What happens to a child when no one tells them they have a dream worth chasing? Orphaned before his teenage years, raised by a village, and shaped by a set of tools he didn't fully understand until much later, Dr. Titus L. Hopper has spent over two decades watching what happens when young people are given a dream and what is lost when they are not. A Boss Called Dream is part memoir, part call to action, and part practical toolkit. Drawing on neuroscience, education research, and raw personal experience, Dr. Hopper identifies the tools that turn apathy into ambition. A dream is more than just a wish, it is a compass. And a compass changes how a person moves. Whether you are a teen trying to figure out who you are, an adult who lost the thread of your own dream somewhere along the way, or an educator, parent, or mentor trying to reach the young person in front of you, this book was written for you.

The Claus Evolution is a professional development movement for holiday performers— a webinar series, a community and now a book. We emphatically assume the stance that the holiday entertainment industry deserves the same caliber of professional development available to any other field. Doctors have continuing education. Educators have professional learning communities. Business owners have coaches and consultants and masterminds. But holiday performers? For too long, the options were limited.

The Claus Evolution is for veterans and rookies, Santas and Mrs. Clauses, solo acts and full entertainment companies who long for an opportunity to learn, grow, ask honest questions, and be challenged by someone who has done the work and is willing to share what he's learned.

The content in this book will catalyze transformation and performers will receive strategies that are immediately deployable. Are you ready for a renewed vision of what your holiday business could become? You are either green and growing or ripe and rotting. #ReadySetGrow
