The Chair of the Clare Tourism Advisory Board claims increased tourist traffic doesn't necessarily mean greater profits for tourism-dependent businesses. The latest Central Statistics Office figures show the number of foreign visitors to Ireland in June was up 8% compared to the same month last year with 669,500 having visited our shores across the month. The average vistor spent €1,437 over the course of their trip with €458 going towards accommodation - up from €435 in June 2023. Hotel Woodstock Co-Owner and Clare Tourism Advisory Board Chair Sean Lally says hotels aren't hiking their prices but are in fact being forced to offer more competitive rates.

You know, today's math is not for the faint! Plus, the real question you should be asking your child's teacher is if he or she is on grade level. National research reveals a significant disparity between what parents think about their child's educational progress and how their child is really doing. Lucky for our listeners, Tracie Potts pulled up to the podcast donning her cape as Advisory Board Chair for Learning Heroes, an educational advocacy organization that empowers parental engagement. She and SJR discussed ways to strengthen the parent-teacher partnership, support student learning at home, and equip families with educational resources. This episode will remind you that teachers are skilled professionals who are willing to point people in the direction of developmental success. But it's up to us, as parents and guardians, to meet them halfway. Become a Learning Hero when you visit www.gobeyondgrades.org for more resources, including summer learning opportunities!

The development of medical treatments often requires use of human subjects, as well as human cells and body parts as models of human systems, to investigate mechanisms of action and to test therapeutics. Biotechnology has provided many successful therapies for previously intractable conditions, but also increasingly complex techniques that can alter what it means to be human and blur ethical lines. When we consider stem cells, cloning, gene editing, human-animal chimeras, organoids, embryoids and so-called synthetic embryos, what is ethical and what crosses the line of human dignity? Is any scientific endeavor justifiable because of a potential for cures, or are there ethical limits to efforts to heal or eliminate certain diseases all together? Do ethical alternatives exist that would benefit humanity without losing our ethical integrity?The Charlotte Lozier Institute has developed the Handbook of Nascent Human Beings to explain the science and to stimulate discussion on the ethics and moral permissibility of modern medicine and biotechnology.

Dr. John D. Erickson has joined Convene as an Advisory Board Chair because he is passionate about growing thriving leaders. Johns says he “wants to bring you tangible value as a Convene Board member, and to walk with you wherever God is taking us together." John lives in Lafayette, Indiana, the home of Purdue University, his undergraduate alma mater. He's also a former engineer with the US Navy in naval aircraft development, as well as the US State Department, traveling with the Secretary of State, and developing security protocols for US embassies around the world. During that time, he and his family lived in Kenya and Israel, and traveled extensively in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. John's government and international experience provide a unique worldview, and an ability to understand the events around us with a broader perspective. John encourages leaders to develop a wider view of the world beyond their immediate life circumstances. The second phase of his career took him to seminary at Trinity International University (TEDS) near Chicago, where he earned a doctorate in Practical Theology. Some of his writing includes Three Paths out of Paradise, a book which explores the root motivations behind our desires and decisions, especially in the face of stress or pain. Its central idea drives passion for supporting leaders: “You will either flounder or flourish in every relationship depending on how well you know your own heart.” An important part of John's relationship with leaders has been showing them how to understand and deepen their hearts for God, their families, and their workplaces.

Data Futurology - Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence From Industry Leaders
Kevin Ross has had more than 20 years of experience in using data, science and analytics to lead decision-making. Now, as the CEO at Precision Driven Health, and Advisory Board Chair at the NAOI (Natural, Artificial and Organisational Intelligence) Institute, he is placed right at the heart of the data discussion in New Zealand. He joins us on the Data Futurology podcast this week to discuss the evolving role of data in healthcare, and how it has broadened to really start to embrace personalisation. “We have this fantastic opportunity other there where we know that health doesn't make use of all the data that's out there,” he said. “Imagine what you could achieve if you added the computational power of AI into diagnosis and healthcare. The potential is amazing for guiding people to understand themselves and their outcomes. “It is being driven by consumers looking for health to provide them the same services that they can get elsewhere.” Ross acknowledges that change is coming slowly, but as it is being driven by customer demand, the change is inevitable. Those healthcare organisations that can adjust will prove to be the disruptive forces in the years ahead. Elsewhere in this wide-ranging podcast, Ross also discusses the advances in data capture technique, and the implication that has for better analytics and AI. He also talks through the privacy and ethical implications of data use in healthcare, and how data outcomes can be understood and measured within healthcare. Healthcare is one of the most fascinating sectors when it comes to data, analytics, and patient outcomes, and we're only scratching the surface of it. Tune in to this in-depth conversation with Ross to get a sense for what's coming next. Enjoy the show!

