Burn Your Portfolio continues to attract the spotlight. In the latest issue of Business Q magazine, Burn Your Portfolio was highlighted in section, “The Q List: Our favorite items of business this quarter.” They even slapped author Michael Janda’s gigantic bald melon on the page.

“Michael Janda is on fire.

Not only is he the founder of RiSER in Pleasant Grove (the No. 14 Fastest-Growing Company on the 2013 UV50, mind you), he’s the author of a brand new book, ‘Burn Your Portfolio: Stuff they don’t teach you in design school, but should.’

The book features five sections: Human Engineering; Art Smarts; Two Ears, One Mouth; Happy Head Honchos; and Mind Your Business. Plus, it has more than 200 ingenious illustrations and 111 chapters with titles that fan the flame. (Our personal favorite? Drama is for Soap Operas.)

Ladies and gents, meet your match.”

What do Heisman Trophy Winner, Ty Detmer and Michael Janda have in common? Other than the obvious raw athleticism and football prowess, they were both featured in the September/October 2013 issue of Utah Valley Magazine. Sure, Ty Detmer graced the cover and six pages of the interior. But Michael Janda really shined in the one paragraph highlighting his new book, Burn Your Portfolio, in the Cool Products Made in UV article. Check out page 26.
