Striking a Chord (ft. Chris Barton)Listen-in with the founder of the world's most innovative listening appOPENING QUOTE:“There's so many unique ways of doing things, and the key thing is to question the assumptions. Don't assume that what holds true for one other speaker, holds true for you.”-Chris BartonGUEST BIO:If you've ever heard music playing and wondered, “Hey, what song is this?” You have Chris Barton to thank for the answer. Chris is the founder and former CEO of Shazam, the music identification app that went from “impossible” according to MIT professors, to “ahead of its time,” in a world with no apps or app stores, to becoming the 6th largest acquisition by Apple in the history of the company in 2018.Chris is also a founding member of Google's Android Partnerships team, holds 12 patents, and founded Guard, a system that uses AI to prevent drowning in swimming pools. Of course, Chris is also an incredible (and incredibly successful) keynote speaker on how to rethink obstacles and take inspired action.Links:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[5:50] - Being Ahead of Your Time Means Lots of WaitingHow innovation can feel frustratingYou probably first heard of the song-identifying app Shazam some time in the last several years. It seems like sometime around the mid-2010s, Shazam was everywhere, leading up to its being acquired by Apple in one of the company's biggest acquisitions of all time.But Shazam was actually launched in 2002, spent six years barely escaping bankruptcy, and only survived thanks to Apple's App Store finally launching in 2008. Shazam was ahead of its time. And while that concept conjures images of billionaire innovators beating the market and blowing minds, the truth is that it often means a lot of waiting for the world to catch up. If you're ahead of the curve in your arena, it may feel a lot like you've missed the train. In reality, the train just has to catch up to you.[20:35] - Start with First PrinciplesMake a habit of ignoring what's expectedChris often turns to the scientific and philosophical concept of first principles: beginning any train of thought with no assumptions. It's a matter of breaking down everything into the most basic truths, which then leads you to question the things that are assumed to be truths but may not be.For example, there was an assumption that you have to recognize what's playing on the radio in order to tell people what song they're hearing. That was an assumption which Shazam turned on its head.Where can you challenge assumptions in your own life and career? What do people currently “know” that just ain't so?[22:17] - Innovate EverythingFrom your story to your conversationsChris shares a compelling story about how he landed a great apartment in an “impossible” market. By determining that landlords were always the first people to know when an apartment was becoming available, he bypassed the gatekeepers and found out about new opportunities first. Chris advocates for applying this principle across your life and career. He builds on his “first principles” idea to show that every aspect of what you do is an opportunity to innovate. Every process, every convention, was at one point a crazy new idea. How might a crazy new idea change your life?[27:55] - You're a Product, and That's OkayBeing objective can transform your career for the betterAs keynote speakers, we tend not to like thinking of ourselves as products. It feels like an oversimplification, a cold and calculated idea. But Chris argues that when you think of yourself and your message as your product, you free yourself from the self-consciousness that comes with self-assessment. You can take on feedback, criticism, and opportunities for improvement without personal feelings getting in the way. You can make your product — your keynote and the way you deliver it — the best possible product it can be.RESOURCES:[1:52] The Story of Shazam[10:17] About BigSpeak[30:04] About Alison LevineFollow Chris Barton:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

My guest today is Chris Barton, the co-founder of Shazam, which was created due to Chris' frustration with being unable to identify a song he heard while at a club in San Francisco in 1999. Shazam Entertainment has raised $143.5M. In 2018, Apple bought the music recognition startup and app Shazam for about $400 million.I doubt anyone who doesn't like music hasn't used Shazam.