Key Highlights: [00:01 - 11:42] Do Not Fear Where Technology is Headed The Law of Accelerating Returns is the rate of change itself is accelerating. It is hard to make predictions of the future. Anyone who says they can has their own agenda Technology can be truly transformative when we understand the underlying premise of why things happen .[11:34 - 23:20] Investment Decisions Amidst Changing Times Your next move, whether in business or investment, is guided by your understanding of the fundamentals Strong leadership requires discernment and flexibility to shift the business toward the market demand You're either at the top or bottom. If you stay in the middle, you'll completely disappear [23:21 - 38:48] Technological Progress and Future Risks The digitalization of business is inevitable. Every business will have to With the market data being readily available, you need to differentiate yourself from your competitor by being better and better at what you do Education is now shifting from the traditional approach to an inquiry-based where knowing how to navigate the system and ask the right questions are much more essential The best thing we can leave our children is the curiosity There will always be jobs for people in the future even, when technology takes over. We simply need to redirect our resources to where there's an actual need. [38:49 - 41:15] Closing Segment Interested in how you could rewire yourself or your employees for future readiness?

And the one thing you don't want to beat out of them because, unfortunately, we do it and have a tendency to do it. It's curiosity... Kids ask, like, why, why, why, why. And then the unfortunate reality is we send them to school and beat it out of them, right? We say no, no, no, stop asking why here's the book, read it. And I think that's the worst thing we can do.” - Pascal Finette Connect with Pascal: Twitter: https://twitter.com/pfinette Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pfinette Website: https://finette.com/ Connect with me onhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-c-adams/ ( LinkedIn)!

Jenn Pryce (@JennPryce) is President and CEO of Calvert Impact Capital, a global investment firm investing in communities, people, and businesses that are overlooked by traditional finance in the United States and in over 100 other countries. Essentially, they're putting their money where banks won't.Jenn learned the power of community at the start of her career working in the Peace Corps in Africa teaching math in Gabon. She then worked as an equity research analyst for Neuberger Berman before making her way to the investment banking team at Morgan Stanley's London office and then went on to help raise financial support for The Public Theater in New York City. Facing several challenges in this endeavor, she stumbled upon a Community Development Financial Institution where she began to understand the importance of community investing. During a stint at the Nonprofit Finance Fund in Washington D.C., she learned about the value of driving financial support to community businesses after which she landed at Calvert Impact Capital where she later became the CEO. During Jenn's tenure at Calvert, she has expanded the sectors they work in and developed new products and services to ensure that impact investing is accessible from institutional to small retail investors. Since Calvert Impact Capital's founding, the company has worked with nearly 20,000 individuals, institutions, and advisors to raise nearly $3.5 billion. Jenn studied engineering at Union College and holds an MBA from Columbia University. She serves as a Forbes contributor, a lecturer at Oxford Saïd School of Business, a board member of UNICEF USA Impact Fund for Children, the Advisory Board Chair of Quantified Ventures, and as a member of the Advisory Board of Ecofin and Operating Principles for Impact Management.Show notes: https://sri360.com/podcast/jenn-pryce/SELECTED LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Connect with Jenn Pryce: Twitter | LinkedIN Calvert Impact CapitalCalvert Community Impact Investment NoteCommunity Development Financial InstitutionsIncapital/InspereXJonathan Rose FundsNeuberger BermanNon-Profit Finance Fund (NFF)Seychelles Blue BondSunFunderThe Public TheaterPEOPLE :Harold Newman, Financial AdvisorJohn G.

