When you started your agency, it was probably pretty exciting and somehow any worries you had were squelched before they could get in the way. But as our agencies get a little more established and we get a little more comfortable, taking a risk seems scarier, doesn’t it? My guest thinks that’s a problem and he recommends that we re-acquainted with being uncomfortable. In some ways, I’d like to think my big risk-taking days are behind me. But when I go to manage my business, and in nearly every conversation I have with my AMI colleagues, I know being risk-averse is not a strategy any of us can afford. Staying relevant and successful—according to my guest—requires a level of comfort with being uncomfortable. It is a bit of bromide that the rapid pace of change is the one constant we can count on these days. How do we manage that change and thrive in the midst of it? That’s what we’re getting at in this episode. On episode #167, my guest Scott Amyx proves that he knows this topic. From a childhood of poverty in South Korea to a career at the tip of the spear in terms of understanding and embracing innovation, Scott has lived and thrived in this era of discomfort. The upshot of his research is clear: being prepared for change and meeting disruption with a strategy of embracing it and pivoting as needed is a critical skill to survival as a business owner today. Scott Amyx is the Chair & Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures and Singularity University/Smart City Accelerator Mentor and Startup Board Member. He is a TEDx speaker on disruption and success. Scott is a thought leader, speaker, author, and winner of the Cloud & DevOps World Award for Most Innovative Vendor. Scott’s book, Strive, is all about how doing the most uncomfortable things leads to success. What You Will Learn About in This Episode: How to get comfortable with being uncomfortable What you need to know about decentralized, autonomous organizations The market imperative of lifelong learning Why selling expertise and strategy is where differentiation happens How individual discomfort gets collectivized and creates tipping points for innovation Why as individuals and organizations, we need to be disrupted in order to be our optimal selves How process automation is disrupting the work of agencies as much as any other business sector Why the way we tell stories in our business needs to evolve with the tech and platforms people use to engage with stories Why the move toward a more agile, freelance workforce in your agency is likely not a short-term trend Ways to contact Scott Amyx: Order Strive: https://amzn.to/2yqtMGh TEDx Talk: https://youtu.be/FXoqlqpWpao Website: https://scottamyx.com/
Social media has transformed the way users behave online and offline. It has prevailed over the last decade and billions of people around the world engage with each other on these platforms on a daily, if not hourly basis. Whilst social media encourages individuality, the sharing of ideas and opinions online has created stereotypes and unrealistic benchmarks that people must attain to be accepted. Consequently, this has resulted in a multitude of mental health issues amongst individuals who believe they don’t fit the bill. In the final episode in this three-part series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Scott Amyx, Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures about healthy social media and technology use for kids, and whether they understand the ethical nature of sharing content online.

‘Artificial Intelligence’ has materialised much faster than leading researchers and security professionals in the field expected and the future of it remains unknown. Thus far, consumers have engaged with virtual assistants, namely Amazon’s ‘Alexa’ or Apple’s ‘Siri’. Additionally, it is proposed that businesses can reap the benefits of increased efficiency through automating the value chain but also taking the combined approach of ‘man and machine’. Globally, a negative perception of superintelligence has been fostered, however, attention must be given to the emerging possibilities as the economic landscape evolves. In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Scott Amyx, Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures and author of the book ‘The Human Currency’. They discuss Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it holds for the future of the global economy, focusing on the role that humans will play following the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’.

95: How Doing The Things Most Uncomfortable Leads to Success with author, Scott Amyx Scott Amyx is the Chair & Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures and Singularity University/ Smart City Accelerator Mentor and Startup Board Member. Drawing on his own powerful story of an impoverished immigrant frequently told that he would mount to nothing, Amyx, now a celebrated venture capitalist and futurist, describes his meteoric rise from obscurity to prominence, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not intellect, opportunities or even network but pursuing personal change that’s uncomfortable. In this book, Scott takes readers into his defining life moments and stories from some of the most unlikely individuals who persevered through change to become outrageously successful. He also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in high performance. Finally, he shares what he’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from corporate CEOs, unicorn startup entrepreneurs to global policy leaders. Strive shows how you can shape your life and your career, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of delightful surprise. Scott’s feature book Strive is available for order. Find out how doing the things most uncomfortable leads to success. Pioneering thought leader Scott Amyx shows anyone striving to succeed, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are, that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but doing the things uncomfortable he calls “strive”.

The ‘Internet of Things’ is a name given to exponential technologies encompassing our physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and increasingly normal everyday objects such as water bottles, that can store and exchange data. For consumers, they are often fearful of these advances and question how secure their personal data is. To overcome this issue, consumers must self-educate about personal security, moving away from a naive perspective and become mature, responsible agents when operating these data-storing devices. In this podcast Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Scott Amyx, Managing Partner at Amyx Ventures (a Venture Capital firm) and author of the forthcoming book ‘The Human Race’. They discuss the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) and what the future holds - not just for businesses but also consumers.
