Jesper K. Lassen

Jesper K. Lassen has been on a stage since he was seven years old. He is a mentalist — more than a thousand performances, and his own documentary series on Danish national television.

He is the founder of VEN Method, a social-emotional learning company built on one idea: connection is something children can be taught, and most of us were left to pick it up by luck. VEN Method builds connection and community in classrooms and at home — a whole group around one shared thing, in place of individual screen time.

He wrote the Bob & Otto books so the youngest readers could practice the same thing on paper, with a grown-up: hear one side, turn the book over, hear the other, and ask.

Jesper K. Lassen is Danish. VEN Method is based in Texas.