Episode 81 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is actress, author, writer, producer, and activist Mimi Kennedy.Born in Rochester, NY, Mimi first fell in love with acting as a child in community theater, which would lead her to ignite her acting career on stage opposite TV legend Sid Caesar in Neil Simon's LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS along with multi-Emmy Award winner Doris Roberts, who became a friend and mentor.Mimi was active in the NYC theatre scene in the 1970's, cast in plays like Jim Steinman's DAS RHEINGOLD and Andy Warhol's legendary PORK – a role she left due to reasons recounted in her 1996 mid-life memoir TAKEN TO THE STAGE: The Education of an Actress (soon to be released as an audiobook on Audible). Steinman would become a life-long friend and Warhol, at least in her case, would be proven wrong about his “15 minutes of fame” quote. In 1976 Mimi made her Broadway debut as one of the Pink Ladies: Jan, in the original Broadway run of the legendary musical GREASE. She was also a member of the original touring production of THE NATIONAL LAMPOON SHOW.In 1975 Mimi was invited to audition for the original cast (The Not Ready for Prime Time Players) of a brand-new late-night NBC TV sketch comedy-variety series SATURDAY NIGHT (later known as SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), but Lorne Michaels decided on casting Jane Curtin for that spot. Her stage career did not end when Hollywood and television came calling shortly after. She has performed the 1-woman play about newspaper advice columnist Ann Landers, THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS, at both the Pasadena and Cleveland Playhouses. In 2013 she wrote and starred in a 1-woman play about suffragist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage, MIMI KENNEDY FINDS MATILDA JOSLYN GAGE.For 8 seasons Mimi portrayed the much beloved character, Marjorie, on the hit Chuck Lorre CBS TV sitcom MOM. She garnered a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Guest Performer in a Comedy Series before becoming a series regular in Season 2. This was the second pairing of Mimi and Lorre; she played Abby O'Neil on the hit 90's ABC TV sitcom DHARMA & GREG for 5 seasons.Her television debut was on the 1977 NBC TV musical-variety mini-series 3 GIRLS 3, also starring dance legend Debbie Allen, and Ellen Foley. The New York Times declared it a hit, however it sadly only aired 4 episodes. You can view all 4 episodes on Mimi's YouTube channel. 3 GIRLS 3 was quite an introduction to Hollywood allowing her the opportunity to play opposite Bob Hope, Carl Reiner, Flip Wilson, and Steve Martin (in his prime-time TV debut.) Regular TV sitcom series roles followed throughout the 70's and 80's, most notably as Stockard Channing's sister on the CBS TV sitcom JUST FRIENDS, and co-starring with comedy legend Peter Cook in THE TWO OF US. The 1990's started with Mimi in a dramatic role portraying a slightly darker side of the affluent WASP-type she had portrayed on sitcoms previously. As Queen-B Ruth Sloan on HOMEFRONT, she netted another American Television Critics nomination, this time as Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. In the 2000's she recurred as CIA Director and House Minority Leader in HBO's THE BRINK and VEEP, respectively. Upcoming television guest roles in 2022 include Netflix's GRACE & FRANKIE, and the long-running ABC TV sitcom THE GOLDBERGS, as well as a new character on a popular drama series.Mimi's most notable roles on film include: Woody Allen's Oscar winning MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, IN THE LOOP, the Oscar winning ERIN BROCKOVICH, PUMP UP THE VOLUME, MAN IN THE CHAIR, THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT, SAVING PARADISE, the recent Tony Hale comedy EAT WHEATIES!, and the upcoming GOING PLACES.The experience of attending and graduating from Smith College during the Vietnam War era (with Julie Nixon as a classmate) exposed Mimi to new ideas and perspectives. The seeds of an activist and world citizen were born. Nonviolence is her core political principle, learned in weekly classes after 9/11 taught by Rev. James Lawson, whom Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called “the teacher” for his educating activists in nonviolent theory and practice at the start of the civil rights struggle in the 1960s. Mimi was the founding Advisory Board Chair of Progressive Democrats of America in 2004 and remains on its National Board in a leadership role on the Election Integrity Team. Her work in Election Integrity is nationally recognized, from Capitol Hill to LA County; where she served on the Advisory Panel for LA's new paper-ballot voting system. Her 1-woman play about 19th century suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage wove the spiritual and political activism of Gage with today's need for reproductive justice and conscious parenting. She was proud to stand with the MOM cast and producers in donating the show's 2017 Emmy budget to Planned Parenthood. Mimi and the PDA were instrumental in convincing Bernie Sanders to run in the 2016 Democratic Presidential primary; hosting Sanders' first LA fundraiser in her home. She has also worked with the Office of the Americas against the covert wars in Central America and Artists United to Win Without War.Mimi lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband of over 40 years, actor, educator, and musician Larry Dilg. They have two grown children, two grandchildren and an adorable dog. Also on Episode 81, Dfernando and Wendi are back and touch on things that occurred during their time off: Dfernando's 57th and Greg Covey's 52nd birthdays; Wendi's gift of a week's worth of Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding and pizza; Wendi's new article in NEW BEAUTY Magazine, which includes various photos from their first photo shoot together (one which includes Wendi wearing one of Bob Fosse's own bowler hats); and Wendi talks about her time in Vancouver where she filmed the new Disney Plus film PROM PACT. On THE RIPE REPORT, Dfernando talks about the new Netflix cake-baking competition show IS IT CAKE?, hosted by SNL's Mikey Day, and Wendi shares a new discovery: Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecake and shares a ROTTEN: celebrities licking faces on the red carpet at awards shows.

