SUMMARY:In conversation with Jimmy Wales (virtual event)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual Live Talks Los Angeles event:\nTuesday\, November 11\, 2025\, 6pm PT/9pm ET\n \n**An Evening with Jimmy Wales\ndiscussing his book\, “The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last.”** \n \n*This event is taped with an audience on November 4.* \nVIRTUAL EVENT TICKETS (**US Orders Only**)\nTuesday\, November 11\, 2025\, 6pm PT/9pm ET\n$48 Virtual Admission + signed book (**includes shipping to US addresses only**). Includes access to watch the event on November 11 at 6pm PT/9pm ET and on video-on-demand for five days.. \n***From the founder of Wikipedia\, a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge\, revealing “the rules of trust” that transformed Wikipedia from a scrappy experiment into a global utility used by billions of people—and how those rules can help others build things that last.*** \n**Jimmy Wales** is an internet entrepreneur who is best known as the founder of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. Named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People\, he was also acknowledged by the World Economic Forum as one of the top 250 leaders across the world for his professional accomplishments\, his commitment to society\, and his potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world. Born in Huntsville\, Alabama\, he lives with his family in London. \n“Trust is a feeling. We can’t ‘convince’ someone to trust\, they have to feel it. Sadly\, we now live in a world in which it’s often hard to know who or what we can trust. Where some of the biggest online companies are trying to allow for public regulation of their content\, only to significantly harm their trustworthiness\, Wikipedia is the exception. What does Wikipedia know that others don’t and how can more companies adopt their practices to make our digital world safer and\, well\, more trustworthy? Thank you to Jimmy Wales for founding Wikipedia and now\, for the first time\, telling us how he did it!”—**Simon Sinek**\, New York Times bestselling author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game\, and host of the podcast *A Bit of Optimism*. \nFrom the beginning\, people predicted Wikipedia’s demise. Instead\, this global experiment in sharing knowledge and expertise online has become part of the fabric of modern\, connected life. Today\, every month\, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times—just in the English language. The Internet’s encyclopedia has become a global utility\, like water or electricity\, and we rarely pause to consider the extraordinary fact of its existence. \nLong before it became the biggest collection of knowledge in the history of the world\, Wikipedia had to overcome its greatest challenge: getting strangers on the Internet to trust each other. They had to trust that others would not be abusive or uncivil. They had to trust that others would not unfairly change or erase their contributions. They had to trust that people had good intentions. \nTrust\, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says\, is a treasure. But it is not inanimate\, like gold or gems. Trust is a living thing that can and must be cultivated. This book will show you how. And it will reveal how his organization\, this one-time punchline\, has become a global authority—in the same two decades when the public’s trust in everything else\, from government to social media\, has trended backwards.  \nEvery community on earth depends on trust; it underpins our capacity to know things\, and it is at an all-time low. Inspiring\, approachable\, and packed with candid lessons from the early days of Wikipedia\, The Seven Rules of Trust is a guide to kickstarting a positive loop of accountability and creativity—and to building things that stand the test of time.

Sir Roger A. Deakins is widely regarded as the greatest cinematographer of all time. Roger has been nominated for 16 Academy Awards\, winning twice for Blade Runner 2049 and 1917. He has also been nominated 11 times for the BAFTA award\, winning on five occasions. Roger has been awarded Lifetime Achievement Awards from the American Society of Cinematographers\, the British Society of Cinematographers\, and the National Board of Review. He is also the sole cinematographer to have been honored with a CBE\, in 2013\, and a knighthood\, in 2021. Roger splits his time between England and California\, with his wife and longtime collaborator\, James. You can follow them here. Cinematography is both an art and science—capturing motion requires a combination of skill\, ingenuity\, and artistic genius. Lighting\, camera movement\, and framing are just a few of the important components in the process of turning words on a page into unforgettable moving images. Over the course of a brilliant 50-year career\, Sir Roger Deakins has proven to be the greatest artist & visionary that the craft of cinematography has ever known. n Reflections: On Cinematography\, Deakins offers his fans and film enthusiasts a one-of-a-kind look into his life and improbable road to Hollywood immortality. Readers will discover how “the boy from Torquay\, England” overcame a troubled childhood to enter his way into art school; his fortuitous entry into world of documentary filmmaking (including a yacht race around the world); to shooting groundbreaking music videos such as Herbie Hancock’s “Rock It\,” to his singular film career\, including his longtime collaborations with the Coen Brothers\, Sam Mendes\, and Denis Villeneuve. Filled with never-before-seen storyboards\, sketches\, and diagrams\, Rogers shows readers how he created some of the most iconic scenes in the most beloved films of all time. Through candid\, lyrical prose\, Deakins reflects on his life and each of his projects; how he helped shape them\, and how they shaped him. A truly unique visual memoir\, Reflections is for film fans and general readers alike\, and for anyone looking to find inspiration\, beauty\, and creativity by looking through the singular lens with which Roger views the world.
