“September 29, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world, Rudolf Diesel, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident, suicide, or murder.”
Author, DOUG BRUNT, takes us on a journey into the life of this modern day Tesla.
We talk about his latest book, “The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel.”
In this wide-ranging discussion, we get into the world of writing, the entrepreneurism of being an author, the differences between fiction and non-fiction and his “Dedicated” podcast with the leading lights in the publishing world.
It’s a great listen for budding authors, readers and entrepreneurs.