I am very honoured to have Pascal Finette back for a second round. Pascal and I got introduced when I first launched my podcast in early 2018, and we recorded an episode then, which has been downloaded almost 300 times. He since has launched more things, became more famous, and I feel honoured he took some time to answer more of my questions. We ended up with an amazing chat over Zoom, and we jump straight into the episode, not worrying about the intro. A great conversation which I truly enjoyed, and lots of takeaways for my listeners. My most vivid memory of the first podcast was that he said, ‘you have to focus on the brights sparks in life’, not the failures, and that he measures success by the lives he influences. His latest intro reads as him being the Co-Founder at be radical, EY’s wavespace Advisory Board Chair, Singularity U’s Chair for Entrepreneurship & Open Innovation, VC at BOLD Capital Partners. Previously he held leadership positions at Google.org, Mozilla, and eBay, built technology startups, launched a Venture Capital firm. He is the posse leader at TheHeretic.org, and is a general upstart when it comes to creating meaningful change.

Welcome.Peter Laurie: Hi.Corinne Butler: Peter you're from Junta. First question I ask everyone is, your business name, how did you come up with that?Peter Laurie: So at the time me and my co-founder, we were looking for words that started with J, for no really good reason. And we found one that we liked, which was Junta. And so the definition was, we were going through word of the day, and the definition is a small group of people seeking to gain power through revolution, which pretty much suited what our mood was at the time.Corinne Butler: So I suppose in business you'd probably see that a little bit, a small group of people who want to make big changes.Peter Laurie: Yeah, that's right. And there's no way to do that in traditional mechanisms so you do that through influence and working with people, as opposed to directing people. Which is where we were at. We are at, yeah.Corinne Butler: So Peter tell me a little bit more about yourself. So who are you and what is your background?Peter Laurie: So my background, I'm an electrical engineer by training, but never worked as one because this thing called the internet turned up. And I burnt my fingers a lot less on the internet. I mean I've been doing software development on and off since I was about 10, but dad put together a computer when I was five. So I'm right at the front of that generation that's always had technology or a computer to play with, so I don't know any different. So I went into electrical engineering after high school and then came out and worked in a few different, what we call startups now, but they were just new ventures back then. So one called Information Dynamics, where we did Ray Whites first website. And then through Y2K, in it's Energex, in their power system. We definitely did fix some things that would have gone explosion. And then went through a few other businesses. I mean I can keep going with the history if you'd like?Corinne Butler: Please, yep.Peter Laurie: So then I was involved in the business that went to crap. We sold it technically, for the technical people out there, we were doing test driven development and we had a model driven architecture at a continuous integration loop. In 2001, was when we were doing it, we solved that technically, it was very much under control and we delivered exactly what we said we were going to deliver. The problem is that the business still went to crap. So I had to work out why. So I went and did an MBA to understand that, and I found out fairly early on in that, that it was actually contract management was the problem. So, not technical. But then I found myself learning whatever I wanted to learn, during this MBA. So I came out of that with strategy, entrepreneurship and multiple economics, which fits my megalomania quite well.Peter Laurie: And I then got involved in starting my own business, after the first six months of that. Because there was a particular bit of insight that I got out of the strategy stuff, which we could talk through later if you wanted to, that unlocked my analysis paralysis. Then in 2011 Steve Baxter said to me "I'm starting a co-working space" so I said shut up and take my money. And then I went down there, took the business, because we didn't need 108 square meters as a two person business. So we went down to the coworking space in Brisbane called Inter City Labs. And then I found myself doing a lot of mentoring and coaching. So I'm the mentor in residence down there now and have been for the last nearly seven and a half years, which is a volunteer position. So I've seen probably several hundred businesses come through and spent a decent amount of time with a few hundred of them.Peter Laurie: And then further to that, I've been doing a lot of entrepreneur in residence roles over the last two years. So two at UQ, two at QUT in the Creative Enterprise and one at River City Labs itself. I do a bunch of mentoring, mainly around startups, and they get me in for the technology to start with and they realize that I