Laurence Pokras is one of the few authors that can be classified as atypical. As a global nomad and self-made millionaire, he founded Socially Hazardous, a multi-million dollar company he owned by 27 that had product distribution in over 20,000 stores globally. Instead of settling into a comfortable life, he chose to venture into over 50 countries searching for connection and truth. That unfiltered, unadulterated journey is beautifully chronicled in his memoir, My Socially Hazardous Life, which combines introspective personal commentary along with travel and social critique. His writing deeply challenges, provokes, and entertains any and all readers. An artist at heart, Pokras defies the standards of polished professional writing. This lack of refinement grants authenticity and rawness that his storytelling so deserves. His works touch on themes including but not limited to trauma, masculinity, the critique of success, and the true price of freedom in an appearance-driven world. In his own words, recounting courageous family conflicts, the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, and unfiltered international escapades, his narrative stands strong as a compelling exploration of genuine life.
