"America is rigidly divided between red and blue." That's what we're constantly being told by pundits, politicians and media outlets, both left and right.But what if that wasn't quite true?On a surprisingly large number of issues, Americans agree on the broad outlines of public policy. Author, conflict mediator, and social entrepreneur, Bill Shireman makes the case that the middle 70% of the public should have a much greater say in who gets elected to make laws and decide policy."All it takes is a small number of folks who are aware of how we're being gamed to build a bridge between the political left and right, Bill says. "We need a relatively small percentage of voters who will not divide the way we are triggered to divide," Bill argues that the media and political industry make money and gain power by dividing Americans and making us mad at the other side."The middle 70%" does not necessarily mean moderates. Bill calls them "the silenced majority of us who are common-sense, reality-based voters who can work out our differences." Some are conservatives or progressives, while others have a mix of opinions on social and economic issues. The House of Representatives vote for the debt ceiling bill is an example of what Bill is talking about. Despite furious denunciations by legislators on the progressive left and Freedom Caucus right, the compromise bill passed by an overwhelming margin. President Biden and House Republican leaders quietly worked together. More about Bill Shireman: Host of the podcast series "A Moment of BS Bill Shireman Disrupts the Dividers". President of Future 500, where he invites Greenpeace, ExxonMobil, Rainforest Action Network, Mitsubishi and other corporate and environmental leaders to work together.Bill co-chairs the Donor Roundtable and its citizen recruitment initiative, In This Together.He's the author of seven books. The most recent is "In This Together: How Republicans, Democrats, Capitalists and Activists are Uniting to Tackle Climate Change and More.Bill teaches leadership and negotiations at the Berkeley Haas School of Business, University of California Berkeley.Recommendation: Richard listened to and was moved by the documentary podcast series "The Witch Trials of JK Rowling", hosted by Megan Phelps-Roper.

Everyone loves a good story, but more than that, we as humans are programmed on a genetic level to share and learn all kinds of information through stories. When you tap into the power of that response you can use it to engage people on all levels, from customers to audiences to investors, and achieve a connection with them on a fundamental level.David Riemer is a lecturer at the University of California's Haas School of Business and adviser at Berkeley's Skydeck Accelerator, where He has been called the “startup whisperer” He has recently put his insight into a book, Get Your Startup Story Straight: The Definitive Storytelling Framework for Innovators and Entrepreneurs, which is all about how founders can use the power of stories to enhance their chances in business.David and Greg discuss how this response to story evolved, how to form your core product story, some examples where storytelling was the x-factor to success for different startups and founders, and other examples of storytelling in other industries like advertising and blockbuster movies tying together an audience through the shared understanding that makes us human. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Every story is different13:48: Every time you tell the story, it's going to be a little bit different. For the simple reason that there's a different player in the storytelling, and that's your audience. When the audience is different, people respond differently to different things, and it can lead you to different paths and down different channels. So it's always a bit of a dialogue.Best leaders are good storytellers41:26: One thing that separates a leader in their career is that the best leaders are good storytellers. And these folks want to grow in organizations, continue moving up the ladder, and have bigger jobs. And storytelling can be a great differentiator for them in their careers.The importance of human experience in storytelling34:10: If we're looking for ways for people to empathize and have something resonate with someone who may not understand the experience or the category, I always encourage people to look for that human experience. That helps explain the struggle of the customer so that, when you describe the solution, anybody can relate to what you're talking about.You can be authentic and a good performer16:53: Sometimes people think if someone is showing energy and their voice is showing vocal variety, they're using their arms, and maybe they're walking around and looking and making eye contact that they're not being authentic. They're being human. You can be authentic and be a good performer. One doesn't replace the other. And I always advise people that true stories are better than made-up stories.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Steve Blank - Get out of the BuildingSurbhi Sarna on LinkedInPixar's 22 Rules of StorytellingGoogle ‘CODA' advertisementApple Watch ‘Dear Apple' advertisementKomal Ahmad on Solving Food WasteGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Berkeley Haas School of BusinessContributor's Profile on ForbesDavid Riemer's WebsiteDavid Riemer on LinkedInDavid Riemer on TwitterHis Work:Articles on MediumGet Your Startup Story Straight: The Definitive Storytelling Framework for Innovators and Entrepreneurs

Mark holds a BS in Managerial Economics from the University of California at Davis, an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley Haas School of Business and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). An Introduction of our guest Mark Kress. Opportunities that can be found in hedge funds.The first screen is whether they are going to add value to my overall risk adjusted returns How to determine what hedge funds to add to your portfolio.Why volatility is not a secondary concern. Being a small cap manager of hedge funds, and keeping it small, and investing in things that have capacity constrained.The second most important thing is if it is replicable.You should look for the odd savant type managers, because that is the way you can deliver exceptional returns on an ongoing basis.

