Anthony Pompliano — investor, entrepreneur, and media powerhouse — returns four years and 228 episodes later to discuss his new book, How To Live an Extraordinary Life, a collection of 65 heartfelt letters to his two children. At just 36, Anthony has already invested in circa 200 companies, served in Iraq with the U.S. Army, built and sold multiple businesses, and created one of the world's largest independent media platforms. You don't accomplish all that without learning a thing or two, and in this episode we dig into his hard-earned insights — from the uniting traits of the world's smartest people, to the luxury of pessimism, to why luck isn't real. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Today, I'm speaking with Monica Brand Engel, a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Quona Capital, an impact pioneer focusing on financial inclusion in emerging and frontier markets. Quona's mission is to generate impact and returns by investing in micro, small, and medium-sized businesses across South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The company is dedicated to transforming lives in underserved and underbanked communities through fintech solutions that bridge the gap between emerging markets and advanced financial infrastructures. It offers a range of financial products that meet the unique needs of consumers in these markets, including digital payments, lending platforms, accessible insurance products, and comprehensive neo-banking services. Monica's journey into impact investing is deeply influenced by her multicultural upbringing and experience in both the private and nonprofit sectors. She began her career in financial services, driven by a deep commitment to economic empowerment and financial inclusion, which eventually led her to co-found Quona Capital. Before founding Quona, Monica was a Vice President at ACCION International, a leading global microfinance organization promoting commercial approaches to alleviate poverty. Quona Capital is strategically focused on understanding the nuances of investing in emerging markets so that it can support entrepreneurs with both local insight and global expertise. However, it has not only made a significant impact on financial inclusion but has also proven that these ventures can generate strong financial returns. Under Monica's leadership, Quona has grown to manage $760 million in assets, with a team that speaks 21 languages and operates across major hubs like Mexico City, Bengaluru, Jakarta, and Cape Town. Join me today as I speak with Monica about her remarkable background and how Quona Capital creates opportunities for millions of people in regions often overlooked by traditional financial service providers.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing. —Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Key Takeaways: Monica's background and early career (00:00) The calling to work internationally (19:23) Career in ACCION International and shifting focus to fintech (27:39) The birth of Quona Capital (38:19) Quona's mission and key strategies (52:54) The meaning of financial inclusion (59:26) What makes a company investable for Quona (01:03:41) 3 key measures of impact (01:11:37) Aligning impact and financial returns (01:20:58) Evaluating and managing risks in emerging markets (01:36:05) Key lessons for impact investing success (01:44:35) Contact information (01:56:48)—Additional Resources: Visit Quona's websiteFollow Quona: - LinkedIn - X - Medium Connect with Monica: - LinkedIn - XConnect with Michael Chu on LinkedIn ‘The Innovator's Dilemma' by Clayton M.

He's made early bets on transformative companies like Twitter, Lyft, Twitch, Okta, Rappi, and Applied Intuition and is one of the pioneers of seed-stage investing as a category. He's been on the Forbes Midas List eight times and enjoys sharing the lessons he's learned from his years studying iconic companies. In his new book, Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future, co-authored with Peter Ziebelman, he discusses what he's found separates startups and founders that break through and change the world from those that don't. After spending years reviewing the notes and decks from the thousands of startups he's known over the past two decades, he's uncovered three ways that breakthrough founders think and act differently. In our conversation, Mike talks about:• The three elements of breakthrough startup ideas• Why you need to both think and act differently• How to avoid the “comparison trap” and “conformity trap”• The importance of movements, storytelling, and healthy disagreeableness in startup success• How to apply pattern-breaking principles within large companies• Mike's one piece of advice for founders• Much morePre-order Mike's book here and get a second signed copy for free.

Christensen Clayton M. Christensen was a giant in the world of business and academia. Born in 1952 in Salt Lake City, Utah, he later made significant contributions as a professor and researcher at Harvard University. After earning a BA in Economics from Brigham Young University and an MPhil in Applied Econometrics from Oxford University, he completed his academic journey with an MBA and DBA from Harvard Business School. Christensen's career was groundbreaking, particularly his work on disruptive innovation—a term he coined to explain how smaller companies can successfully challenge industry giants. His book, *The Innovator's Dilemma*, introduced this concept and became a foundational text in understanding technological change and business strategy.