Have you ever heard a song while you're in a bar, at a restaurant, out shopping, or watching TV and wondered: “What is the name of that song?” Although you may not have heard of my guest today, I can almost guarantee you've heard of his product. Over 2 billion people have downloaded it, 8 million new users every month use it (without a dollar of marketing) and in 2017 Apple bought it for $400 million dollars. That company is of course – ShazamToday's Guest My guest on today's episode is Chris Barton. Chris is the first CEO and Founder of Shazam and an Innovation Keynote Speaker. When Chris first founded Shazam in the year 2000, it was an idea considered too far ahead of its time. To give that some context, this was three years before iTunes, seven years before the invention of the iPhone and eight years before anyone had heard of an App Store. To put it simply - there was no market for digital music.Chris went on to accomplish what everyone told him was impossible. Taking his idea from ‘it will never work' to creating a global phenomenon, redefining the music industry and giving birth to the unofficial verb: “Can you Shazam this song for me?”. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cjpbarton/You'll LearnHis struggle with undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD as a child – a disadvantage that he now considers to be his absolute super power.The story of pitching a demo version of Shazam to potential VC's and being told: "I don't see why anyone would ever use that.". Then why that became his motivation to take Shazam into the stratosphere.The importance of holding a ‘start from zero' mindset. Which involves questioning every assumption others hold to be true - then building from those basic truths.How hard he had to fight to keep the name ‘Shazam' and how to walk the line between staying true to your vision – and leaning into other peoples expertise.Finally his learnings on how to get traction with an idea that's years ahead of its time – from pitching the ‘un-pitchable' to the core levers of achieving groundswell.References and links mentionedMy new ebook The Influencer CodeIf you liked this episode, you might also enjoyTom AsackerBill ColettiSubscribe to and Review the Inside Influence PodcastThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

What a tale these two old pals have to share with you. Ben Skinner and Chris Barton were born and raised right here in La Crosse. They fell in love with the restaurant world here in town and as their talents grew they moved to Minneapolis and then Seattle. But restaurants can be brutal places to work, and they each have the scars to prove it. So, they came back home and thought "Hey....why don't we put restaurant quality food in jars?". So was born Paulin's Provisions. If you like delicious food, bawdy laughter and straight forward social commentary, you'll love this conversation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

IN EPISODE 123: Shazam is the one of the most downloaded apps of all time, but the secret to its success wasn't being first in its category -- it was first principles. In Episode 123, Chris Barton, Shazam's founder and first CEO, explains why he chose to "start from zero" and built an app based on fundamental truths, not convenient tactics. We discuss creative persistence (and why most good ideas fail to get off the ground), how to apply "first principles" in other facets of life (like finding a coveted apartment), and how companies can bring this type of innovative thinking to their own ranks. ABOUT CHRIS BARTON: Chris Barton is the founder and first CEO of Shazam, which has been downloaded over 2 billion times. He's a serial entrepreneur who pioneered mobile partnerships at Google and Dropbox and holds 12 patents, including one found within the Google search algorithm. Chris speaks about innovation to audiences around the world and is the founder of Guard, which uses AI to detect and prevent drowning in swimming pools. LINKS: Website: www.chrisjbarton.com
The guest today likes to create magic and bring that magic to music. Chris Barton, the Founder of Shazam, shares the magic behind Shazam and how he overcame the naysayers who say his idea to identify music out of thin air is impossible. Our brain is wired in a certain way due to societal pressures and the world we work in, so Chris implores everyone to start from zero by resettling the way our brain works. He discusses the five methods of starting from zero and dives deep into the concept of creative persistence.

We ask a lot of questions on this podcast. Where this originated, who did that, how did this invention take shape…this type of curiosity is what leads us to this episode. Today on this episode of the missing chapter, we welcome author Chris Barton. Author of more than 20 published books, including the focus of this episode, his book called Dazzle Ships. These ships weren't your ordinary battleships in World War I, they have been specifically camouflaged, not to blend in, but to stand out. Now why would a battleship want to stand out, rather than blend in? Isn't stealth one of the main sources of defense? Well, in this case, standing out IS the source of defense and Author Chris Barton will show us how one man's incredible imagination and ingenuity led to one of history's forgotten stories…Dazzle Ships.