When markets are dynamic, it's important that firms become dynamic too. Listening and understanding what's going on in the environment, outlining what the opportunities are, what the threats are is extremely important. Host Greg LaBlanc and Organizational Economist, David Teece unpack his Dynamic Capabilities Framework.In this episode, David and Greg tackle the importance of making sense of the organization's learning, formulating a view of what this means for your investment behavior, quickly deciding and investing behind those opportunities, or protecting against those threats. When the economic and entrepreneurial activities revolve around innovation and market power, these things will help firms pivot quickly.Tune in to the end as they talk about the Schumpeterian model and what Neo-Brandesian can learn from an innovative and entrepreneurial-centric economy. Make sure you're all ears to understand the basic assumptions of the dynamic capabilities framework. Pick up ideas on how your organization's core competencies can be used to modify short-term competitive positions, later on using them to build a longer-term competitive advantage.Episode Quotes:What are Dynamic Capabilities?“I've found it useful to begin describing dynamic capabilities by telling you what it's not. First of all, it's a capability but there are ordinary capabilities, which we all know: we can walk, we can talk, and organizations can do certain things. Those very important capabilities. If there are other kinds that result in you getting everyday work done, it's ordinary capabilities. When it's about change and when it's about actually figuring out what the next big thing is and effectuating change, that's a capability that I call dynamic.”On R&D and Capturing Value Within Firms:“If you're really an innovative firm there's enormous spillovers that are being produced and the capturing value approach which I've developed is about how do you capture the biggest share of the spillovers. Because that way, you get the rewards higher and you can continue to invest more in research and development and in discovery. And this is another area where I think economics has not paid sufficient attention. There's a sort of assumption that if you invent something everything's patentable and protectable when it's not.”Why is doing the best form of learning?“I do think that in a world of deep uncertainty, you're never going to know the answer through market research. You never gonna know the answer with certainty at any point in time. So you've got to start and that's the whole lean startup idea. In doubt, do. Why? Because you'll learn and then you can adjust and pivot.”Show Links:David Teece Official Dynamic Capabilities WebsiteDavid Teece on LinkedInDavid Teece Profile on U.C.

She has spent her career in human capital and leadership development, with more than 12 years of experience in nonprofits and higher education, selecting and developing future leaders. First, Stephanie shares the impact of COVID, professionally and personally.

She also talks about her time as the Assistant Dean and Executive Director of Admissions for the MBA program, the Haas culture and why it's essential to embody all four defining principles, and why investing in culture is vital in any organization. Steph then shares where her passion for people and their stories came from, her dream of becoming an actor, and acting in theatres in her college days. Finally, she offers some words of wisdom and encouragement to the Haas community. Episode Quotes: --------------- *Lessons learned during the past year* - "I'm still learning a lot, but this one, in particular, is the beauty of surrender. I think it's given us a time and a space to reflect on what's most important and how we want to show up in the world, and how we want to show up for each other. And for me to do that in a way that feels aligned with mind, body, spirit has meant I've had to let go of a lot of things. It was just about that surrender. So, I think I've learned that I have the ability to do that, that there's a beauty in it." *On walking away from her previous life* - "The way that I described it at the time was leap of faith. It was opening up and trusting in the universe. And I think what this past year has taught me is it's absolutely a leap of faith, but a leap of faith in myself and trusting in myself. And man, that is something that I would love to bring to as many people as possible because I feel like it has changed everything for me. Liberation is coming through so clearly for me." "The core of the work that I do now is that I think there is a need for us to see each other and be seen. That was such a kind of a guiding light for that work. And it was possible because of the strong culture at Haas. Culture matters because culture is a reflection of how we see the world, right? It's how we see the world around us. It's how we see our place in the world. And it provides these guidelines for how we behave and how we treat each other."

The following is a conversation between Don Moore, Author of Perfectly Confident: How to Calibrate Your Decisions Wisely, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

“Branding people have not formally gotten into the strategy world.” And vice versa. And that’s a problem according to branding and marketing legend David Aaker, author of several books including his latest Owning Game-Changing Subcategories. It’s a book that's coming out at a game-changing and turbulent time in the world of business and beyond. We discussed all of this and more, this week on the On Brand podcast. About David Aaker David Aaker, the Vice-Chairman of Prophet (a global consultancy around brand, growth, and digital transformation) and Professor Emeritus of Marketing Strategy at the Berkeley-Haas School of Business is the author of over 100 articles and 18 books including Aaker on Branding and Creating Signature Stories. He had received four career awards including the NYAMA Marketing Hall of Fame. Named as one of the top five most important marketing/business gurus in 2007, he is a recognized authority on brand strategy. His latest book, Owning Game-Changing Subcategories: Uncommon Growth in the Digital Age, shows how to generate growth platforms by creating, positioning, and owning new subcategories and takes a strategic look at Digital by describing its role enabling subcategory formation. Episode Highlights Where did the idea for David’s latest book, Owning Game-Changing Subcategories, come from? “I got ahold of three decades of beer data …” While this could sound like the beginning of a wild weekend, David observed that significant growth in categories like beer and automotive came with the emergence of sub-categories. Growth, strategy, and innovation books are missing out on four key areas, according to David: (1) “Any sense of branding,” a disconnect we discussed extensively during the podcast. (2) “They don’t recognize the digital age,” (3) “Social—everything used to be media-dependent now companies like Dollar Shave Club come along” and win big, and (4) “Communities,” David notes citing brand-driven communities like Sephora and Etsy. What can brands do to grow right now as many are struggling to keep their doors open? “This represents an opportunity. There’s an enormous need for us to be able to operate in an environment like this. Can we find new opportunities? Can we innovate?” This once again brought us back to our discussion of communities for brands like Sephora and the big role it plays when we’re all socially distanced. What brand has made David smile recently? David has found some much-needed laughs in difficult times from the classic TV comedy Reno 911. He also shared his favorite humorous book that he often revisits, Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. To learn more, check out the Prophet website including David’s blog.

