• Fred Marshall Thurber Fred Marshall Thurber, (born April 3, 1943; in Rutland, Vermont), is an American attorney, entrepreneur, real estate investor, Inspirational speaker and teacher. He is the father of Rawson Marshall Thurber. Thurber is best known for his personal growth and development seminars, including Money & You® . Noted graduates of his courses and students of his work include motivational speaker/author Anthony Robbins (Awaken The Giant Within), authors Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul series), Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), Spencer Johnson (Who Moved My Cheese), Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, Paul Mitchell Systems cofounder John Paul DeJoria, Aveda Corporation founder Horst Rechelbacher. According to Chicken Soup for the Soul co-author Jack Canfield, “One of the most powerful trainings I ever took was called Money & You®, created by Marshall Thurber.” Thurber was co-founder (with Bobbi DePorter) of The Burklyn Business School and created The Accounting Game (granted a US Patent). Thurber is also the father of popular film director/producer/screenwriter/actor Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball, We’re The Millers, Central Intelligence). As a lawyer Thurber’s clients included Ben & Jerry’s and the Black Panther Party. Thurber is often thought to be the “Rich Rad” in former student Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad book series although he denies this. Thurber earned his BS undergraduate degree from Union College in 1961 and his law degree from Hastings College of Law, University of California. He was a founding partner of the Fisher Thurber law firm in La Jolla, California, specializing in business management practices. Thurber spent the early part of his law career defending conscientious objectors of Vietnam. While he did not technically win any cases, none of the cases he took continued to trial, resulting in none of the defendants he represented being prosecuted. In the 1970’s Thurber, along with two partners, founded the real estate firm Hawthorne & Stone in San Francisco, CA. He was the first real estate entrepreneur to buy and restore distressed Victorian Houses in Alamo Square, San Francisco, now known as the Painted Ladies. Upon the financial success of his real estate company, Thurber was able to procure a seat on the Chicago Board of Exchange. In the early 1980’s he invested and lost over $7 million dollars utilizing a principle from the butterfly effect. In 1978, Marshall Thurber and Bobbi DePorter founded The Burklyn Business School, a progressive conference and retreat center to positively influence global convergence through enhanced consciousness and transformation. The original Burklyn was a 1500 hundred-acre estate in Vermont (half of the Burklyn campus property was located in the town of Burke and the other half in the Lyndon township; hence the name Burklyn). It was designed to be a place to quiet the mind and ignite the soul, and teach both the global principles of cooperation Thurber learned from R. Buckminster Fuller and the contextual principles of the human potential movement. These had been demonstrated and proven in his own businesses. Thurber shared his business theories and methods with a variety of other successful organizations. Today, thousands of people worldwide use “Thurber Techniques” in their daily lives. Burklyn attracted many entrepreneurs, business owners and individuals from around the world. The school welcomed distinguished visiting scholars, the most famous being the celebrated futurist, inventor and philosopher R. Buckminster Fuller, who called Thurber “An evolutionary event in our time” during one of the classes he taught at Burklyn. While the original Burklyn School closed in the early 1980’s, its mission continues today in the ongoing live and online training lead by Thurber and his colleagues. Thurber developed and pioneered experiential learning and accelerated learning techniques and courses integrating them using his own theories and those of other educators such as R. Buckminster Fuller, W. Edwards Deming, Ilya Prigogine, Dr. Georgi Lozanov and other sources. In addition to Fuller and Deming, Thurber incorporates the theories of three Nobel Laureates: Roger Sperry for his split-brain research, Hans Selye for his breakthrough in the relationship of stress and learning, and Ilya Prigogine for his theory of dissipative structures. Thurber’s learning experiences deploy Roger Sperry’s seminal work in blending both the left and right hemispheres of the brain, a process resulting in hemisphere synchronization. These simulations activate both sides of the brain, which often creates stress (Selye) and perturbation (Prigogine). The intended outcome is to create a breakthrough in each student’s life-view, one that is more aligned with reality and thus more predictable. Like someone who turns on a light in a dark room, Thurber’s lessons are designed to extract the good coming from what is often perceived of as bad stress. The student experiences how to differentiate “stress” on a “meta” level.