actually know a fair bit more than just the technology and we end up working more around strategy and, from the outside it looked like strategic HR.Corinne Butler: So let's talk a little bit more about that mentor in residence. What is that?Peter Laurie: So basically I stick my nose into as many people's businesses that I can. That are in this space. Until they unify against me with pitchforks and torches and chase me out of the room. So they are unified when they do that though, which is an important thing to remember. But basically I jump in and I try and help people out to achieve what they're trying to achieve. And I want them to not fall over in the kiddy pool, to actually get out there and start swimming. So I try and get them to understand the context of what they're doing and how they can go about it and the fact that nobody knows what they should be doing and they need to work it out for themselves.Corinne Butler: So that's huge. Helping people work it out for themselves. How do you do that?Peter Laurie: We do it quite well, thank you.Corinne Butler: How can others do that then?Peter Laurie: So I spent a lot of time teaching people that they need to make their own decisions, rightly or wrongly. So the first thing that I talk about is that nobody knows what they should be doing. Anybody who tells you that they know exactly what you should be doing is lying to themselves, or lying to you. Generally, the first one, there's not many straight up sociopaths out there. The real trick, especially for small businesses and startup, isn't working out where you should be. It's about working out how you get from where you are to where you should be. And the thing to remember is that you're the world expert in where you are and where you should be is part of the problem but the path to get from where you are to where you should be is actually where the art is.Peter Laurie: And then on top of that you've got to be able to stay alive while you're doing that. So it's actually a fairly difficult problem. And the only thing that makes that even harder is the fact that where you should be moves as well. So a lot of people are out there looking for the perfect solution and they think that they can do it once and then they're done. But the fact of the matter is that everything moves and the only thing you can rationally invest in is, is working out which way to go. Doing a little bit of it and then looking where you should go now. So it's really a lot of mindset stuff.Corinne Butler: So is there a difference, do you think, between being a mentor in residence and an entrepreneur in residence? And if so, what is it?Peter Laurie: I mean the reason that it is the mentor in residence and not the entrepreneur in residence is because at the time I didn't feel like I was very much an entrepreneur. And that's a lot more to do with how I felt about what I was doing, than the role itself. And I constructed the role as a title because I needed to differentiate myself from the mentors that were in for one day a year, when I was in there basically 90% of the days for a year doing a very different role, so I needed to differentiate it. The actual entrepreneur in residence role is a little bit more structured in that there's a program that you're normally working towards, be it a three month or a six month program. Whereas the mentor is much more, for the work that I do, much more focused around the way the team is going in the longterm as opposed to hitting the shorter term goals.Corinne Butler: So one of your other roles was a mission lead? What's that?Peter Laurie: First up, not religious. It's not a religious thing. There's an organization called Startup Catalyst, which I've been the youth mission lead for the last four times it's been run. I'm not running it this year. This year is supposed to be about me doing some of my stuff rather than continuing to do other people's stuff. So the youth mission takes 20 18-29 year olds across to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, from across Australia, and blows their mind. The intent behind it is to actually get people to understand that even though the people in San Francisco are held up as something special, that the sky is blue over there, people are the same, and computers and laptops and technology works exactly the same. So the only real difference over there is the perspective that people have and the momentum that they've got.Peter Laurie: We do two main things when we take them over. Well it doesn't really matter. what else we do, we go and do a bit of startups tours. And so we see Google, Twitter, all those sorts of places. But the two main things that we do is we see a good friend of ours, Joel Pobar, who's at Facebook, who grew up in Beenleigh, which is just down the road from Brisbane. And he takes us through what it's like to be a senior manager inside Facebook. It's seriously one of the best experiences that I've been through, and I've done it four times.Peter Laurie: And the other thing we do is we drop the 20 people, and we call them the youths, and we drop the 20 youths into a startup weekend, in the middle of San Francisco. And they have a fairly large