Ted Lasso veteran and star of the new series of 'Surface', Phil Dunster, joins Ali for a chat about all sorts of happy nonsense this week. Including Reading's best bits (the place, not the thing you do with words). There's also chat about YouTube rabbit holes and the times people have accidentally called Phil “Jamie Tartt” and not, you know, his actual name. There's also some genuinely grown-up conversation about his career in there too. Anyroad, he's perfectly charming, as you'll find out by listening to this episode!
Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! Please note: This is an updated “Holiday Selection” re-release of Episode #193. “If the pace of change is ever faster, ever faster, ever faster, and we already feel like we don't have enough time to keep up or we are overwhelmed or we're not able to show up fully, then we need a big reset because the future does not play out well if we continue to buy into not just what society says, but also what this pace of change is doing.” – April Rinne With the amount of change happening daily in workplaces around the globe, adopting the right mindset can be key for employees, managers and leaders alike. Today's deeply inspiring Finding Brave guest breaks down the concept of having a “Flux Mindset,” which helps individuals and organizations consistently view change as an opportunity, not a threat, by being clear and grounded in their values. Ranked one of the world's “50 Leading Female Futurists” by Forbes, April Rinne is a change navigator: she helps individuals and organizations rethink and reshape their relationship with change, uncertainty, and a world in flux. A World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, she is a trusted advisor to organizations ranging from Airbnb, Nike, Intuit, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, NESTA, Trōv, AnyRoad, and Unsettled, as well as governments spanning Singapore to South Africa, Canada to Colombia, Italy to India. April is the author of the inspiring book Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change. A graduate of Harvard Law School, April is a futurist, advisor, global development executive, microfinance lawyer, investor, mental health advocate, certified yoga teacher, globetrotter (100+ countries), and insatiable handstander. She also harnesses very personal experiences with flux, including the death of both of her parents in a car accident when she was 20. Through her travels and tragedy, vision and values, global perspective and grounded sense of purpose, April helps others better understand how we see, think about, struggle with, and ultimately forge positive relationships with change. In this enlightening episode, April shows the tremendous benefits you can realize by rethinking and reshaping your relationship with change and uncertainty. Once you understand what change is and learn how to embrace it, opportunities will begin to appear and allow you to be more prepared for the future, whatever comes your way. Highlights from this Episode: April's definition of “Flux” and the role that incorporating a Flux Mindset plays in helping people adapt to an ever-changing world [7:10] Her personal life journey to Flux, plus some of the key questions that she asks herself to maintain perspective [12:47] How April is contributing by serving the world what it needs right now [15:31] What you can do to begin seeing the “invisible,” and the reasons why individuals tend to miss seeing so much around them that would be extremely beneficial to see [28:37] Her tips for bringing the unconscious to the conscious and why we need to [32:01] Ways to address and resolve your fears and detach from future outcomes at the same time [35:07] What managers and leaders need to do differently in a world of Flux [40:30] Where so many professionals are going wrong when it comes to mindset [42:23] Why April considers herself a futurist, and what it really means to be one [44:35] For More Information: April's Latest Book, Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change https://aprilrinne.com/ https://twitter.com/aprilrinne https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilrinne https://www.instagram.com/aprilrinne/ https://www.facebook.com/aprilrinne Kathy's Resources Mentioned: KATHY'S DIGITAL CAREER COACHING CLONE - ‘KATHY CAPRINO AI” - IS HERE!

In this righteous and noble episode of 65, our heroes spent weeks preparing for a very special VIP guest who, on the day, told them that he's not gonna come on the shitty little podcast. And who can blame him? Some people would rather spend their time elsewhere. But this guest said he had dinner. Now, if you go back dozens of episodes, when John Spillane was the guest, he had dinner on the show. I'm not saying he's a genius, but he's hitting two birds with stone - and looking good whilst doing it. Anyroad, our heroes prepared some quick fire questions for this guest who shall remain nameless (clue - it wasn't Danny de Vito), so dear Kyle, like a champion and hero very quickly decided to jump in and answer these questions from his own perspective. Listen, we wish every episode was this amazing, but we're not exactly professionals, so it won't be. Thanks a lot not Danny de Vito.

