This week, a profound exploration of abstract strategy - and specfically Colonel John Boyd's OODA loop concept - with former Commando and professional technology strategist Ben Ford. If you are interested in any aspect of good decision-making under pressure, this is one you won't want to miss.Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop, is a powerful concept that describes how individuals and groups (and even entire armies or organizations) make and optimize decisions. Boyd, a US military fighter pilot, developed the concept over many decades of research, reflection, and practical experience. Ben Ford has studied Boyd's theory and its implciations extensively, drawing on threads from mathematics, evolutionary biology, manufacturing, and military command structures to provide a deeper context for his work. the origins and central concept of the OODA loop using OODA in combat to disorientate and destroy decision-making structures how expectation shapes observation (and leads to dangerous biases) implicit guidance as applied to everything from martial arts and military combat to motorcycles and manufacturing Many thanks to Ben for such a fascinating and powerful discussion.

This week’s guest is, Zack Kanter, the founder and CEO of the Stedi. Zack and I decided not to talk much about his business on this podcast and opted instead to explore more generally, so a bit of an introduction to what they do may be helpful here for some extra context. Stedi is a platform for exchanging and automating 300+ types of business-to-business transactions - transactions like purchase orders, invoices, etc. It’s a modern take on an archaic protocol called EDI - electronic data interchange, something I’d never even heard of until several months ago. Learning about EDI is a bit like finding out about the Matrix - every physical object you come across, from the food you ate for breakfast to the clothes you’re wearing and consumer electronics you use - anything with a barcode on it - was likely touched by EDI, often dozens of times before making it into your hands. Stedi is the first update to this messaging later in decades. Our conversation in this podcast is about business in general, starting with Zack’s fascination with Walmart and Amazon. I should also not that my family is a recent investor in Stedi, and I’m thankful to have learned a great deal from him over the past few months. Please enjoy our conversation.

OVERVIEW Listen in as I interview Tim Dain, President and CEO of MARIS MLS in St. Louis. The real estate industry’s use of and need for data is increasing at lightspeed. Historically, MLSs have been the providers of all property related data to industry participants. As a “why” thinker in a world dominated by status quo, Tim provides his thoughts on why MLSs will look much different in the future and how he is molding MARIS into a prototype MLS that will best serve changing industry demographics and deliver the data framework the industry needs. Tim’s Thoughts: Service is not overrated In his first year, he focused on infrastructure that supports a better member service level MLSs not well positioned to meet the data needs of the industry There's a significant need to segment MLS members into generational segments who want to interface with the MLS in various ways (e.g. Boomers and Millennials) Tim’s motivation to innovate is internally generated out of his love for the industry Looking 10 years down the road, Tim discusses a connected data node network and local service centers.

My guest this week is remarkable. He now applies his talents on Wall Street, searching for smaller cap companies trading at huge discounts in an effort to compound wealth for his investors. He is classically trained, having earned his graduate degree from Colombia, a school known for producing value investors. But his method also reflects what he learned across more than a decade of active duty in the U.S. military. Mike Zapata served us all as a Navy SEAL in the aftermath of 9/11 and ultimately as a member of the SEAL’s “Development Group,” commonly known as SEAL team 6. I think everyone listening strives for excellence in what they do. This week we get to hear from someone who has pursued excellence on our behalf. I’ll let him explain the meaning of his firm’s name, Sententia, but for now suffice to say we are lucky to have quiet professionals like Mike. If you are interested in supporting the families of soldiers who fought with Mike and lost their lives, I encourage you to check out the Tip of the Spear foundation and make a donation along with me, small or large.