imposter syndrome when they start that day. And remember that these people are actually the best we can find out of Australia. So they've got PhDs, or just about to finish PhDs. Bit of machine learning or maths or computing or something like that. And also we have designers and all sorts of people, they're the best we can find, from about 250 to 300 applicants last time. And they still have this massive imposter syndrome, so we drop them into this thing and they dominate that 54 hour business competition.Peter Laurie: Even though they frame themselves as tech, they dominate it because they're smart. And a bit of coaching for us, we tell them what the context is, but they dominate it. But of course they dominate it because we cherry pick from across Australia. And it doesn't really matter. On the last couple of trips I've experimented with telling them that this is what's going to happen to them and they still don't believe it. And then afterwards they are totally transformed, their templates [inaudible 00:12:44] and they come back here, to Australia, wherever they're from, their various regions. And then they have the impact on the ecosystem where they're operating, which is exactly what we're trying to do.Corinne Butler: Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing. So imposter syndrome, we hear that quite a lot lately. What is it?Peter Laurie: So the way I describe imposter syndrome is that it's that feeling that you get when you're sitting in a room that you feel like you shouldn't be there. And at any moment someone's going to walk in and tell you, actually Mr. Laurie, we need to take you out, you shouldn't be here. And everybody has it. There's people that I've spoken to that are currently looking after $100 million funds for investment that don't think that they should be doing that. And the next year that they're going to get $400 million to look after. That's international. A lot of people that I speak to here in the ecosystem locally, or even across Australia, actually have a fair bit of imposter syndrome. And the nice thing is that it's a human trait. When you don't have the ability to get yourself to feeling an impostor syndrome, it's actually when you're a bit of a sociopath. So the example I normally use is Trump, right? So Trump never feels imposter syndrome because he doesn't appear to have that self awareness. So confidence just keeps going up. So I see it as a very normal, very human thing and it never goes away. You just learn to deal with it and acknowledge that it's there.Corinne Butler: That's a great definition. So you touched on a day in the life of a Facebook manager. What's that like?Peter Laurie: Well, that's really Joel's story to tell. But I will tell you that the majority of what he's doing is actually people. In the context of technology. And we actually got him out her last year to do a presentation around how he manages the people that he's working with. The last time I spoke to him he had a span of control of about 12, which is ridiculous. They shouldn't be letting him do that. But he was getting it done and he's a very methodical guy. He came back and talked about how he actually gets people and takes them through and teaches them how to lead. Which is excellent. But again, that's really his story to tell. But from a personal point of view, he's no different than anybody that you'd run into in Brisbane. He's got some more experience, he's got some harder problems that he's taken on. But the lovely thing about it is that I run into people who could be as effective and have as big an impact as Joel is having, every day here.Corinne Butler: Wow. That's such an amazing space to be in. So tell me, what else is happening in your industry?Peter Laurie: Well, there's a lot of different things happening in general. Not the amount of investment that's happening in this sort of, I see my industry, it will be the startup or innovation industry or something like that. The first thing I want to do is I want to qualify this with, I'm a little bit inside a bubble, so I'll talk about it in terms of the way that I think about it. I won't try and translate it outside the bubble, because I don't know if I can properly do that. I will do the stuff that I can. So the first up thing is there's a lot more money turning up into the ecosystem at the moment, be it through the super funds look like they're investing locally, or investing through venture capital firms locally instead of overseas, which is a good sign.Peter Laurie: The local angel networks are starting to get better. They're still not great but it's happening. The state government in Queensland is throwing a lot of money, or investing a lot of money, throwing it makes it sound like it's flippant, but it's not. Deliberately investing a lot of money into the region, to everybody's surprise. A lot of that is stuck. So there's been a lot of things that have been very positive, independent of what you read in the papers. A lot of things that are very positive and, not everything's perfect, but as an ecosystem where you used to that, not being perfect. The worst case isn't so much missing out on what's perfect, but what we do not being