So often in the midst of change or the unknown where our mind goes first is what are we going to do? But what if the key to being able to navigate change and uncertainty was less about doing, but rather a way of being?

Brands don't often know everyone who is attending their big events, which leads to limited return on investment and actionable insights. AnyRoad provides that insight.
CX Leader Podcast with Steve Walker | A resource for customer experience leaders
Live events can also be great way to gather insights into your customers while providing an exceptional experience. More companies are designing events to provide almost over-the-top experiences to help engage with their customers. So how do you design a great event AND gather the insights you need to improve your customer experience? Host Steve Walker welcomes Johnathan Yaffe from AnyRoad to discuss how some companies have become an experiential brand.
F2000 brands are investing hundreds of millions (or billions) of dollars a year on experiences in order to build brand love, and Jonathan Yaffe, Co-founder & CEO of AnyRoad, is on a mission to solve this problem. Having gotten his first job out of college 22 years ago with Red Bull's marketing department, he was awed by the fact that Red Bull was investing over a billion dollars a year on experiences. The problem was that there was no data to determine if, or how well, this was changing brand perception and consumption habits of their customers. Jonathan Co-founded AnyRoad with his brother Daniel in 2013. Daniel was the founder/publisher of the premier lifestyle magazine about alcohol culture. In addition, he wrote a book called Drink More Whiskey, and the research for this book took him all over the world to sample different whiskeys and visit amazing distilleries. This research provided him with experiences and brand loyalty he will never forget. Given the impact of these experiences, it seemed the logical next choice for Johathan and Daniel to move into this business full time and solve the data problem. They discovered that companies investing in experiential marketing were winning the race for loyal customers and those who didn't invest in experiences were left on the sidelines. Brands are spending inordinate sums of money on experiences and have no data to determine if what they're doing is working. Jonathan talks to Carol about pivoting from calling on small businesses to the F2000 and what wasn't working with small businesses. The pivot came four years after their founding in 2013 when they were close to shutting down the business. It was brought to their attention that enterprises desperately needed the data that AnyRoad supplied and the pivot has been extremely successful. It's also important to note that pivoting is not uncommon with first-time tech founders, but what's important is their commitment to the company. With rapid revenue growth, AnyRoad is increasing its headcount and has to determine the best way to do that as the company doubles in size without ruining its culture. This is the age-old challenge with high-growth companies.

“I've been completely obsessed with this—not only how do we prove the ROI of these specific experiential programs but how do we do it at scale.” Jonathan Yaffe was one of the first marketing hires at Red Bull following the brand's entry into the U.S. market. His first task? Quantifying their experiential marketing efforts. Today he does this for numerous brands through his company AnyRoad. We discussed all of this and more on this week's episode of the On Brand podcast. About Jonathan Yaffe Jonathan Yaffe is the CEO and Co-Founder of AnyRoad (hailed one of Marc Benioff's best investments), a data and analytics platform that powers the data behind many of the Fortune 2000's offline experiences, including Absolut, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Michaels Arts & Crafts, Honda, Diageo, Peet's Coffee & Tea, and the Golden State Warriors. Jonathan began his career in experiential marketing at Red Bull, and holds a degree in Cognitive Science from the University of California Berkeley. Episode Highlights “Experiential marketing is all about the brand—about causing emotions in customers,” Jonathan shared, adding: “And nothing is able to create these emotions at the level that experiences are.” Measuring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. While I haven't traveled as much of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail as I'd like to (yet!), I do have a passport. As this brand experience is an AnyRoad client, Jonathan shared how and why measuring this experience is critical. “You visit a distillery and all of a sudden it becomes their favorite brand based on that experience.” “The world of experiential marketing has been data-less,” explains Jonathan noting that many brands like cola companies are still doing taste tests and counting smiles! Jonathan's company AnyRoad—an Experience Relationship Management or ERM company—certainly sounds like a better road. “We measure anything that changes behavior.” Speaking of smiles … What brand has made Jonathan smile recently? “I smile all the time,” Jonathan began. However, he found himself smiling ear to ear recently due to Lego's exceptional work developing new products and experiences around their adult customers or AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego). He also shared that Red Bull called their core customers PINOEs (People In Need of Energy). Naming your core customers can help you get even more specific with your branding efforts.