Wendy Bittner is a scientist, a former McKinsey & Company consultant, a leader, a coach, a seeker, and an all-around wise person. In this episode, we explore the concept of leading and living in a complex world, based on her own experience and through the academics and theories that are the foundation for her work. Wendy first encountered complexity from the scientific side while getting her PhD in inorganic chemistry at Caltech. From there, she became a consultant at McKinsey & Company, where she ran head-first into the complexity of the business world…and the many ways in which we, as humans, are ill-equipped to handle it. A move into leadership development at McKinsey and beyond brought her into contact with Jennifer Garvey Berger and, later, Keith Johnston, who helped her begin to adapt the learning from the science of complexity into the practical application of complexity to organizations. Today, as a partner at Cultivating Leadership, Wendy serves a range of clients around the world from non-profits to commercial banking, from small startups to tech giants. Her work is as wide-ranging as her clients, encompassing individual coaching, team-based interventions, leadership programs and keynotes to larger audiences, but always working at that critical intersection of complexity and human capabilities, helping her clients to grow into and thrive as their biggest selves. In addition to her work with Cultivating Leadership, Wendy is a periodic guest lecturer at the Berkeley Haas School of Business and a certified MBTI, LVI and Leadership Circle practitioner. When not following the nomadic lifestyle of a leadership development practitioner, Wendy has the good fortune to live in northern California wine country. Her passions outside of people development include cooking elaborate meals for friends, baseball (full disclosure, she is a Dodgers fan), games of all kinds, and wine.

Breakthroughs can take our work to new and exciting places, yet they rarely happen as often as we’d like. Are there ways to prompt these kinds of moments, so we can create them more often? Olivia Fox Cabane and Judah Pollack tell us how in their book, The Net and the Butterfly: The Art and Practice of Breakthrough Thinking. Olivia is the former Director of Innovative Leadership for Stanford StartX and bestselling author of The Charisma Myth. She has worked with companies like, Google, MGM, and Deloitte, and she has lectured at Harvard, MIT, and Yale. Judah Pollack is a former faculty member at Stanford StartX and a lecturer at University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business. He has worked with organizations like Airbnb, IDEO, and the U.S. Army Special Forces. In this interview we discuss: How breakthrough thinking requires two systems in the brain: the Executive Network (the net) and the Default Network (the butterfly) How we need off-task time in order for the Default Network to engage and create breakthroughs The 4 types of breakthroughs: Eureka, Metaphor, Intuitive and Paradigm How Eureka Breakthroughs are sudden insights that are fully formed, when everything seems to fall into place That we are predisposed to certain kinds of breakthroughs and how it helps to honor our natural style That no one style of breakthrough is any better than another How Metaphorical breakthroughs help us see topics in new ways How Intuitive breakthroughs seem like just the beginning and less easy to trust, requiring us to have faith in the process How Steve Jobs had an intuitive breakthrough that the iPhone needed to be made of glass That our brains our physical objects that need to build new neurotransmitter receptors in order to construct new knowledge How our practice with exploring new experiences in the brain affects our ability to make breakthroughs How surfing the net for new things or watching new movies can help with building the brain plasticity that helps to make breakthroughs How curiosity enlivens brain plasticity How fear negativity affects the Default Network and works against us having breakthroughs Why our best ideas may come to us in the shower How our inhibitions can cause us to feel like imposters or make us overly critical, either of which can hinder breakthrough thinking How the placebo effect can be used to our advantage Ways we can practice failure in order to normalize our feelings about it Three supertools that can help us achieve breakthroughs How the journey toward topic mastery create preconditions for breakthroughs How implementing these practices can affect us down to the gene level How to find the balance between our fast-paced, hyper-focused work world and the slower, more diffused approach needed for breakthrough thinking Links to Topics Mentioned in this Podcast Olivia Fox Cabane Judah Pollack The Net and the Butterfly: The Art and Practice of Breakthrough Thinking The Charisma Myth Stanford StartX University of California Berkeley The Executive Mode Network of the brain The Default Mode Network of the brain The Arab Spring The Revolutions of 1848 Occupy Wall Street Steve Jobs Think Wrong Neuroplasticity Impostor Syndrome Inner Critic Placebo Effect Meditation If you enjoy the podcast, please rate and review it on iTunes - your ratings make all the difference.