perfect, is missing out on the opportunity to be perfect, you've got to take your shot. From a technology point of view, the factors of production, so the ability for us to create something is getting easier and easier.Peter Laurie: So it moves from being a technical problem to being more of a creative problem or an artistic problem. So [inaudible 00:17:22] is a good way to speak about it, is that the biggest problem isn't whether we can build stuff now, it's whether we're actually building the right thing. And I spent a lot of time locally talking about ways to actually build the right thing and discover what it is because, like I was saying before, nobody knows what the right thing is. Up here in Brisbane, in Queensland in general, our universities are producing people that are world class. And then there's no denying that. And that seems to be an infinite resource of people coming out of there. The sad thing about it is that not a lot of people end up in this space where it's fully utilizing the skills that they have when they come out. But that's exactly what Startup Catalyst and the startup ecosystem is trying to open up.Peter Laurie: What else is going on? We're in a bit of a transition now. The startup ecosystem has been going long enough that the people that are purely driven by asset are starting to say that they've had enough and we're looking for the next generation of people to start to come through and make sure it's sustainable. And that's drawing a lot of my attention at the moment. That's what's top of my [inaudible 00:18:39]. Is that what you're after?Corinne Butler: That's great, thank you. So the podcast is called Advisor Adventures. And you've just mentioned that this year is really about you doing your stuff. So what adventures are you up to?Peter Laurie: The way that I operate is interesting. And, as someone who does a lot of thinking about it, I can categorize it quite well. I mean, it presents as something that's lacking a lot of focus. So I'm doing lots and lots of different things. I've had HR people talk to me about it being a portfolio career. So I'm doing lots of different things. And the biggest fear for me isn't so much doing the work, it's only doing that work. So for example, whenever I do dip my toe back into corporate work, I go for five weeks and then all of a sudden it's 18 months. So that's the sort of work that I end up doing. To me at the moment there's some interesting stuff around very early stage investment that I'm starting to think about and may well be able to open up through the crowdsource funding. So filling a gap sort of before Angels, or helping that sort of a phase go quickly, which is really more formalizing some of the investment that I'm doing at the very early stage now.Peter Laurie: Also, as a software developer, I can sit down and have a good idea and build something out, which I find entertaining and fun. I think a lot of other people would consider it work. So I'd probably say I've got about 10 or 15 balls in the air at the moment, which sounds crazy, except to run with the analogy that what I'm focusing on is the ability to juggle. So the balls aren't the things that I'm focusing on. They're opportunities, they're important, I'll push each of them as hard as I can. But the longterm capability that I'm building, the long term skills that I'm building, what I'm constantly trading on, which I'm laser focused on is the ability to juggle. Which has its own set of issues. So at the moment I'm learning to, not so much deal with the fear of missing out or FOMO, it's to embrace what a friend of mine calls the JOMO, which is the joy of missing out, which is a hard transition.Corinne Butler: I think you've got a very valid point there because we do focus a lot on FOMO and I think JOMO is potentially something to even research.Peter Laurie: Yeah, well it's not their term and it's not my term. It's definitely a term that's out there. So by all means have a look.Corinne Butler: So your own personal BHAG so big hairy audacious goal. What's the five-year dream, or 10 year dream?Peter Laurie: I'm a little bit different to a lot of people in that I don't really have a tight five-year or 10 year dream that I'm converging on. Which is described before as the juggling. So my goal isn't to reduce the juggling set down to one ball, it's actually to put more balls in the air. So for me, the goal that loosely describes what I'm doing is to try and get our ecosystem to work properly. One of the attributes when I first started in it, probably closer to 10 years ago, but it's hard. But formally, when the River City Labs opened up, in 2012, is that the ecosystem wasn't flowing. It was just sort of stuttering along. And made a conscious decision to work on that and in that, to make that work. So my five year goal is to have a vibrant, well executing, innovation ecosystem here in Southeast Queensland.Peter Laurie: One of the attributes, because I've got the skills that I have I can go and work wherever I want, and I'd much prefer it to be here than elsewhere. Mainly because I'm here. I don't see a lot of value in heading off elsewhere because it's better there. I mean that's