I think of choosing to be curious as acting on the idea that there is opportunity in the unknown -- a very optimistic enterprise. Kevin Kelly, a man of many passions and pursuits, is a self-described radical optimist. So, what's to be found at the intersection of curiosity and choosing to be optimistic? We explore how radical (and not utopian) this approach is; our moral obligation to create opportunity; embracing an abundance mindset; "lighthouse" parenting; being curious about the things we're not interested in; just how persuasive curiosity can be; and why we're all so very dependent on one another -- in a good way!

He has an incredible story and this is going to be a great one for many different leaders who are facing challenges right now.  In This Episode: When you survive this, what a great story you are going to have to tell.  It is focusing back on the little positives and it's the little things that count.

The high performance begins with you. Putting a priority on getting to know yourself and reflecting (on failures and successes) allows you to choose what learning you consciously want to take forward. The intersection of what makes you unique, the impact you want to make, and what drives you are the critical elements to the customized definition of what high performance is for your business. Once defined, this powerful tool allows you to navigate failure, what is out of your control, and even success. In this program, you will learn how to use your unique strengths, understand why to choose what opportunities to act upon selectively and understand the impact of your choices. You will also learn the importance of being clear when communicating to your team — and communication overall — to give them the confidence to act, adapt, and act again. This and more will give you a basis to remain collected under pressure with minimal setbacks and pivots. Jess Dewell facilitates a discussion about how to create and build a thriving, high-performance business with Julie Perkins, Founder at Wyseminds, Erik Holmberg, President at Nauvatis Coaching, and Chris Michel, Founder of Coach Chris Consulting and Author of The Red Chair Experience.  —--------- If you want to continue to look for inspiration to creatively or innovatively approach decision-making and problem-solving, use the experiences of other business owners who have created great companies.

After attending the University of Illinois, Chris Michel began his career as a Naval Flight Officer, flying aboard P-3 Orion “sub-hunters”.  Today, he is a photographer, chronicling Silicon Valley and the World.  His photography has taken him from the edge of space, to the North and South Poles and everything in between.  Chris’s path from the Navy to photographer was not a straight line, and in this podcast you’ll hear his story.  In this wide-ranging discussion we talk about how Chris made it from the Navy to Harvard business school, where he met his  business partner (and future podcast guest) Anne Dwane.  Also covered are his path to founding two Silicon Valley companies, and his struggle to guide them through difficult times.  Finally, we discuss Chris’s advice on how to think about structuring a career and a life. https://www.christophermichel.com In the Something Ventured podcast, Silicon Valley insider Kent Lindstrom explores the reality behind the headlines, as he sits down with the people who are shaping the way we view the world online...and beyond. https://somethingventured.us  

Chris Michel is a world famous photographer, whose work has been featured in National Geographic amongst others. Michel talks about how San Francisco has changed over time, including one major change that happened in 2007. And about that homeless problem - what are the solutions and what should the city be doing about it? Michel dives into several interesting topics with hosts Jascha Kaykas-Wolff and Sunil Rajaraman.

Chris Michel, the founder of Military.com and Affinity Labs, is a well-known entrepreneur and investor. He is also an accomplished photographer and someone whom I call my photography guru. He is one of the quiet success stories in Silicon Valley, and his journey is chock-a-block of lessons. Michel sits on the boards of Dale Carnegie, Catchlight, Kixeye, and 3D Robotics. His photos have appeared in the National Geographic, the Smithsonian, the New York Times, the BBC, Outside Magazine and others. His "Flying Emperor" photograph was the 2nd place finisher in the 2014 Wikipedia Picture of the Year. We share a love for Leica and its beautiful lenses and often go out to make photos.  After months of arm-twisting, I finally convinced Chris to sit down and tell me his story — his journey in life, his time in the U.S. Navy, his move to Silicon Valley and why he loves photography. We dig deeper into the meaning of life, accomplishment and how to reframe ourselves in a world that is framed by false proxies of success — money and fame. There is so much I learned about him during this conversation, even though we meet for coffee every two weeks. I was moved to tears, and so inspired by our tête-à-tête. Have a listen --you will be glad you did.

The Indian word “guru” means “heavy” in Sanskrit, reflecting an understanding from the Indian society of Buddha’s time, in which the guru figure was an authority or a father figure. Buddha challenged this understanding by undercutting the role of a teacher as an authority figure and by refusing to present himself as such an authority. He taught that the role of a teacher is to be a “kalyana mitra” — “a virtuous friend,” who leads one to enlightenment and exemplifies virtue, rather than being “a boss.”  In this podcast Professor Thurman discusses these, as well as other compelling topics. This episode was recorded on February 27, 2016. “Guru: A Boss Or A Friend? – Episode 60″ of the Bob Thurman Podcast Photo by Chris Michel, Used with permission. “Guru: A Boss Or A Friend? – Episode 60″ of the Bob Thurman Podcast is apart of the Buddhism 101 series using classic teachings from the archives of Robert A.F.
