahead.

"Why didn't I think of that?

The Cool Hunt masterclasses by Carl Rhode were the most inspiring classes I followed throughout my school year. They show a refreshing, philosophical point of view on the world for everyone that wants to dive deeper than just the latest gadgets and hypes. The lectures are interactive and have profound content on different sectors of society. I enjoyed listening to the expertise and wit of professor Rhode.