how we never get it here. So I'm trying to get up work here. So I suppose, long story short, five year, 10 year goal is to have a vibrant and virtuous innovation ecosystem here in Brisbane. And as a result of that, across the rest of the state, and then hopefully across the rest of the country as well.Corinne Butler: Sounds great. Now you work with a lot of different businesses and business owners. What would be your top three tips for them?Peter Laurie: Okay, so the first one, like I said before, is that nobody knows what you should be doing. I open with that every time now. Because some people kind of give you a puzzled look and then eventually it turns into this empowering situation. And one of the ways I talked about before is that a lot of people will tell you where you should be, but not a lot of people understand where you're at. And the art's in getting from where you are to where you should be. And then off the back of that, sort of in the same sort of vein, is that to be able to interact with people around that, you need to learn to critically analyze what you're hearing. When you're new to something, you don't have the capability to measure how good someone is, but you can measure how confident they are.Peter Laurie: So you have to learn to listen to everybody and then critically analyze what they're saying to you and then make a decision yourself about what you should be doing, as opposed to blindly following someone. And the main reason behind that is that if you make a decision and it goes wrong, then you learn that you need to make better decisions. If you blindly follow someone and it turns out that they're wrong, your analysis is I need to start and find another person who might know what's going on. So it's really about opening that learning loop, about getting through and doing that.Peter Laurie: So the next one is, I see this one a lot, is that when you're building a business, you're not building products and services. You're building a business that builds products and services. And it's very important to separate yourself out from that. I mean, the goal as a business owner is to become redundant as soon as you can. However people still seem to bring this sort of empire building focus there. You're trying to build something that's sustainable that doesn't require you to be there. You're not trying to construct yourself a job, you're trying to construct yourself a business.Peter Laurie: And even a lot of people that are feeling that through sort of sit back and think about that when I throw that at them. That's a surprising one. I'm just looking down at my notes to see if there was another one that I had. That's probably enough. Actually, the third one is that given that nobody knows what you should be doing, you should be building a business that builds products and services. You're on a constant learning thing. So you need to learn how you learn new things and you need to consciously make that competency stronger. Because that's the only thing that you can rationally invest in given how everything changes so quickly.Corinne Butler: And it's interesting you say that and what you've mentioned there because I agree with you. I see a lot of the time is people don't do themselves out of jobs and they don't invest in themselves. So I think that's great advice. So Peter, what else would you like our audience to know? Any other adventures that you'd like to share?Peter Laurie: Well look, probably the first thing I'd do is, one of my problems that I've got with the innovation ecosystem is that everybody thinks that it's executed by people who are 19 years old and skate to work. When that's not the situation at all. I mean it is who I spend a lot of time working with because that's the only people that turn up. In fact, there's a lot of data suggesting that the most successful entrepreneurs are 45 plus. And the ones that are 18 and do this thing are absolute anomalies and highly unlikely to be successful. And I find a lot of people ruling out this is an option because they think they're not the right person to do it. So I treat this as an invitation to go down and get involved with your innovation ecosystem.Peter Laurie: So there'll be called startup spaces or coworking spaces. There'll be things like startup weekends and events and meet up groups. And get down there with your eyes open and critically analyzing everything, but get involved. You'll find that you are actually sitting on a whole bunch more skills than you think. And if I could make you do one thing, it'd be try and go out and do a startup weekend. It's by no means a comfortable experience, but it's an incredibly solid way to learn what you need to know to be able to execute in this newer, faster moving environment.Corinne Butler: I think that's great advice. I think we should all go and do a startup weekend.Peter Laurie: Yeah.Corinne Butler: So Peter Laurie from Junta. Thank you so much for joining us today on Advisor Adventures.Peter Laurie: You're welcome. Thank you very much for having me.

Scott’s experience as an executive spans many well-known companies including P&G, Bristol-Myers Squibb, The Clorox Company and Fosters.