There have been many books on development written and cited by academics from around the world. We will try to focus on those listed within the syllabi of respected universities. It is important for the reader to understand that StimPack is new in its mission to lead development efforts in Haiti. This is an audacious mission considering the many brilliant minds that have preceded us. However, our approach is far more humble than it might initially appear. We intend to stand on the shoulders of our experienced predecessors, leveraging their experimentation and resulting wisdom to move this work forward. StimPack also realizes the value of development work done outside of Haiti that may have significant value within it. This article will work to apply to Haiti the ideas of the late Clayton M. Christensen of Harvard Business School and his co-authors Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon as taught in their book The Prosperity Paradox. We hope you will find this a valuable exercise. This will not be a summary or thorough book report. We have instead extracted a few points we find relevant to Haiti.

We also talk about the types of problems startup accelerators are especially good at helping founders solve. In addition, we discuss the differences between accelerators: Y Combinator vs Techstars vs Pear VC, etc. Collin has invested in over 80 early-stage companies, including PayJoy, Landed, Mosaic Voice, Postscript, and Vellum.

Clayton M. Christensen died back in 2020. He was a 67-year-old Harvard Business School professor and management guru. He authored books, “The Innovator's Dilemma” and “How Will You Measure Your Life?" Clayton had leukemia. The title of today's show was taken from a Wall Street Journal article about him. He was a man of faith, a Morman. While attending Oxford University, where he also played basketball, he refused to play in a championship basketball game (he was 6' 8"). Wrote Clayton, “Had I crossed the line that one time, I would have done it over and over in the years that followed." Professor Christensen observed that in the next life God wouldn't likely ask him about being a Harvard professor, but would instead inquire, Can we just talk about the individual people you helped become better people? His 2012 book, "How Will You Measure Your Life?" bespoke how he was driven by faith...not just business. Evidently, he believed helping others was a large component of living a good life. That's our topic in this episode of Leaning Toward Wisdom. It's also on my mind because today is June 10th - my wife's birthday. She's the single most important person in my life and has definitely helped me become better. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Welcome to the BizQuik podcast, where we help entrepreneurs and business owners navigate the ups and downs of running a business. I'm your host, Julie Traxler, and in today's episode, we'll be discussing a concept from Clayton M. Christensen's book, "How Will You Measure Your Life?" called "What Job are you Hiring for?"   According to Christensen, understanding the job your customers are trying to accomplish is crucial for creating a successful product or service. It's not just about selling a product or service, it's about helping your customers achieve their goals.   For example, let's say you own a coaching business. Your clients aren't just hiring you to give them advice, they're hiring you to help them achieve a specific goal. Maybe they want to increase sales or improve their communication skills. Understanding the job your clients are hiring you for will help you create a more effective solution that meets their needs.   The same goes for any business. Whether you're selling a product or service, understanding the job your customers are trying to accomplish is key to creating a successful business. You're gonna focus on the job to be done. You can then create a more effective solution that meets the needs of your customers.   As entrepreneurs and business owners, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks of running a business. But it's important to take a step back and ask yourself, what job are my customers hiring me for? By understanding your customers' needs and goals, you can create a business that truly meets their needs.   So, take some time to think about the job your customers are hiring you for. Are you meeting their needs? Are you providing a solution that truly helps them achieve their goals? By focusing on the job to be done, you can create a more successful and fulfilling business for yourself and your customers.   That's it for today's episode of BizQuik.

