Dan Birdwhistell

Dan Birdwhistell is an entrepreneur and writer based in Nashville, TN. He is a graduate of both Cambridge University and Washington & Lee University and is currently serving as the CEO of bigsight media group. He is both a Truman Scholar and Gates Cambridge Scholar.

In addition to his Internet work, Dan is an avid researcher and has worked alongside Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi to study how individuals can cultivate happiness and creativity in their daily lives. Most recently he completed a two year study of “Good Work” in the context of higher education.

Over the past five years Dan has worked with McKinsey & Company, co-founded a toy company, helped launch an Internet design agency, and traveled to over 35 different countries. Given all of this action, he’s now devoting his full energy to building and scaling bigsight, which he ultimately hopes will help people promote their work, maintain their identity online, and connect with meaningful opportunities.
