In 2009, he organized and executed a speaking tour of the mainland United States, driving 13,934 miles in a hybrid car and doing 41 events in 39 cities.  He was concerned about polarization and hysteria – which seemed to be spiraling out of control – and the theme of his talks was ‘Re-humanization of the relationship between America and the Muslim world.’  

The acclaim for his very entertaining ‘narrative performance’ was astonishing (see link below).

However, once his tour was underway, he received numerous e-mails from people around America – asking when he was coming to their city, and even complaining that their city was not included in the tour.  He promised to do a tour again, with even wider coverage.  

50-City Speaking Tour of Entire Mainland United States

This was an amazing talk.  Imran weaved Shakespeare, re-humanization, anthropology, current affairs, Islam and the West, geo-politics, corporate life, self-help, spirituality, motivation and following your dream into a wonderful, engaging and hilarious narrative that had me riveted.

I’ve been to many talks by famous writers, but this was the most enjoyable one ever.
