MASTERPIECE: The Emotional Journey to Creating Anything Great...Anything
Dean Stoecker is the co-founder and executive chairman of Alteryx, a multi-billion dollar data analytics company. But his path to that success was not linear or logical or without its deep swamps of despair. Dean had many entrepreneurial false starts before he finally found his path.
In this candid, engaging book, he describes the emotional journey that inevitably accompanies any success in life. We all want to create something great—a great marriage, a great friendship, a great career, a great family, and if you're as fortunate as Dean, a great business.
But building any masterpiece is as difficult as it is rewarding. People give up. They lose confidence. They can't get through the tough parts. But, as Dean's own story shows, most failures are not failures of vision or talent, but of belief and will. In fact, they're not even failures at all. If you can learn to navigate the often overwhelming obstacles and dark moments, your efforts will be rewarded.
Based on Stoecker's years of hard-earned wisdom, Masterpiece is much more than a window onto the founding of a tech giant. It offers universal and timeless lessons for any journey you might be on.

About the Author

Dean Stoecker was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He earned his undergraduate degree in International Business from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1979, and in his senior year became a Shellback, the nautical designation for having sailed around the world during a Semester at Sea, a program then sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh. He earned his MBA from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
Dean caught the entrepreneurial bug working with his father and siblings as a teenager, which ultimately led him in 1997 to become the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Alteryx, Inc. Twenty years after he started his journey with Alteryx, Dean took the company public on the New York Stock Exchange. Dean retired his CEO role 23 years after founding the company and currently serves as Executive Chairman.
Today, in addition to visiting with the grandkids and walking Truman, their Australian Shepherd, Dean and his wife Angie devote time to their i-Rise Foundation, which seeks to increase opportunities for underserved youth around the world.