Chris Barton founded the app Shazam twenty years ago in 2002, years before the iPod and iTunes had even been created. In fact, the flip phone had just come out. With an unwavering vision for what's possible – and a core principle of creating from the heart and building with the mind – Barton built one of the most popular apps of all time. Shazam has surpassed 1 billion downloads, and has hundreds of millions of active users daily. It was acquired by Apple in 2018 for $400 million, making it Apple's fifth largest acquisition. In this lively and inspiring conversation with Tony Robbins, Barton shares how his own perseverance made the impossible possible, and reveals how personal limitations can in fact be your superpower.

Aspects of Innovations Everyone is creative internally. But innovation has two aspects: creativity in coming up with the idea and following through. The latter is 90% of the equation. There are ways to train and come up with game-changing ideas. Rituals for Creativity For Chris, exercise helps. The combination of exercise and the meditative state that he enters when running helps in creative thinking. Pro tip: Have your phone handy to write the ideas down when it comes up. Five Unexpected Methods of Disruptive Thinking The ingredients of game-changing innovations starts with grounding to your basic truths. Creative persistence - Seeing it through; not only persistence but finding creative solutions Eliminating friction - strive for simplicity; "all you have to do is" is a sign of too much friction Picking your obsession - innovation lock in on where you believe; stick to it even in the face of resistance Connect to emotions - pull from the heart Non-consensus insight - hold your convictions; but as a leader you have to communicate that How is Innovation connected with Emotion Your team builds connection emotionally when they contribute ideas and understand how it can be an act of service–by impacting people. Chris' Best Medicine: My son. And vitamin B!
As an inventor and businessman, Shazam founder Chris Barton knows how to get an idea off the ground. In this episode of Coffee N° 5, he talks about creative persistence as a methodology that uses innovation to overcome hurdles during development. His company Shazam didn't start with a completely original idea. According to him, there were many companies already trying to solve the problem of identifying music before he hit the scene. But by reframing how to solve this everyday problem, he created something truly innovative and successful.What you'll learn: Great innovation takes place across the board, it's not necessarily a product (It can also be business processes, models, etc.)The benefits of the agility that comes with smaller start-ups and the creative workers they drawHow a healthy and constructive attitude towards fear helps entrepreneurs super-charge their outcomesChris Barton started his career with one of the most innovative companies that came out of the dot-com boom of the 1990s: Google. With that foundation and inspiration, he founded Shazam, one of the most successful and “magical” products that has been downloaded more than one billion times around the world. Today, Barton is an Innovation Keynote Speaker and is working on a new startup that will use artificial intelligence to prevent drowning in swimming pools.For more information, follow Chris on LinkedIn or visit his website.Join our Facebook Group.Download Lara's free PR cheat sheet.Follow our host Lara Schmoisman on social media: Instagram: @laraschmoismanFacebook: @LaraSchmoismanLinkedIn: @laraschmoismanTwitter: @LaraSchmoismanLike and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts.

This week in SoundNotes, Chris Barton joins me to talk through a problem that shows up one way or another in every single CSM class I teach… How do I get my team to want to do Agile when they don't want to do Agile? During the interview, Chris and I talk through different lenses you can employ to get a better understanding of what is driving the resistance and strategies for overcoming it. We also spend some time near the end of the conversation on how to influence when you have no sway. This one came from someone on a team who is earlier in their career and is paired with an older Tech Lead that seems to view her primary role as Team Meeting Scheduler. Whether you are the one trying to influence, or you are the recipient of someone's efforts to influence, there is a lot here that you'll find valuable.
On this week's episode you will meet Austin-based children's author Chris Barton. He is the author of some of my favorite nonfiction biography picture books. You will be interested to learn about Chris' journey to becoming a picture book author. We share the same belief that picture books are the first stories that teach children to love reading and create a much-needed tactile reading experience. He loves to tell stories about how things in the world came to be. You will learn about the research that goes into writing a nonfiction picture book. His two newest books: How To Make a Book (About My Dog) and Moving Forward: From Space-Age Rides to Civil Rights Sit-Ins with Airman Alton Yates are perfect examples of his immense skills. We had a great time discussing our shared understanding that picture books are for people of all ages. You will learn so much from this episode, and I can't wait for you to get to know Chris.