Today I'm chatting with Bruno Aziza, Head of Data & Analytics at Google Cloud. Bruno leads a team of outbound product managers in charge of BigQuery, Dataproc, Dataflow and Looker and we dive deep on what Bruno looks for in terms of skills for these leaders. Bruno describes the three patterns of operational alignment he's observed in data product management, as well as why he feels ownership and customer obsession are two of the most important qualities a good product manager can have. Bruno and I also dive into how to effectively abstract the core problem you're solving, as well as how to determine whether a problem might be solved in a better way.    Highlights / Skip to: Bruno introduces himself and explains how he created his “CarCast” podcast (00:45) Bruno describes his role at Google, the product managers he leads, and the specific Google Cloud products in his portfolio (02:36) What Bruno feels are the most important attributes to look for in a good data product manager (03:59) Bruno details how a good product manager focuses on not only the core problem, but how the problem is currently solved and whether or not that's acceptable (07:20) What effective abstracting the problem looks like in Bruno's view and why he positions product management as a way to help users move forward in their career (12:38) Why Bruno sees extracting value from data as the number one pain point for data teams and their respective companies (17:55) Bruno gives his definition of a data product (21:42) The three patterns Bruno has observed of operational alignment when it comes to data product management (27:57) Bruno explains the best practices he's seen for cross-team goal setting and problem-framing (35:30)   Quotes from Today's Episode   “What's happening in the industry is really interesting. For people that are running data teams today and listening to us, the makeup of their teams is starting to look more like what we do [in] product management.” — Bruno Aziza (04:29) “The problem is the problem, so focus on the problem, decompose the problem, look at the frictions that are acceptable, look at the frictions that are not acceptable, and look at how by assembling a solution, you can make it most seamless for the individual to go out and get the job done.” – Bruno Aziza (11:28)   “As a product manager, yes, we're in the business of software, but in fact, I think you're in the career management business. Your job is to make sure that whatever your customer's job is that you're making it so much easier that they, in fact, get so much more done, and by doing so they will get promoted, get the next job.” – Bruno Aziza (15:41)   “I think that is the task of any technology company, of any product manager that's helping these technology companies: don't be building a product that's looking for a problem. Just start with the problem back and solution from that. Just make sure you understand the problem very well.” (19:52)   “If you're a data product manager today, you look at your data estate and you ask yourself, ‘What am I building to save money? When am I building to make money?' If you can do both, that's absolutely awesome. And so, the data product is an asset that has been built repeatedly by a team and generates value out of data.” – Bruno Aziza (23:12)   “[Machine learning is] hard because multiple teams have to work together, right? You got your business analyst over here, you've got your data scientists over there, they're not even the same team. And so, sometimes you're struggling with just the human aspect of it.” (30:30)   “As a data leader, an IT leader, you got to think about those soft ways to accomplish the stuff that's binary, that's the hard [stuff], right? I always joke, the hard stuff is the soft stuff for people like us because we think about data, we think about logic, we think, ‘Okay if it makes sense, it will be implemented.' For most of us, getting stuff done is through people. And people are emotional, how can you express the feeling of achieving that goal in emotional value?” – Bruno Aziza (37:36)   Links As referenced by Bruno, “Good Product Manager/Bad Product Manager”: https://a16z.com/2012/06/15/good-product-managerbad-product-manager/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brunoaziza/ Bruno's Medium Article on Competing Against Luck by Clayton M.

In the 1980s, Clayton Christensen cofounded a startup that took over a market niche from DuPont and Alcoa. That experience left Christensen puzzled. How could a small company with few resources beat rich incumbents? It led to his theory of disruptive innovation, introduced in the pages of Harvard Business Review in 1995 and popularized two years later in The Innovators Dilemma. The idea has inspired a generation of entrepreneurs. It has reshaped R&D strategies at countless established firms. And it has changed how investors place billions of dollars and how governments spend billions more, aiming to kickstart new industries and spark economic growth. But disruption has taken on a popular meaning well beyond what Christensen's research describes. Some critics argue that the theory lacks evidence. Others say it glosses over the social costs of lost jobs of bankrupted companies. And debate continues over the best way to apply the idea in practice. 4 Business Ideas That Changed the World is a special series from HBR IdeaCast. Each week, an HBR editor talks to world-class scholars and experts on the most influential ideas of HBR's first 100 years, such as shareholder value, scientific management, and emotional intelligence.

The 2010 FTC/DOJ Horizontal Merger Guidelines indicate that merger review should consider whether a proposed merger may lessen competition by eliminating a "maverick" firm that plays a disruptive role in the market to the benefit of consumers.

Saya membahas buku How Will You Measure Your Life? karya Clayton M. Christensen. Buku ini membahas cara menemukan makna dan kebahagiaan dalam hidup. Kenapa ada orang yang karirnya sukses tapi tidak bahagia? Entah terjebak dalam hubungan percintaan yang gagal atau pada skandal kejahatan atau keuangan? Penulis bercerita pengalamannya sendiri bagaimana pengejaran karir sepanjang hidup justru mengarahkan dia pada perangkap yang berujung pada ketidakbahagiaan. Mungkin alasan utamanya, kita terlalu menggampangkan urusan di luar pekerjaan. Kita merasa tidak perlu meluangkan waktu untuk keluarga atau sahabat, karena selama ini, mereka juga tidak mengeluh ketika kita seringkali tidak ada. Kita merasa semua baik-baik saja. Hingga pada suatu hari, muncul masalah besar dalam kehidupan pribadi kita yang biasanya sudah terlambat untuk diperbaiki. Inilah yang mungkin perlu kita sadari. Tidak peduli seberapa keras kamu bekerja atau berapa kali kamu mendapatkan promosi jabatan, keluarga dan teman merupakan sumber kebahagiaan yang sejati.
