They not only left inspired, but had fun!"

A Touch of the Madness Music Video
We wrote an original song that embodies the message of A Touch of the Madness. We think a music video to bring awareness to a book and speaker is a first – and is kind of crazy. So, perfect! We encourage you embrace the madness, but mostly, have fun watching and listening to the video!
"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mr. Kasanoff over the last 5 years on several projects, including both corporate-level and theatrical releases. He brought a critical level of experience and knowledge, as well as creativity to address our challenges."

After I read “A Touch of the Madness", I immediately bought 51 copies for our business mastermind members and our Red Dragon studio owners because the book’s take on innovation is ageless, timeless and incredibly productive. And the book is also an insiders guide for success as an entrepreneur. There is truly a method to his madness.’
CHRIS CASAMASSA
CEO of Red Dragon Karate
“E! has been reporting on Kasanoff and his movies for years, but we never got the real behind the scenes scoop – the literal method to his madness of creativity – until now. It’s a fun, helpful read!”
Larry Namer,
founder of E! Entertainment
“[Larry Kasanoff] (is spinning) gold from digital threads.”
“[Larry Kasanoff] turns out as much content… as most studios a thousand times its size.”
